Update

So I am just sitting here at Whit's work, The Crepery while she is making some delicious crepes for the people of Logan pondering life. School is almost over, and I definitely have end-of-semesteritis. I just want it to be over. I really am practically done. I do, however, need to write a 5 page paper in my Brazilian Literature class that I haven't started yet. Its due next Friday so I am starting to gather information and trying not to procrastinate it any longer. I am done with all my other projects, so basically I just have to go to my classes this last week to get the points, and then I will take my finals the week after. I only have to take two finals. One in psychology (which I am dreading) and one in my Life Sciences class. That one I should do good in. But my other classes don't have finals. Just the final paper I will work on, and my creative arts class had a final paper but it was only two pages on what I learned this semester in the class. So in all it should be fairly painless. Only half-way painful.

We went and saw Inception again last night in the dollar theater and once again, I was blown away. I have been thinking about it off and on today. It was just as good the second time. I love that movie. We went on a double with my roommate Quiz and Whit's friend Tori.

We are now officially less than a month away and things are starting to get super hectic. But we are on top of things in general. Almost there!

Working man

Wow its been quite some time since I have updated my blog. I guess I have not been as motivated to do it as I have been in the past. I need to get into a better rhythm.

The good news is that I not only started working at the wonderful Kmart, but I also finally heard back from that Allstate guy and I started last night there. I am doing calls to try and get people to give us information for free insurance quotes, and based on the leads that we get, the agents follow up and try to make the sale. I interviewed at a different company for pretty much the same position but he wanted me to call all my friends and relatives and try to get them to get quotes and eventually try and get them to his company. I did plenty of fundraising for baseball and I hate it more than anything. I was not about to do the same thing to help this guy get his work going. So I turned it down. This was early on in the semester. It would have been nice to have been working and making money, but not to call and pester my friends and family about a company that they would never switch to.

This place is about the same but he is already established and I am making calls on an automatic dialer system and its not bad at all. Last night I teamed up with the other girl that was hired with me. I started and actually got someone to give me the needed information, then she came over to my computer and we switched off. By the end, we both finished with 2 each. It was fairly simple. So it will be a good thing I think. At least for the next month to help me save up a little. I work again at Kmart tonight and I hope it goes alright. I am actually kind of stressing about how busy it will get there for the holidays, but I feel pretty comfortable with the system, so it should go pretty well.

Whit is a two job girl now. She not only works at the said company that fired me (haha) but she just started working at a place called The Crepery as a crepe maker. It is a really cool job, and the crepes are so delectable. The place is inside a little house and they share the space with a coffee shop, but she only gets like one little corner of the house. But it is a fun little business. I spent Monday with her while she worked because when its calm she can just relax in the booths. Her bosses are really laid back. So hopefully we can both handle the workload and successfully not fail our classes this semester. I am only worried about my Psychology class. But it should work out. Tonight I have to register for next semester, and I have no idea what to do with my life. I am pretty much completely done with my generals, so its time to pick a major and move on. I just don't know what to do. Its frustrating.

But all in all, life is good. Things are starting to fall into place. We'll see how this goes.

Pumpkin Walk

So I have been a super slacker, but I will post a bunch of pictures from the Pumpkin Walk that we went to this week. These were so cool! They were all made from just using pumpkins. It was super cold and we kinda got a little lost and cold getting back to our car, but in all it was way fun. Enjoy

This is what I learned today in college. :)

Playoffs are in the air

Its crunch time. There are only 4 regular season games left. All of the playoff spots are set, except for the NL West and the NL Wild Card. The Braves currently have a 1 1/2 game lead on the Padres. I am starting to freak out. I'm excited. They better make it.

I LOVE this time of the year!

Western Who?

So in case you didn't know, my last post I talked about my job. I had to remove most of the post. Here's the scoop:

So I got a job at a phone survey place. I went through orientation where I learned about company policies and such. I had to pass a test at the end to make sure I learned what I needed to for the job. Which is funny since I was practically nodding off the entire time.

So I get hired, and go to training the next week. All is well. I ended up working 2 more full days, and then the next day I was scheduled to work. In between my classes, I wrote my last post. I explained about the job, what I did, where I worked etc. After one my next class I got a call from work saying they needed to talk to me. They told me to erase my blog post because it mentioned the company, and they said they had to talk to me when I got to work.

So I get there and talk to the manager or whatever she was, and she brought up again the fact that I mentioned the company in my blog and asked me why I did it. They have a very strict policy that you can't mention the company at all on the internet. I totally forgot about this. So, she told me because of that I couldn't work there anymore. I didn't even say anything negative or malicious but they had to follow their policy and I was fired. So. There's the rest of the story. haha

Needless to say, I am searching for a job once again.

Fun stuff.

Other than that, things are great. We started watching Lost from the beginning. My roommate Logan bought this super intense box set of all six seasons with other gadgets and special stuff. So we are getting everyone hooked on it too. We have nice little parties at our house on our new big screen that we all chipped in for $150. Whit and I will pay the others back so that it will be ours later. Its sweet. We have me, Whit, Logan, Quin aka Quizno, and Logan's friend Kylee. A pretty good crowd. It makes it fun.

We made Sloppy Joes yesterday and I couldn't resist.

Enjoy.
