Majorly overdue
So...this has been a while coming! What can I say, it's been a while since I've wanted to update this thing. And yes, I chose 2:30am to do so. Deal with it.
Update....well, I've left Colorado! I'm back in Virginia, waiting for internships. I've applied to 4, heard back from one (rejection), heard back from another (interview which lead to acceptance), and I'm still waiting for the other two. Figure that Texas would keep me waiting, huh? I'm gonna contact them on Monday and find out what the sitch is. I want to tell the one that I would love the job, but I kinda want to hear from the other two places and (if I get them), check them out, and see just where I would fit in best. I don't want to just end up somewhere, though I really feel I could fit in well at this one place. It's just so...big! They said that last year, they had over 100,000 students come through for the programs I'd be teaching, and they expect more this year. I'd be teaching over 100,000 students!!! That's ridiculous, but exciting at the same time. I just hope that I can make it work, if that's where I end up. It's expensive to live there without getting paid.
What else? I might have a slipped disk in my back from my final Zumba class in Colorado. My back made a really odd popping noise when I was doing a move, and I just wrote it off as awkward, expecting it to hurt for a week or so...but now it's coming up on 3 weeks, and it's not getting any better. If anything, it's gotten worse. WebMD tells me it's a slipped disk, but I'm still kinda hoping that it's a badly pulled muscle or tendon or something. I hate going to the doctor, mainly because they overcharge to tell you what you already knew from WebMD. I actually went in once to a doctor, told them what happened, then had them pull up freaking GOOGLE and then use GOOGLE to tell me what I should do. Um..no. I can do that myself, thanks, without paying you a crap-load of money. I was super pissed that day, but I digress. No doctors. I'm not scared of them, but I just hate wasting my time with them unless I'm really hurt or sick. Or they're awesome time-traveling aliens that go by that name, but again, I digress.
I'm also playing Pokemon again! Yay! I'm so bored here in Virginia since so many of my friends are either (A) not picking up their phone/checking facebook (B) already off on their way back to school or (C) back in Colorado. It's kinda awful to start all over again, particularly when I was just getting into a really great group of friends back there. It was quite literally like this my time in Colorado:
Year 1: College is lame. I have no idea why everyone's wetting themselves to get here.
Year 2: omg, freshmen are pathetic idiots. Please get me the hell out of here.
Year 3: Thank god for work, because I think I'd kill myself otherwise.
Year 4: I have friends! We're doing things! Oh, so this is the "college life" everyone was talking about! Awesome!
MOVE.
Epic fail.
Anyway, my bff and I are doing a thing where we tell each other 3 positive things from the day because we've realized that we complain a LOT about our lives and that finding some positives in each day, no matter what they are, will make us happier people. I think I'll start cross-posting them here because a little more happy can be spread in the world, right?
Today's (well, yesterday's) 3 happy points:
1. I found loads of Zumba songs online that I got to download.
2. My parents left the house for most of the afternoon/evening and I got to just kinda relax and finally be by myself for a while.
3. I got to visit the new grocery store and do a happy dance on their rubber cork floors. :D
