First Week

Hello All,
So last week was my first week of classes. They went pretty well as far as I am concerned and I think I will enjoy most of them. I already have a paper due on the 9th of September so I'll have to get working on that somewhat soon. It will be nice to get back in the swing of things after my summer vacation but right now I'm also wishing I were still doing nothing. I worked yesterday and it was my first day of actual work, although it wasn't exciting in the least. I cleaned a lot of things while I was there and I wrapped a few sandwiches but that was all. I was only there for two hours which sucked because I didn't make any money. Tomorrow I will be going in for four hours which is good, and we'll see how it goes. The people there seem really nice and friendly so I don't think I'm going to have any problems as long as I can remember what goes on all the sandwiches and make them quickly enough. I guess the goal is to have the sandwich to the customer 30 seconds after they order, which is pretty damn quick. I haven't made any actual sandwiches yet but I'm sure I will do that tomorrow. Blah, blah, blah, I know this is really exciting to read.
Well I think I might go for a bike ride. I want to check out the library here in town and it's only about seven blocks away so I might as well take my bike. Hope all is going well for all you readers out there. Take care until next time!

Kitten!

OK, this one is for Katie. Here are some pictures of my awesome kitty, Nermal. He's almost three months old now, and the pictures are mostly from when he was about a month, and yeah, they're freaking adorable. Enjoy!

New Job

Hey Everyone,
I'm happy to say that I start my new job on Wednesday. Today I went in to Jimmy John's to take a test on their menu, and it was super intense. The guy just gave me a blank piece of paper and I basically had to recreate the menu on it. I did fine, although I missed a few things and I don't quite know all the numbers of the subs yet, and he said I could come in on Wednesday. So yay! New job! I'm excited. I hope that it goes well and that I can get a lot of hours.

And school starts tomorrow. Yikes! I don't have any of my books yet because I haven't gotten my loan money but I think it will be fine. I'm definitely ready to start classes again this year but I'm also a bit nervous about being at a new school. I suppose it's not that different from every semester at the U, since I had new people in my classes every semester, but it still feels different. I'm pretty optimistic at this point and I'm sure everything will go just fine.

Some Pictures

Hey Everyone,
Here are a few pictures of my new place. I'm not going to say much because I have a job interview soon, but I am happy to report that I am able to keep my kitten. And, without further adieu, here are the photos.

All Settled In

I finally moved in to my new apartment last weekend. My mom and I drove down together on Friday morning and it took us about 15 hours to get to South Bend. It was a long, long drive and we were very happy when we arrived. While I had packed my car full to the brim, I didn't have any furniture with me except a small bookcase. My mom and I slept on the floor both Friday and Saturday night, and on Sunday we opted to buy an air mattress since I wasn't having any luck finding a regular bed. I think we went to about a hundred garage sales over the weekend and I now have a pretty cool place. We got all the furniture that I absolutely needed, and we also found some cool stuff for my kitchen, not to mention an extremely awesome bicycle.

My mom left Monday night and this has been my first day alone in the apartment. It hasn't been that exciting, I must say, but I did get down the the school and I got registered for classes and figured out some financial aid stuff. I'm having a bit of a dilemma now, however, because I don't know if I can afford to keep my cat. I got the forms today that I need to fill out in order to keep him, and there are a lot of stipulations that need to be fulfilled in order to have a pet. I'm going to try to decide tonight if I will keep him, otherwise I think I will bring him to an adoption shelter that I found in South Bend.

Hopefully I will get some pictures up in the near future. My mom took some while she was here and she should be sending them to me soon, so I will post them as soon as I can. Until next time, ciao.
