It's so funny how the more you plan things, the less things go as you plan. I give up haha. I thought I was going to move back home for a year and once I figured out where I was going to school I would move out but I just really thought I'd be here for at least a year....well now it's looking like I might be moving out as soon as January! I know that sounds far away but when you planned on moving out next JULY then January sounds really freaking close. I might be starting school (pending acceptance to my school of choice) as early as January/February (spring semester) which means I need to move a little closer to the main campus which is near Evanston (about an hour and a half from me). So I'm thinking I should maybe just sublease an apartment until Alix's lease is up and see if she and I can move in together. It's just all so stressful. I also don't know where all of this money is going to come from. My dad goes back and forth about paying for grad school....one day he says "the master's you get will technically be mine b/c I'm paying for it" and then other days he says stuff about loans etc. so I really have no idea. I'm also getting a new car in the next month or two so it's just a lot of money just being thrown around and it's making me nervous. If I move to Chicago I'm looking at anywhere from $700/mo rent to $1200/mo rent depending on roomates etc. AHHHH. THEN there is still utilities and parking fees, school tuition, books, basic living expenses, my hair appts, clothes, insurance, gas....omg. AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I hate even thinking about it.
Babysitting has been going okay. I've been making a lot of money but I'm super stressed a lot of the time and I rarely have any time to just chill out. I will be getting some time to myself once Izzie starts day camp b/c then I'll only see her 4-5 hours a day 3 days a week which is totally do-able... but I will tell you, that girl is freaking nuts! She is sucha brat...adorable but sooo snotty and I seriously have to send her to her room at least twice a day. Insane. I have found myself wracking my brain trying to figure out ways to wear her out so she will pass out for a few hours. yikes. Oh well.
I got my hair done downtown at the Red Door on Saturday and I am in love with my hair. It's SUPER blonde but it's just what I had been looking for for the summer but the girl who does my hair here cannot do what I'm asking for apparently b/c I've been trying to go blonde since freaking MARCH and this guy met me for 2 seconds and did my hair exactly the way I had been wanting it. I'm going to keep going to him from now on and he was so sweet and soooo gay. LOVED it. After I got my hair done I went to my cousin's baby shower and then out to dinner with my aunt and uncle, cousin jill and my mom. I sat near Paul Konerko. HOW cRAZy!
Oh well.... I feel like I had a lot to say but not really. I leave for vacation on Saturday and I'm just counting the minutes until my flight leaves. I need a tan and I need to relax. In the next few days I need to test drive cars, pack, finish UNPACKING MY STUFF FROM SCHOOOL AHH, get my nails done on friday, my brows done on tuesday, do laundry, tan a few times, go to the bank, email some old professors....not to mention I'm working close to 40 hours this week. Man. I just wish I had a "life planner"...you know, like a wedding planner... I wish I had someone to do all of my life planning and everything that needs to be done to get to my ideal life. That would be G-R-E-A-T.
