Here I am...

So it's been almost two weeks since the last time I wrote - again - SORRY!!  I have been trying to keep up with my school work because I am pretty sure I have a great chance at making the dean's list.  Yay!  Something I never ever thought I'd see in my life!  I don't want to count my eggs before they hatch with that one, so until the end of the semester, I'm just going to keep working hard and wait to see what happens!

I also finally got a part-time job.  It is in retail of course (and I really can't say where because the company is a little weird with their guidelines for being talked about on the internet? so I don't really want to mess with that) and definitely not exactly what I wanted, but it will do for now!!  The job is seasonal so I will probably only be there until the beginning of January.  At least while I'm still looking for another job I am getting paid in the meantime.  I hope something else comes along because working at this store just doesn't cut it for me - even if it is temporary.  Oh well.  I should be grateful to finally have a job at this point and stop bitching. 

Once again, I am watching my friend's dog for the week while he is in Florida.  I swore up and down that I would not do it again, but I said yes anyway.  This is the LAST TIME and I mean it!  I am not a huge fan of dogs at all, but for a puppy he is actually pretty well behaved.  I think the main problem is the amount of time and attention dogs need that stresses me out.  I feel like I have to stay up late to go let him out, and then wake up again early to do the same.  My sleep schedule gets really messed up and I find myself using a lot of my free time just to catch up on sleep.  He'll be back in less than two days though, so the job is almost done!! :-)

That's about all for now...I have plenty more things to talk to about, but I really didn't want to have a long ass drawn out blog with everything just rolled into one.  I'll catch everything up though VERY soon!

Break on Through (To the Other Side)

Okay so I really, really slacked off during October writing my blog.  I'm sorry!  If anything I have been keeping quite busy around here.  School has been great and I am doing better than I ever could have imagined in my classes.  I had a tough time with one of them, ultimately making the decision to drop the class so it didn't hurt my GPA.  Also:  I changed my major.  Surprise, surprise!  I decided to change it to business, which is what I was majoring in when I originally went to college 6 years ago.  On the bright side, this won't set me back at all because I have more credits that are eligible to transfer from my previous college to my current one.  Yay!  If anything this will only help me graduate earlier rather than later.

I still haven't landed that part time job.  That definitely sucks, but at least people are actually calling me back and I have had a few interviews.  Even though most of the work right now is seasonal and in retail, at least it will be something to bring in a little bit of cash while I am still looking for something more permanent while I am still in school.  We'll see how that goes!  If anything, I hope I get to do the work study program at my college so I can just work there throughout the duration of my academic career.  I'll keep you posted on that!  

Another slight bummer:  a few of my favorite bands, such as moe., Phish, and Dave Matthews all have falls tours and I haven't been able to go to any of them of course since I don't currently have any income.  That is kind of depressing, but hey, what can I do?  There's always next year and many more shows to come.  A friend of mine is lucky enough to be going to the Roger Waters show down in Tampa in about two weeks.  Lucky, lucky, LUCKY!  I couldn't be happier for him though because I know that show is going to be amazing.  

I don't know if any of you keep track of College Football, but living in Syracuse this has been a much, much more successful season than the past few.  If we win this weekend, we should be able to go to a bowl game this year!  We currently have the best record in the Big East.  Who would have thought?  How exciting!  I'm hoping to go to the game this weekend against Louisville.  If not, I'll probably just tag along and go for the tailgating festivities before the game.  Why not right?!  I may as well go show some Orange pride even if I can't physically get into the game!  

Another random, but happy event:  one of my best friends is pregnant with her first child!  She is extremely excited and I am so happy for her.  It is too early to tell what she's having, but she has a feeling it will be a girl.  We'll see!  She also asked me to be the Godmother, and of course I said YES!  I was very honored.   

Well, that's pretty much all I have for now - I at least wanted to post and make it known that I am still here!  :-)
