yay!!!
so... i finished my drabble for fwhg_ldws !!!!!!! yay!!! and i'm pretty sure it doesn't suck. :) i've been freaking out about it in the back of my brain all week, but then last night i was just feeling inspired, sat down and wrote it in like less than an hour. i know that it's just a drabble, but it's the longest thing i've ever written... well longest fiction i've ever written. anyway, i'm super excited and feeling proud of myself. so when it's time to vote i'm gonna annoy the crap out of you flist! :) be prepared!
also, in the life of me, i'm looking for a job. due to complications with financial aid, i'm not taking classes this semester. to start with i was a little devastated by that because i'm already not graduating in the allotted four years that the all powerful they give us to graduate from college. no, i'm taking time off, and i definitely don't want for this to be a forever kind of thing. the plan is to take a semester to save enough money to pay what i owe them and take classes again in the summer. i'm hoping this all works out. we'll see what happens. right now the problem is i live in a college town. everyone hires college students and i'm one of many. i've also never had a job in a retail place or restaurant, so i'm not skilled to work at the places where i'm applying. but this is ok because someone has to want to give me a break, right? someone has to want to take pity on a girl who needs a job. and i was a receptionist for almost 3 years, so i think working in a store or as a hostess would be fun and i'd be good at it. so there. *nods* a few people i know are looking into some places for me too, so hopefully i'll have something soon.
i'm moving again too. i've been living with this precious couple that i go to church with since august, but they're having twins soon, so i need to move out so they can prepare for that. i'm moving in with another woman i go to church with whose husband is in Iraq right now. i think it will help her not to be lonely and me to be motivated to get out of bed in the mornings. she's not the kind of person who won't ask me if i slept the day away. so i'm pretty excited. also, she's only 2 years older than me and lots of fun to hang out with. i'm so grateful for people like her in my church who are so giving. she's just letting me move in with her with no expectations that i'll help her pay rent or buy groceries, just that i'll help her when i can. that's so cool because my focus can just be saving money to pay off my debt instead of worrying about how to live and pay rent! thank God for sweet friends.
so even though this semester isn't panning out exactly the way i thought it would, i think it's gonna be good. and the next few weeks promise to be amazing what with that awesome drabble contest i get to have fun with :) also, MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!! have i ranted about how 22 sounds so much older than 21? well it does. but it's ok, we all have to grow up sometime. and my sweet girls from the college i transferred from are coming to visit me and we're gonna have SO MUCH FUN!!! i'm way excited!
i hope you, sweet flister, are having an awesome week as well *hugs* *squishes* *loves precious flist*
EDIT to say: forevrjaci_2008 gave me pretty flowers for my birthday! already! *squee* i feel so loved!!! yay for sweet lj friends!!!!
