I realize that I haven’t posted anything from myself on my blog for quite some time.
I’ve like to point out some things that I have been doing since I have 9 minutes left on this computer session at the Brooklyn Park Library.
1) I got a job working for the planogram team at a Target Greatland store in Brooklyn Park not far from where I currently live.
2) I’ve been trying to complete all of the Carl Hiaasen collection and I only have four more books to read before I’m finished with the whole thing…I am currently working on reading his book “Sick Puppy”
3) I’ve renewed my drivers permit and I’d like to get my license but my mom sold her junk of a car when it broke down and she is going to buy a 2002 Jetta to replace it…when she buys one i’ll take my drivers test.
4) I’m Still living in Brooklyn Park with my mother’s coworker Ms. Rhonda…so far everything has been great and I’ve actually paid rent finally with my new job. I’m still looking for a bookshelf to create more storage though.
5) I found out when Craig’s Spring Break is: April 26th-May 10th…meaning that my mom can meet Craig and I can move back to Scotland with him in May :D
6) I found really cheap tickets to Scotland on Priceline.com but I don’t want to buy them till I know for sure that Craig will be coming to see me during Spring break and when I know when he wants to go back to the UK.
7) Hamline wants me to figure out a way to pay them their 3000 dollars pretty soon…that on top of my student loans coming out of differment are going to make it hard for me to spend money on anything but bills for a little while. As it has been for months now.
8) I’m still waiting to hear from the universities I applied to in Scotland…I’m moving overseas regardless.
9) In Church I’ve joined an adult group that meets Sunday Nights called Life Group…I told my lifegroup my life story this last Sunday and I think they were a but shocked to hear of what I’d gone through as a child.
10) I’m hoping Craig will be able to stay with me a bit over the summer so we can go up to Elie.
11) I’ve locked myself out of my house so I’m trying to spend a couple of hours at the Library to pass the time till Ms. Rhonda gets home.
12) I have to give Leo Kohorst back his laptop computer so I’ll have to find some money to invest in a new laptop.
13) Currently at the Minnesota Public Library I have discovered that I owe almost one hundred dollars…though I don’t have any books out or overdue. All of the money I owe is from fines I recieved from turning in a set of books I checked out for school 3 weeks late.
14) My cellphone from Christmas has made me happier, I told myself since I went so long without a cellphone I’d not let it become another addiction…but I’m having a hard time keeping that promise. I forgot how convenient a cellphone was.
15) I’ve gotten over my fear of riding alone in taxi cabs. I have to call a taxi cab every morning at 3:20am in order to get to work by 4am, I’d walk but it is winter and cold and I find it hard for me to walk at a consistant pace at 3:00 in the morning. I’ve found that Blue and White Taxi cab company is pretty good…some drivers I’ve begun to like more than others…but all in all they’ve been decent people.
16) My brothers were caught smoking pot…which makes me look better since I never touched the stuff…. lol :D
17) I haven’t had the oppurtunity to get tired of the snow yet this year because I’ve been trying to work so many hours at Target that I’ve not been able to get out and enjoy the snow much…when I’m not working I find myself sleeping the afternoon away. It is days like today that make me happy to be locked out of the house…the weather is nicely and surprisingly warm considering that there is snow on the ground…if I close my eyes and listen I feel like it is Spring already because the birds are out and there is a nice smell in the air. I think I might sit on the bench outside Ms.Rhonda’s house and read when I decide to leave the library and walk home.
18) Craig and I are still in our relationship…though i feel that we’ve been apart for too long and that the distance between us is becoming unhealthy. I find that we’ve been talking less and less recently and I think it spawns from our lack of common interests, our busy schedules, and our lack of new and interesting conversation topics…the weather, movies and sex seem to always be good ones. Any Suggestions?
19) According to Craig’s last blog he will soon be releasing the two Distance No Object Podcast episodes we recorded months ago…this makes me happy, it’s about time.
20) I’m still obsessed with weddings and babies and my future but instead of ranting to Craig about it all I’ve decided to write it all down in a notebook I titled “Future” In which I’ve been planning my wedding, writing baby names and listing all the different things I could see myself buying when I get a place of my own to decorate. I feel that this is more useful and healthy and that with a tool like that Craig won’t get annoyed with me as much.
21) I still owe money to Theta Chi…I plan on sending them 100$ a week till I pay them off.
22) I applied for a credit card…hopefully it won’t do me wrong.
23) My little sister Cynthia is becoming pretty and a young teen and Collin and Caylie Hines my “God” Children who I have watched since they were both in diapers and talking are now doing everything themselves…I’m beginning to feel old.
24) Sometimes I wish I was back in Scotland because I have a terrible craving for alcohol…so I’ve hidden the bottle of Baileys my mom bought me for Christmas at the back of my refrigerator to drink when I’m feeling blue…I wish it was a k2 instead but…times like that will come later.
25) I’ve been trying to workout every night when I’ve gotten home from work…mainly because I watched The Biggest Loser Reality television show and I felt terrible and could see how I could turn out in the future if I didn’t start working out again…I’ve also begun counting my calories…it is much harder than I’ve realized.
26) I’m thinking of doing something different and drastic to my hair without cutting it…I’ll share more on that later.
27) I miss being able to check my facebook everyday and I feel very much out of the loop on current events in the world, I’ve never really been into celebrity gossip and it often sickens me but I’m getting so lost in current events and pop culture that even my little sister is more up to date on the latest music and news…it is embarrassing.
28) My new job has been decent to me but I keep hurting my hands. It makes me feel bad because I love to play the violin and I’ve afraid i’ll get artritis from all the overworking them…I have also been having troubles with my knees but that may just be from the working out on the trendmill every night.
29) I have found a new memory card for my digital camera…ever since I vowed to not take as many pictures I’ve lost my love for photography…reinstalling this memory card makes me remember the good times when I used to capture what made life shine through the capture or refreeze framed shots I used to take…yet I don’t think my rhythm or motivation to take pictures will come back to me until I see Craig again and I am inspired to capture every moment.
30) I have figured out how to use the bathroom scale at Ms. Rhonda’s house…it scares me now.
31) I feel that everyone are my age is losing people that they love…Craig lost his mother, my brother lost his best friend, Fitz Craig’s good friend has just lost his father, a woman at my church just passed away. I really hope that I don’t lose anyone near to me anytime soon…I don’t know how I’d do if I lost my mother now.
32) Even though I haven’t been talking to many people my own age from school I have discovered that most of the people who work at my Target store with me are 20 somethings so i’m starting to create friends in them.
33) I’m looking for a job and an apt for when I move to Scotland. Hopefully I’ll find one before May.
Who?
