love the sunny days
I'm back in Iowa City and slowly getting into the groove of my new American life. I got off to a rocky start financially but things seem to be looking up now. I'm going back to my old job on Wednesday and might even already be getting a promotion if I choose to accept it. I need to ask around to see if the added responsibilities is worth the pay raise. I don't even know how much of a pay raise it might be. Hell, it'll just be nice to have money again. Finding out my bank account was in the low double digits yesterday had me on the verge of a panic attack. I don't really know what's going on with my diploma. That would be nice to have so I can go out and get a salaried job (=_=) Even though I'll be starting work again, I won't get the paycheck for two weeks. It's nerve-wracking but the most I can do for now is sell my Japanese stuff on eBay.
The majority of my spare time has been spent with Will, but that's not surprising. He bought Civilization Revolution right before I left for Disney World, and now that I'm back I get to play too :D I wanted this game since before I left for Japan - finally having the full version and not a limited demo is great. We've been going out with friends a lot as well. I've managed to not buy a single drink for myself the past few times we've gone out because these friends all want to see me drunk, but it never happens. I lie and say I'm too drunk to drink more, but the reality is that I don't like all the carbonation in the drinks. So it's...win-win? Maybe.
Two more of my packages arrived from Japan - Julia, I think this includes your rainboots! I won't be able to get to them until mid-September though, which sucks a little bit because if I remember correctly one of these includes the adorable set of drawers I had from Peach John.
I could really use this now. I've been confining all of my lingerie to one tiny drawer in Will's dresser. At least he's let me take most of the closet. He wasn't really using it that much anyway.
