hey, remember me?

HI! so post graduation life is stressful and busy!

First, Alex & I vacationed to Florida for a week--which was a blast!

Then, I found a job working for Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic...
Then, I found ANOTHER job working for Avenue.

Yay, 2 jobs is...a lot of fun? :| I'm excited to be working and making money to pay bills like a real person. Hopefully it'll get narrowed down to 1 soon. Avenue wants to make me the Assistant Manager but I haven't been presented the offer yet as far as salary goes.

Alex & I signed a lease on our first house together on Monday and the house is ours as of Friday! Moving isn't too fun but I'm so excited to have such an amazing house with such an amazing man :)

My mom's having surgery next week. I hope everything goes smoothly and she's up and running again in no time with minimal back and hip pain. Surgery can be a scary thing and it's even scarier knowing I can't be there to take care of her as much as I would like with living an hour away and working 2 jobs, but I'll do what I can! Love you Mom.

pitty party for 1, please

howdy! so i've had a terrible, awful, no good, very bad week so far...and it's only Tuesday! lol...oh well.

everything bad has been happening, so i know good things are coming my way soon.

on Sunday we had a short rehearsal before my theatre performance...apparently there was a screw sticking up out of the floor that gashed my leg open & i bled everywhere...fun

on Monday i got hit by a lady pulling out of an ordering stall at Sonic. then when i got home with my food, i smashed my toe underneath a leg of my bed.

today i realized a local establishment charged my credit card with an amount that is not mine AND the lovely ladies who were supposed to be taking over my apartment lease backed out. backed out 4 days before they were supposed to move in.

so fun, fun, fun! hopefully this just means i'm gonna ace all my last finals and have an awesome graduation and move. and maybe, just maybe, get a stellar job after Alex and i vacation!

anyway, i can't change the things that have happened so far this week, but i will keep smiling and hope that it ends well :)

1 week till graduation!

i graduate next saturday!!! i'm super excited, but i don't think i'll realize i'm done with school until it's the end of august when i would normally head back for the fall semester. well, and hopefully by that time i'll have some super cool, awesome, fantastic job.

i'm really excited to move in with my best friend & my wonderful dog :)

threats

so, if you haven't heard...

yesterday there were signs found in the early morning hours around campus and at my apartment complex. they read as follows:

"10 people will be shot & killed today at -----" -at my apartment complex
"a shooting will occur today and students will DIE" -on campus

i found out about the threats on my way to my first class at 9:30 when my best friend called me. i got a chill and my eyes started to tear. you can only imagine looking over your shoulder every where you go.

the threats were made on the 2nd anniversary of virginia tech and apparently monday marks the anniversary of columbine. scary.

what bothered me most about this was besides the police, rangers, fbi, etc that were swarming the school, i seemed to be the only one concerned. people in my classes were saying things like "oh please, there were threats made every day at my high school." okay, well i've never been anywhere where there was a threat..and HELLO, it's a THREAT!

i'm very glad to be alive. and i'm very glad for my friends and family. i love you all!

so far they've had a couple of leads, but found nothing. i hope they can confirm it was a prank soon so i can rest easy. i don't want any tragedies. AND i'm only 29 days from graduation. now i can't wish to get out of here fast enough!

keep me in your prayers.

hippity hoppity, easter's on it's way

so i'm really excited to head back to my homes wednesday. i say homes because i'm spending the weekdays at my mom's and weekend at alex's. the agenda? well...

• relaxing
• probably packing some things up from my mom's either to sell in a garage sale or move over to alex's
• dog races on thursday...haven't been since i've been legal
• nick time
• sunday brunch with my family & alex -which includes game time!
• i'd really like to dye some eggs :)

it's going to be a nice week. hopefully i won't spend too much time thinking about all the work that lies ahead when i return. lots of projects and finals and work. i've put together a women's health awareness week for april 20-24 and now the psych club would like me to organize a violence awareness event for the proceeding week. i decided i'd make a really great event coordinator. what do you think?

i'm going to be one of those people who really appreciates their job; whatever it is. i'm not the type of person to do work that i'm not proud of. i'm just curious as to where the chips will really fall. as of today, pr people usually start out making around $52,000. if i'm just an administrative assistant, i'd make around $30,000, but if i specialize in public affairs or human resources they generally make $56,000. if i'm a pr manager, they make $82,000, directors make on average $126,000 & executives bank about $170,000! i know i'll have to start at the bottom and work my way up the ladder, but in the end i'd really like to own my own pr firm. we'll see i guess.

anyway, happy early easter! i hope the easter bunny brings you lots of good things.

here's to another fabulous weekend!

so alex & dakota just left. which means I'M left to work and prepare for class this week. actually, i can't really call it a week because i just have one class tomorrow and 4 on tuesday, then i'm off for easter until next tuesday!

so we had a fun weekend. went bowling, went to the park several times, played with the dog, played frisbee & ps2 games, went to see a play, and rented 2 awesome movies. a very fun-filled weekend i'd say :)

41 days until i graduate...and move in with him! & 54 days until vacation! then...we'll see what the real world has in store for me...yikes :| lol

i only have 10 days of class left....ever. wow, i apparently like to count things :) it may not be ever. i was discussing with alex yesterday that i'd go to grad school if my job wanted me to/wanted to pay for it. i'd honestly like to have my masters or phd, but i don't think i would voluntarily stick around for more school right now. we'll see. my name with a "dr" in front if it would be very exciting! but then again, i don't need a doctorate for public relations.

anyway, it was a very relaxing weekend. i'm always sad to see them go though. but in 41 days neither of us will have to see the other go. now that's a nice thought :)

long time, no speak!

well hello there! today was the first day of my last semester of school. ever. it's really hard to imagine. actually, i don't have classes till tomorrow, but i had auditions today for theatre and they were so much fun! call backs are tomorrow & i have my fingers crossed!!

so christmas and new years was amazing. alex is the best boyfriend! i got everything i could ever ask for ..including a LOVELY diamond ring for our one year anniversary. but of course, it's not about the presents. i got to spend a lot of time with the people i love. i got to spend a week with alex's family and i took trips to san marcos, san antonio and san angelo...HA, the "sans"! i didn't get a lot accomplished, but that's okay. i relaxed and enjoyed every minute of it.

((i hope i get cast!!!))
