No winners. Not even after two months.
Yep, it's been two months since I last updated. Why, you may ask? Because within a week's time everything changed, so rapidly and so dramatically, and I didn't have time to write about it. And then, as the weeks went on, I never wanted to because there was so much to catch everybody up on. But now I've got the time, and I miss writing on here, so...here we go.
So I owe Samford a lot of money that I didn't know that I owed them. And I found out that I owed them this money right before classes started. I was going to class, but I wasn't registered. I figured I would keep going to class because I was waiting on a loan that I was almost guaranteed to get that I could use to pay Samford off. Unfortunately, I didn't get that loan. Therefore I had to leave Samford. Meanwhile my car still wasn't fixed. So I had to go out and get a job, get my car fixed, and find a place to live.
Job: I now work full-time at Smith's Variety Store in Mountain Brook. It is a really good job, meaning that it is easy to do and the people are mostly really great to work with and I have a lot of fun. Working full-time is definitely a new experience, but it isn't bad; I've really enjoyed it.
Car: Snowball is fixed! And for a long period of time this time. It's been so great having my own way to get around again, not having to depend on other people. I also took all the boxes and stuff out of him, so he is a clean car. Hooray!
Living place: Currently I am staying the apartment recently vacated by Andrew and Lindsey Murphy. That will all change at the end of April, where I hope to be moving in with An-na-na-na (Anna Slover, that is...it's a nickname for her to distinguish her from the Anna I work with. Remind me to tell you about it sometime). Living on my own is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I never really realized how much of an introvert I am...but I HAVE to have me-time. I feel so much more energized when I am around people because now I spend so much time by myself. It's fantastic.
So there you are. You are now officially caught up on my life. Don't you feel better? Yes, of course you do.
Yesterday was Em's composition recital. It was really cool to hear these pieces performed, especially since so many of them I got to see all the way back from Em saying, "I have this idea...." I'm glad I got the opportunity to be a part of it even though it is probably the most nerve-wracking experience I have had in a very very very long time. (Have I mentioned how much I LOATHE performing?) I am so proud of my roommate!
Well, that's all for today's...er, this week's...I mean, this month's...edition of my blog. Now that I've gotten you all up to date, I hope to return to this thing with more frequency. I missed it!
