Movin on Up!

Yesterday I put down a deposit on a new apartment! I am sooooo excited! I will be living alone (yay for no more annoying roommates!) in a one bedroom apartment. my favorite part is the closet. It's huge! Plus I am close to the grocery, a target, and TWO crafts stores! I can't wait to move in! I will post pictures once I am all settled!

Roller Coaster Day

So yesterday was quite a day.

It started off well enough. I was excited because I had the day off from work so I could go out and get a lot of errands done. The first thing I did though was call up the guy I have been working with who has been getting me different interviews. I called him to follow up in a few thing and found out I didnt blow the interviewer away during my last interview. Fail. He said it wasnt that I did bad she just wanted excited enough to send me out on the next flight to NYC. He said I was at a disadvantage because I have to do phine interviews while the other candidates live locally.
Anyways, he said he wants me to interview for another position with the same company. Here we go again.

So I was bumming about that. I mean it has been a month probably since I started working with this guy and nothing has really happened. In the mean time I am trying to figure out my budget with my current job and figure out if I will be living in an apatment or a cardboard box when my lease now ends which is at the end of August. Blah.

Anyways I decided I wasnt going to let that ruin my day so I had lunch and got ready and went out to my car. As I was approaching I thought, that's weird it looks like my window is rolled down. If only I was so lucky. No, in fact my entire passenger side window was smashed in. I knew my GPS had been in there so my heart sank knowing that it was now gone. That's all they took. Just the GPS no cords or anything. Stupid. I immediately started bawling my eyes out. I felt so stupid for leaving my gps in the car! I called my parents, then called the police. Luckily my insurance paid for the window and the gps which was really nice. Plus they got me into contact with a company that came to my apartment and fixed the window for me. Such a blessing!

So i was delayed a few hours but I managed to get out and run my errands. I went to cvs to pick up my hawaii pictures and was dissapointed by the quality of the colors. Not sure if it's cvs or my camera. Oh and then I sat on my sungkasses and broke them. I had a new recipe for rice that was supposed to taste like chipotle's. It was ok, it kind of made me feel sick though so that sucked.

I decided i should just stay in the rest of the day so nothing else could happen to me. Sheesh. I know it could have been a lot worse so I am very thankful. I am glad today is a new day!

Good news

Good news, folks!

The little monster in my throat finally set itself free! I do not know how it got out but it was gone when I looked for it yesterday afternoon. Phew! Such a relief!


In other news, the last Harry Potter movie is tonight! I am sooooo excited!!!!

Help!

So I have a problem...

Last Friday I noticed that when I swallowed it felt like there was food stuck on the back of my tongue that I couldn't get down.  I didn't notice it all the time, so I figured I was just being silly.  Saturday I noticed it a little more but it still wasn't that bad.  Sunday, however, I was noticing it a lot and started to freak out a little.  When I looked in the mirror I didn't see anything so I thought it was all in my mind.  Finally, I had my bf look into my mouth to see if he could find anything and at first he didn't see anything so I started saying "aahhhhh" like the doctors have you do and he saw something!  I have a big white spot on my right tonsil.  NASTY.  It looks like a piece of popcorn jammed up in there.  I started freaking out.  We looked it up on the internet and saw that it was most likely a tonsil stone (!?).  Most people can get them out on their own with a q-tip.  I tried to get it out, I really did.  But I have a really bad gag reflex.  Like it's hard for me to take a pill.  So, after a few days I decided I needed to go to the doctor.  So I drove 2 hours home to go to the doctor.  I got in there and he told me some food particles had gotten stuck on my tonsil.  (Ew.)  He said they are pretty common and were nothing to worry about unless they got infected.  He then continued to put a huge Popsicle stick down my throat.  Of course I started gagging and he was just like "yea, your gag reflex is too much.  You are going to have to go to a specialist."  Thanks, a lot doc!  So I drove 2 hours for a 5 minute attempt from him.  Sheesh.  So for now I am trying to get it out myself.  I tried a q-tip, salt water, lemon juice, hot tea, a water pick, shooting water at it from a baby medicine dropper.  It is stuck.

If you can think of any other ways to get it out, please let me know!  I really don't want to have to go to another doctor.  Oh life, you are just full of surprises 

When it rains, it pours

Phew! I have had a busy summer so far!

First graduation, then a trip to Hawaii! While I was in hawaii (waiting in line at Pearl Harbor, no less), i got a call about a job! So within the next week of me getting back I ended up with two job offers! Craziness. I ended up choosing the one I felt could get me up to a full time corporate job the fastest. Hopefully it will lead to bigger and better things! While I was at work yesterday I got a call about my dream job. An assistant buyer for a childrens clothing company! I have a phone interview tomorrow morning that i am very excited about! Wish me luck and i will keep you posted.

Done.

I am officially done with college. How did this happen?! It went sooo fast! Now all that is left is graduation. Holy cow.

No more studying, no more test, no more homework, no more eating an entire large pizza because I am 99% sure I failed my math test. No more walking to class in blizzards or torentual downpours.

I am glad school is done, but boy am i going to miss the lifestyle.

When else in your life is it acceptable to stay out until 3am and wake up at noon? When else can you wear pajamas with ugg boots and people will still accept you? When else can you spend at least half your day on Facebook and not be labeled as a creeper?

O college, how i will look back at our time together with the sweetest of memories. Thank you for teaching me that you can survive off easy mac and hostess snacks, that crazy professors are often the ones you learn the most from, that it's ok to eat a large pizza after you fail an exam as long as you dont take the bus the next day, that your new friends will become a second family, that no matter how old you are you always want your mom when you are sick, and that it is perfectly acceptable to jump in a lake in the middle of November as long as it means your football team will win.

So cheers to college and the road ahead!

I apologize

I apologize for my absence but I recently picked up my new iPad and I am a bit smitten with it...ok totally obsessed with it.


Still looking for a job. So depressing. Sigh. Can i just craft and blog for a living please?
