And the wheels go round and round...

Ok, so since this last post, even MORE has happened. (like usual, right?) So, shortly after the last happenings I was told that I was being kicked out of my apartment. Yup. the reason? They feel bad I leave my dog for so long. He's a 10 lb pekingese. Yup. Anyway, so I've been doing my best to find a place, and quick, because I only have til the end of November. Well, we had this lovely thing called the Halloween Noreaster, which toppled tons of snow on us, and left us (and most of MA and CT) without power for about 4 days. (some people had to wait a whole week or so). In spite of that, using my internet resources, I have now been able to acquire a place. It's not in Amherst, but it's only 6 miles from work. Gas is super expensive, so it'll be worth it to live closer. I still have my studio, and I'm still doing karate.

Speaking of studio, the owner of the studio has undertaken a project that will be near downtown Amherst. And guess who's going to help with it? Yup, I have been asked if I'd like to help. Yay! So, hopefully that will be going on soon. Also, I have 1 1/4 paintings done. Will be working on 1 3/4 of them tomorrow. Using my studio time, I have also ordered my manuscript completely, and now I am just waiting to hear from the small publisher on if I am a finalist or not. If I'm not, then I'll just have to save up and go with plan A.

Let's see... what else... I had a ton of things to talk about this morning, but not quite sure what those were now...

Well, I got my tires changed today, got my dad his birthday present today. And lucky I checked my schedule for BBW last night, because I had a shift today I wouldn't have known about unless I did. Phew. So, that means I have an official off day tomorrow. I'm going to sleep a lot. :) And then work out and go to karate. My legs are feeling it from yesterday.

Note of the day: Spooning leads to forking.

Anime of the day: Kobato (super sweet and uber cute)

White Cinnamon Frapuccino

Updates: so, I landed the job w/Starbucks, and will be starting off as a barista, and then they will try to get me up to shift supervisor soon enough. And I still have my other job, so I just work that one saturdays. So, now I'll be working full time, yay!

I've been trying to get back into writing for my manuscript, and it's been going well. I think I have around like 50? poems now...

I do kind of miss school, but I've also been enjoying this brief period of being laid back. So, even though some things were challenging, it was like a mini-vacation. (A really cold, snowy one, though...)

Anime I'm currently watching: Blood+, Kimi ni Todoke season 2, Starry Sky, Yumekui Merry
I got finished with REC, Working!!, Paranoia Agent, Spice and Wolf


I've been working out a lot more (like 1 hr 3x a week), but, I haven't really been eating all that well, so... no progress, lol.

I got a button that says "OMG! A DOUBLE RAINBOW!" and another that says "DO NOT WANT". Now I'm just wondering what to put them on.

So yeah, that's it for now....

Falling Away to Amhertz

Well, as far as work goes, I will be working at AoP until the 28. My boss is being a child about it, so she's not really talking to me. Hasn't been for the past 2 weeks and probably won't for the rest of the month. Whatever. Anyway, so the drive to Mass will start Sept 1 and we'll prolly arrive on the night of the next day. Then, school starts on the 7th, and i have to take a spanish test that day, then a math test on the 13. No roomies so far, but hopefully someone will turn out soon. I have the apartment all set and ready to go :) Financial Aid however, is a much slower process with much bureaucracy. Eugh. I'm starting to pack, starting with my clothes, and trying to see how I can fit everything basically in my trunk. (My mom will be on passenger side, and two dogs w/booster will take up one seat) I still have to call the bow wow place and see if they will hold a spot for me to be hired.

Trying to hang out w/all the rest of the tomball ppl b4 they all go off to their designated colleges. The only one I will see during the year will be Alexandria cuz she'll be in Cambridge. (2.5 hrs away) The other good thing about UMass is that it's 4 hrs away from my cousins (on my dad's side) who I never get to see. And also, it's the exact distance from tomball-corpus is amherst-philadelphia. Can't wait for some cheesesteaks! The only thing is... they all like fish up there. I can't stand fish. Bleh.

I think i already blogged abt this, but during first week they have all the expos for clubs and a concert with We The Kings (for UMass students only) :) Well, it's a busy busy time, but it's all exciting and I can't wait!
