Bleh

The past couple days have had their highlights, but for the most part have been shitty. Wednesday I took my little sister and her friend to the beach, which was alot of fun. The weather was perfect, but there were a lot of jellyfish in the water and I had cramps so it could have been a lot MORE fun. We got home late and I had to stay up working on some internship stuff to turn in.

Yesterday sucked. School officially started at VCU, which means I'm officially taking a semester off. It really sucks to watch everyone go off to school. I know I made this decision and it's a smart one, but it's really depressing to know that I'm not in school this semester.

I did have an interview at the local scrapbooking store yesterday, and it went really really well. I ended up talking with the manager for over an hour and I could tell by the end of the interview that I was pretty much hired. She said she would contact me earlier next week.

Last night I went into work only to find that I was on the patio.....again. I've been put in a section on the patio it seems like almost every shift. The patio can be really good, but it can also suck, the money is not consistent at all. I only made $45 last night and I needed to make at least $100. I said something to my manager and it turns out he thought I liked being on the patio....I do like it. Every now and then, but not every day, is what I told him. He told me I could be inside this weekend. Gee, thanks!

I had to stay up last night and finish my internship stuff. I had a paper, journal, and other miscellaneous things to compile. So now I get the pleasure of driving all the way downtown to drop it off before working a double today.

Bleh.

New Blog

Well, seeing as that it isn't summer anymore and I am no longer in the big city, I decided to keep with blogspot but get a new blog. So, welcome!

These past few weeks back in Richmond have been great. Being back down south has been great for me. It's definately nice to be around the people I love---Brian, my roomie and my friends, my coworkers. My new apartment is fab and after I got my room all set up I definatly enjoy it a lot more!!! It's also been nice to have people over. I really like it that Jess has a boyfriend now so we have another couple to do things with. This past thursday we grilled up some steaks and make a bunch of food up, then sat around until midnight playing monopoly. This was followed the next day with a trip to the barbeque place up the road and hours of phase ten. It was great.

Jess and I have been busy planning our first big get together at our place. We're hosting a creative memories party and are sooooo excited. It should be fun, we are expecting a lot of people and the lady who is our consultant is super nice.

On another note, I've decided to take this semester off to take a break and catch up on some things. First, I only have a year left of school before I'm in the real world for real with even MORE bills (student loans), so I want to pay off my credit cards for good. Second, I really don't even feel like I've had a break at all. This summer was so hectic I need some time to wind down, especially with the holidays coming up. It sucks though, because everyone is gearing up and getting their binders and school supplies and I'm.....not. But I did goto the scrapbook store and Michaels the other day and put in some applications, Michaels seemed pretty interested so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon, this way I'll have a second job to help rake in some moo-lah.

So, that is my update in a nutshell. Hope to post some new pics up soon!
