It's been a while...

so, it would seem that monumentally important things have been happening in my life, in just the past few weeks. the first being, that my brother celebrated his 22nd birthday. and i made him cupcakes with mustaches on them. here is a picture.
they were "spice" with cream cheese frosting. also i have finally... after weeks, and months, and years! of contemplating. have finally gotten my silly little ears pierced. want to see? here you go...
and! also, after an incredibly tumultuous experience at my job, i have finally quit. today, i turned in my two weeks notice. my last day is october 10. and i have already had an interview. (kind of) i would show you a picture, but you can see that it would probably be kind of rude for me to take pictures of myself while telling my boss that i no longer wish to be employed by them. but right after work today, i went down to the sandwich shop, and asked for an application. the manager handed one to me, and said that if i filled it out right then, he would talk with me. so i did. and he did! he said that he would have hired me right there on the spot if they hadn't had so many applications. (because now, i have experience... and i carry around the stench of success). and that made me feel really good. when he was finished talking with me, i walked over to borders, and i talked with a manager, she said to apply online, but she took my name, and said she would look out for my application...
there is also this little sandwich shop about 20 min. south of me, it's called the little picnic basket. and i think i'm going to see if they will hire me. and then if that doesn't work. i will see if there are coffee shops in the area that need my "flare"

i'm feeling really good about this. i feel like i'm taking control of my life, again. but hopefully this time... i will be the one who comes out on top.

well, that's over.

school has started. and now! i'm starting to feel torn in two. i switch back and forth during the day between
A) oh man, i'm so glad i'm in school again, now my life has purpose
B) crap. why on earth did i do that. now my life has purpose....
haha. i know, so dramatic!
it's been a little tough with work and everything. there were 4 full time people working and then 2 regular part time (myself included) but then one of the full time workers got another job, and is now part time (only a few nights a week) and another one got fired. so it's been a little hectic. especially since the 2 left, have only been working there about 6 or 7 weeks. sigh... so i'm working all weekend. to try and help out, before they find replacement workers.
i need to quit my job. :)

in other news. i think i'm going to start seriously looking into studying abroad. if everything works out the plan is
to finish out the semester, quit my job. and then start a month long road trip across the US (and back) so if i have nothing holding me back - and the travel bug- i think right then, would be the best time for me to high-tail it outta here. and just see where i end up...
