time for a little update
Well, what can I say? Life is pretty hectic right now, but it's also very exciting and awesome. I'm working two jobs currently, first at Jake's 5 Star, the convenience store I've worked at all year, and second as a secretary for Drogue Painting, here in Keene. The secretary job sort of just fell into my lap, set up by my boss at Jake's who I think felt guilty for not being able to help me out with full time hours this summer. I'm working for a guy named Alan who is an absolute mess, so taking this job was kind of like becoming his personal assistant and he is difficult to keep up with. He's a middle-aged newly single guy who used to party a lot and is frazzled and stressed out all the time. Typically he naps on the couch or golfs all day while I organize his entire life. I have no idea how his painting business has survived 20 years..I really don't. It's not so bad, because I'm making more money than I ever have before, but I guess that's the trade off. During the week I've been working non-stop. It's really hard to make myself do this when most of the people around me aren't working like crazy like me, but I'm getting used to it. I've got no choice, I love money, and I have weekends off which is a godsend. I've been a busy girl, but I've got lots I want to do this summer and I think it's going to be good.
My sister Karli is graduating next Saturday. I'm reeeaaalllly excited about it because my older sister Stacy is flying in from Illinois, and I absolutely adore her. Us three sisters don't get much time together, maybe twice a year if we're lucky, so I can't wait. I can't wait for her to meet Matt and my friends either because it's probably been at least 2 years since she's been out our way, and so much has changed in those two years, it's rediculous. I don't know about anyone else, but I can't beleive it's been two years since our graduation. I realized that much of that summer after high school, and really my whole first year of college is a blur. I was trying so hard and doing everything I could to block out the pain that I think I ended up just becoming numb and blocking out everything. Looking back now, I don't know how I got through those times, but somehow I did, and I grew up so much. I wouldn't be the person I am today without my past, and it's taught me so much.
Last night was the first time I hung out at Fairbanks St. since it's been Matt, Jeff, Josh, and Dave's place!!!!! The apartment is still only a little bit moved into but I can tell it's going to be awesome. I am so happy things are working out the way they are...having Matt here is going to be amazing. I'm so happy everything worked out for him and Keene State. And I'm just so excited that things are coming together!!!
