New Job
Alrighty, so it's that time - I need a little money in my pocket. Paying my share of rent for the apartment John and I live in is sort of taking a good bit of my money. I decided to get a job. It's not the greatest thing in the world. It's called "Calling Canes" and the name pretty much says it all. We call UM alumni to try and get them to donate money to the school. It won't be hard but I don't think it'll be all that bad. I get paid $8/hour (minimum wage in FL is $6.50) and will have to work a minimum of 6hrs/week. So, I won't be making a ton of money (since I'm going to work about 6-9hrs/week) but ever little bit helps. I just don't have the time to work a lot and that's OK. It'll be good for me to have a job and not sit around the house. :)
On the other side of my life, John will be 28 on Tuesday. I think we're going to go out to dinner at Origin. It's a Vietnamese/Japanese/Thai place that I must say is wonderful. The sushi is amazing as is the curry and pad thai. The only thing is that I'm tired of going there. Oh well, it's his birthday and I want him to be happy! I got him what he wanted (an espresso machine) and I'm probably going to get him some chocolates from the Lindt store. It should be nice. My mom got him a nice gift as well. She got him some coffee for the espresso machine as well as a $25 gift card to Starbucks. I hope he enjoys himself.
Ok, so I'm pretty boring, I know that. A few other things are going on in my life - I've made some new friends and feel like I'm losing the old ones. I feel lonely at times to the point where I think I might break while at other times I feel so overwhelmed by the people in my life that I just want them all to go away. *sigh* I'm working on things at therapy but it takes time and time is something I feel like I don't have. I feel so old! I'm only 18 but I feel ancient.
I also cut my hair really short. My sister said I look like a 12 year old. She's kind of right but I also think it makes me look older. I feel very strange being the only person I see on campus with super short hair. As much as I hate it admit it, my self confidence is not as strong as people seem to think or at least what I want people to think. I'm quite weak and while I don't care what people think of me, I'm terrified of being judged.
