I'm Hired, Again!

Not too long ago my Creative Writing professor mentioned that he would be accepting applications for his T.A. position. I was immediately interested in the job and voiced my excitement in a previous class. Out of fun I'm sure, one of my classmates joked that I shouldn't hog all the on-campus jobs. Since I already had one it would be nice if I left the others alone for someone else. So after that I just sort of brushed off the idea of becoming a Teacher's Assistant and went about my merry way.

A few days later I got an email from my professor asking if I was going to apply for the job. I immediately changed my mind and wrote out a resumé (thank goodness we were constructing resumés in my other English class seeing as I've never had the need for one before). After that I turned it in and later met with my professor.

"Interview is too strong a word," my professor said on the matter, "it's more like a visit."

Interview or not, I just got an email from my professor telling me that I was hired. I'll start next semester and go until the end of July. As far as I know, I'll still be able to have my early morning job as well, I just can't go over twenty hours a week. I'll have to ask my boss about that one. Anyway. I'm super excited!

Feminine Advice.

After waking up this morning (late, I might add) I looked at my face in the mirror and was horrified. I've been getting less and less sleep lately and it's starting to show. I managed to make-do with what I had. But that's not much.

Makeup wise, I only have foundation (which isn't even my shade; there are shades! Who knew?), mascara, eye shadow (which I haven't used in almost a year which was when I got it, because there's four shades and I can't, for the life of me, remember which order they go in.), and blush. Anyway, as I was caking on my makeup I noticed that one of my roommates had a whole bag of the stuff!

So, question. What do you fill a makeup bag with? I mean, I know that you fill it with makeup, of course, but what kind?

Tempting...

Facebook Post.

The below post is a (rather long) conversation I had with my roommates and one of my FHE brothers, and my roommates and I were all sitting together in the living room, most of us attempting to do homework. The main topic was about no-bake cookies and how one of my roommates "went wild" when everyone left for FHE and her and I remained behind to finish up some homework, and to maybe go to bed early (which didn't work, by the way). The conversation, in my opinion, was absolutely hilarious and I just didn't want to forget it. So that's why I posted it, you're welcome to read it but don't feel obligated to do so. Well, chow!

Somebody has WAY too much time on their hands.

Spring Semester.

Just for fun (because personally I think it's hilarious) here are the classes that I'm taking for next semester:

American Literature (Colonial and Romantic)
Children's Literature (which I'm super excited for!)
New Testament
Preparation for Marriage
Marriage
Marriage Skills, and
Parenting Skills

What can I say? I'm excited for marriage! ;)

Quote.

Here is one of my favorite quotes, taken from the movie "Ever After." It's a question I have been ...concerned with. But just a little. I'm not too overly worried at present. I tried finding this clip on youtube but failed. So, you'll just have to stick with reading it.

Henry: Do you really think there is only one perfect mate?

Leonardo da Vinci: As a matter of fact, I do.

Henry: Well then how can you be certain to find them? And if you do find them, are they really the one for you or do you only think they are? And what happens if the person you're supposed to be with never appears, or, or she does, but you're too distracted to notice?

Leonardo da Vinci: You learn to pay attention.

Henry: Then let's say God puts two people on Earth and they are lucky enough to find one another. But one of them gets hit by lightning. Well then what? Is that it? Or, perchance, you meet someone new and marry all over again. Is that the lady you're supposed to be with or was it the first? And if so, when the two of them were walking side by side were they both the one for you and you just happened to meet the first one first or, was the second one supposed to be first? And is everything just chance or are some things meant to be?

Whitening Strips.

I went and bought Crest Whitening Strips yesterday. It's twice a day for fourteen days. I've already used three strips (though its more difficult for me to keep the bottom row from coming off. I'm not sure why, so if my results are skewed to only the top row you'll know why). I'm excited to see how it turns out! I only have to wear them for thirty minutes a day, morning and night (or whenever I want). I may (depending on the results) put up before and after pictures, but who knows? Wish me luck!

I'm Hired!

I guess there's no reason for being excited because its essentially the same thing I do EVERY SINGLE DAY. I was hired to work during my one week break between semesters to clean the apartments in my complex. Every Wednesday we have our "clean checks" and today (if we wanted to be hired) we had to clean one of the bathrooms so that the managers could determine whether or not they really wanted to hire you. So, yesterday I went and bought some bathroom cleaner (one that my roommate swore by) and got to work this morning, after work. ...If that makes sense. Well, I'm hired! I'll be working during the break (sorry Nanc!), working all day, and getting ten dollars an hour. Despite myself, I am very excited!

"Modern Day Hero"

I donated blood today. If my roommates hadn't agreed to come with me, I probably wouldn't have. But I did. I made sure to eat a big breakfast (plus an apple!) so that my chances of get "sick" would be much less. I got there a little after my roommates (I had to run back to my apartment to get my ID) and the donating process went very well. I got to ask my phlebotomist questions about the process and what they do with it and how long it stays good for and all that. Mostly I just asked questions that I already knew the answer to. Things like, "Blood stays good for 42 days right?" That sort of thing, but the phlebotomist (her name was Sarah) seemed impressed and that made me happy. I was able to start and finish without ANY problems! I was light headed of course, but nothing serious. I was SO glad that the lady was willing to stand and talk to me. I think it would have been worse if I was all alone. Anyway. It was good.
