Ants in my pants

So I'm waiting to find out whether I got one of the Graduate Assistantships I applied for. Whether or not I get one is the basis for a majority of the decision that I am currently need to make. Its driving me loco!!

On the bright side of things, I found and signed a lease for a MOST FABULOUS new apartment that I'll move into June 30th(ish). And there I shall wait for Cait to start bringing home the bacon and move in with me. WAAHOOO!! Everything is better when you live with a friend :-D

And that is all I have to say.

Free time whaaaatt??

Not working is fabulous! I've spent the past two days organizing my life and my apartment. I have a budget so I don't run out of money, I have calendars and lists of all my assignments and projects that need to be done during the next two months, and my floors are clean!! Weird!! My mind feels so much less cluttered and I'm gunna be able to get so much done now! wahhhoooo!!

Also, I get to have so much fun for the next week. I'm going to lunch with Rahim today and then driving home to spend the weekend with Mommy. Sunday evening I'm having dinner with Mr. Sean Sherwood and I couldn't be more excited to spend some time with that man! Monday Alysa is coming here and we're just going to hang around, do homework, and enjoy some vacation. THEN we're going down to Oneonta on thursday with little Franklyn Baxter. Noonan's arm has been twisted in to coming to Otown two weekends in a row so I get to see that girl too. It was pretty tough to convince her but somehow it happened hahaha. While I'm there, Meg Dorak and I are going to play some pool with Sheila Serbay. OH MY GOSHHHH I'm so excited! EEEEeeeeee See ya soooooooonnnn!!!

Feeling about 2 inches tall...

I currently feel like the word's worst person. I went in to work, told my boss I was worried about the hours she was giving me and that I wasn't going to be able to juggle school and work. Monday night she told me that working 3 days a week wasn't going to be enough and that I wouldn't catch on or be of any use to her... TODAY she was acting like 3 days a week was what we had decided on and that would be fine (just like she had said in the beginning). I said I didn't want to have to worry about being given more hours than I could handle and I thought a lot about it and decided I was just going to make it work living off the money I have. She said I should have thought about that before she wasted her time training me since there were four other girls who had applied that she could have given the job to if she knew that I didn't really need a job and that I was "too old to be pulling stuff like that". After that, she just turned around and walked out of her office and left me there with two other employees staring at me. I honestly feel like I've just been in a fight by the lockers in middle school!... I'm not quite sure but I don't believe thats how you're supposed to treat your employees.

So now I feel like a big idiot, but at least I'm no longer working for someone who treats me like that. AND I'm free and clear for visiting loved ones whenever I want. Wahhooo
PS: This is my face for the crazy woman!!

Light at the end of the tunnel....

I haven't blogged in a while. Its been on purpose. I've only had negative things to say for a couple weeks and now I'm starting to see a light at the end of my tunnel!!

I quit Friendly's as announced. This past Sunday was my last day I feel so liberated. I got a new job at a dress shop up the street from my house. I started there two Sundays ago. If you do the math, that equals one week, two jobs. I was a little worn out. At first I really liked the new job but the honeymoon phase is over and I like it no longer. It would be totally doable if I were given the 15-20 hours I was promised. Unfortunately, this week I was given 29 hours. That is 9 hours too many, which makes a big difference in my life. When I brought this to the attention of the owner, she seemed to have no recollection of saying anything about 15-20 hours and pretty much told me that that was not a possibility. The woman terrifies me so I was unable to stand up for myself yesterday when I was talking to her. I've looked over my finances and budgeted out the loan refund money I have and have decided that I am just going to be unemployed for a while. Its not a good move financially, but lets be honest, NOTHING is a good move financially these days. Not working will allow me to get involved in a lot of things around here that I simply didn't have time for up until now. ALSO, I'll be able to make it to Oneontaaaa!!!! Waahooooo!!! I won't be able to spend any money while I'm there, but I think I know enough people who love me to work it out.

After arriving home from my dreadful encounter with the scary lady at work, I decided to go ahead and cut my finger right open on an aluminum can. It hurt quite a bit and I am currently typing with only nine digits. Oh welllll. Today was significantly better because after arriving home from class this evening, I received an email asking me for an interview for the two student affairs graduate assistantships that I applied to, one with the rape center and one with the LGBT center on campus. Allow me to elaborate on the various perks of either of these wonderful positions:
1) Paid tuition
2) A stipend that will allow me to survive without having to work some stupid job
3) Instant involvement on campus
4) Both are centers that i care a lot about and would LOVE to work in
5) Weekends off.. always.
6) School vacation off.. always.
7) Excellent resume builders
8) A feeling of deep personal satisfaction
There are many more but you get the gist.

I am also celebrating the fact that by quitting my job tomorrow, I will get a real live spring break!!! Granted, I have more than enough work to keep me busy but its still a vacation!!! I will see my fam, I will see my girl, and I will see my Oneonta! This is the happiest day I have had in quite a while and I reallyreallyreallyreally hope everything works out the way it seems to be headed!

Perhaps now that I'm out of my gloomy phase, I'll post more often, you never know!
