Update!

I have moved and I'm loving my new apartment. It's small, but it's cozy and I am maximizing space by being awesome at arranging furniture. I no longer work at McDonalds. I'm gonna miss some of my coworkers, but the job is evil and I'm glad I won't have to deal with unnecessarily rude customers whose only goal in life is to break my spirit. I actually still don't have internet, so if anyone needs to get a hold of me, I have a phone. Nifty, isn't it? I'm using Kim's apartment for if and when I absolutely must get on the internet. Like to accept my financial aid award. Woot for crazy MAP grant and loans. Work news: I am applying for Inventory Supervisor again, so wish me luck. My old Supe has told me that I am to get a Myspace so she can keep in touch with me when she leaves to start her teaching career. *shudder* Myspace.

Other news: The kitten my mom was getting me is a no-go. My aunts can't bear to part with it, which is ok. I moved Shadow into the new apartment, and she seems a lot less crazy than she used to be. But she is very needy. A good side note; since I've moved, I've been feeling incredibly relaxed and just happy overall. I think I'm finally getting to the point where life is good. Yes, I am still poor, and still in college, but I feel much better about everything. Ah, peace of mind is good.

I would like to say a last shout-out to some of my friends who seem to be slipping away- Stay in touch with me! Even if it's a random phone call every now and then, it's good to know what's going on in your lives and it's good to hear your voices. Well for now, I am out. Hopefully I shall have internet again soon, and then I can update more frequently.

Random Update:

     On July 6th, I'm moving to Sycamore. I'm very excited, mainly because there won't be any drug dealers in my apartment complex. Just old people. Which isn't so bad. And I think my kitty is gonna like it. Also, July 30th is my last day at Mcdonald's and words cannot describe how ecstatic I am about that. I am kinda sad that I won't be working with some of the people any more, because most of my coworkers are awesome, but I'm happy I won't have to deal with people who get ridiculously angry over the stupidest things. Ahh...good times. 

     Side note: This school year is gonna be hard, mostly financially. I'm not gonna get grants because Robby dropped out of school, and it's looking like getting loans is gonna be an issue as well. Academic wise, I really need to crack down. I got lazy last semester, but that needs to change. My grand goal is to get out of here in 2 years, max. I'm savoring the fact that next year, I will officially be independent and financial aid will then be my best friend.

     Work side note: I started an Inventory Member book club, so our 5 person inventory team at Borders is gonna be reading a new book each week. I'm hoping it'll go well. First book was my choice, Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. If you haven't read it, I demand you do. Or else....stuff will happen.

Lastly, Happy 60th Birthday to Grandma Schwarz!! ( and yes, she is crazy young)
