It's been a while and I've been sitting on my ass for about a month, so I figure I might as well update this thing. It's summer, I'm bored out of my mind, and it's wonderful. I eagerly anticipated this lazy boredom for most of the school year and frankly, I think I deserve it. However, without any money and with the pending school year looming ahead, I am restless and think it's about time I stepped out of my lazy pseudo-vacation and got moving.
I have an online class I need to take, which I'm not looking forward to but I'll hate myself if I don't take it, (either I won't graduate with a degree in May, or I'll be overloaded with academics.) I FINALLY landed a second job yesterday at Olive Garden, which I'm actually sort of looking forward to. It's one of the busiest restaurants around, so TIPS yay!!! (I applied at a few other places, all of whose parking lots are dead between 2-4 on weekdays, while Olive Garden's parking lot is perpetually packed.) Of course it's a little nerve-wracking seeing as I come from the world of retail, but I'll get over it. I'm a big girl. They have a seven-day-long, 9-5 intensive training program. I'm just excited to A) get out of the house and B) not have to ask my mom for rent money all the time. Maybe even have a little extra to buy myself something useless and pretty. I can dream.
I've been without a phone for about two weeks now. It's starting to wear on me. It doesn't help that I'm home alone for most of the day. One would think that the lack of human interaction would motivate me to clean the ENTIRE house every day. I cleaned the kitchen once...it was nice and somewhat rewarding, but it's not staying that way. I could never be a housewife. Darn.
Oh, and I've recently been in contact with my new mystery roommate, the one that nobody seems to have the faintest idea who the hell she is. She emailed me to tell me she's a rising third-year drama student, she's engaged to another rising third-year drama student, her favorite food is Swedish fish, and she's diabetic. I've tried looking her up on Facebook so I can sufficiently judge her before we meet, but she doesn't have an account. What kind of freak doesn't have a Facebook account so strangers can judge them?!?
