+I'm only really taking four classes this semester so that I have time to work. Unfortunately my schedule still isn't easy for employers to work around, as I was told today at Caramanda's Bake Shoppe (where Heidi also applied!), but I'm sure I'll come up with something!

+I have joined Choristers, which is the men's and women's choir. It's had a ( Read more... )

I had a dream about squid and catfish last night. I hate having dreams with fish in them-- they're never fun. It all hearkens back to when I was 12 and I was cleaning my fish bowl, and the fish kept jumping out of the bowl I put them in temporarily. Totally freaked me out! I love fish and think they are beautiful, but in my dreams they are always ( Read more... )

Today Robert and I went to the Conseil General du Calvados to see if we could get jobs as teaching assistants. I applied and told them that I couldn't be in Caen until the middle of January, and they said that was fine. If there was a position open, they would let me know, and then I would return in the middle of January. They never called, so I ( Read more... )

I just found out that I have been charged about $40 I didn't know about for using boingo.com. It's totally my fault because I misunderstood the way they charge things and thought I was getting a pretty good deal... now I know better... gah, that makes me so mad at myself. I just don't have this money to lose right now ( Read more... )

This is my church.Gosh, I can't believe that I was invited to go on that trip as a chaperon, and really would have gone if I didn't have to work. Of 70+ students that went on a church trip to a camp in Florida, 21 were injured along the way in Alabama as a hydroplaning truck crashed into one of the buses. It didn't sound like the other driver was ( Read more... )

I started my job at Artique today! It went very well. When we first start our shifts we get to deck ourselves out in any of their beautiful pieces of jewelry, so I must remember to come to work unaccessorized! Today I chose a beautiful silver necklace with some sort of blue stone in it, and it was the most expensive piece of jewelry I have ever ( Read more... )

Hallelujah! Suzanne and Heidi have internet! I had a guy come over today and install basic cable and cable internet, then I hooked up the wireless and we're all set. I feel settled in now. Or I would, if I wasn't using Heidi's computer. Miles broke my laptop, and he had better fix it soon ( Read more... )

Despite my plans for the day being thwarted, I still ended up having a good, although solitary, fourth-of-July-eve. I talked to my mom for about an hour, which was wonderful, but I'm starting to wonder what is up with that lady! She has only called me twice since moving to Kansas. My parents and I are terrible about communicating with each other. I ( Read more... )

My Philosophy class has been canceled for tomorrow! Hell has frozen over! I'm so excited. For the first time all semester, I will be able to make it to work on time. And that's one less hour of that class I have to endure. It's really not that bad. I wish I wasn't taking it because it only counts for an elective credit (I have more than enough ( Read more... )
