Just don't know what to do

So hey I have been in Houston for ten days now. I was remonded of that this morning. Unfortunetly I still don't have a job. Rent A Center called me though today and I'm supposed to have an interview next week. I have put in applications at over 15 places. Its been a week now and thats the only call that I've recieved. Now say I get one of these jobs and it pays really good. Do I give up the Americorp thing to stay here and work and make money. I know its good to do volunteer work but its also good to make money right. Especially considering that I have a lot of debt right now. Hmm hopefully when the time comes it will all be clear to me. I talked to Justine the other day and she lives pretty near to me. We're supposed to get together and have lunch some time. Anyways its supposed to rain next week. I really hope it doesn't cause if it does it'll make it a little hard to get to my interview. Well I guess I will write more laters...

Finally in Houston

Ok so I have finally made it to H-Town. I have been all over the neighborhood where I now live putting in applications. I need to find work for at least a month or so. The position with Americorp that I was hoepfully going to start this month isn't gonna happen until October at least. There wasn't enough time to get me into training and everything. The next training session isn't until October. Anyways so now I am here and just working on getting a job. I swear I have applied everywhere. But hopefully it'll come up with a good job or two. I have nothing to do right now might as well work as much as possible. There is nothing to do in the house so I might as well get out and about.

I went to one of Marcie's cousins bridal shower today. It was fun. The food was good. It was really nice to see the entire family. Anyways other than that life is as usual boring. Hopefully it will pick up soon. Laters...

Nothing New

Well not much has been happening. I have just been working the video store so my dad and Nora could get other stuff done. I'm beginning to wonder about this interview. It hasn't happened yet. So I'm not sure whats going on. Hopefully I'll get a call today.

The only interesting thing that I have done is Saturday night I went to College Station. I went to the Bourbon Street Bar. I saw Johnny Cat do his piano bar thing. It was really good and it was awesome to see him. Cory was the drummer. I didn't recognize him at first. He cut all his hair off. It looks really good. In fact he looks really good. I was just so happy to see everybody. John played Stray Cat Strut for me. I love that song. I really like his piano bar routine.

When I got there I noticed he was playing on a baby grand. I thought "thats nice he no longer has to carry around his keyboard. WRONG. I just about died laughing. He has an old piano body and he places his keyboard in it. It was so funny when he pulled the keyboard out. He has to take the legs off the body to get it in and out of doors. Anyways thats it for now. More laters...

A life less Ordinary

Ok so that's a lie. My life is completely ordinary right now. I have not gotten to go out or do anything really since arrival at home. I have however been working at the video store. We have been trying to get the place straightened up. Its a hell of a lot of work. But it is looking better every single day. We are almost done with the DVD'S. Now we have to work on the videos and there's so many of them. Anyways I have to be getting there shortly. I still don't know when my interview is. I do know however that I am moving to Houston on Friday. Woo-hoo. This will all work out I know it will. Just have to give it time and space. Anyways I guess I'll let you go. Anna and Daniel I love you guys...

I'm HOME!!!!

So after a long, grueling, boring ride I am finally home. Well I guess I've been here for a little over 12 hours. So anyways I didn't go do karaoke last night. Tooo tired. So I stayed in last night and watched Y Tu Mama Tambien. It has Diego Luna in it. I think he is too adorable. He's also in the Terminal, Open Range, and Dirty Dancing Havana Nights. The movie was just short of being a porn. It was a little strange. Not the worst movie though. Anyways but I am home now. If you need to call me try the cell but I'm in the country and it probably won't work. So call me at home the # is 979-826-8698. Anyways I'll write more laters...

My Little Life...

So I am down to 2 days until my daddy gets here. I am so excited. I get to go home. Then I'm gonna move to Houston. I'm supposed to be having a phone interview right now for an Americorp position in Houston. He hasn't called me yet though. I'll give him a little while longer and then I'll give him a call.

So Daniel asked me to help him pain this apartment today. At least I think we are. We might just bemoving his futon. But whatever it'll be worth it just to see him. I haven't seen him or Anna in oh I'd say about 3 weeks. Thats really too long for people that live in the same town as each other. So hopefully this is a position that I can get. If I get it I hope I like it. So anyways other than that everything is going along just swimmingly.

Oh yeah I forget. Eddie actually came up and apologized to me Monday night. I was very taken aback. Anyways he invited me to go to the movies with him and Z. I invited Steve to come along too. Steve is too adorable. I was talking to Kristen the other night and I was telling her about Steve. I was like he is one of those kinds of guys that deserves the best. He won't just settle. He doesn't have to. He is sooooo nice to everyone. He has confidence. High self-esteem. He is just your all around great guy. If there were one reason to stay in Lubbock it would be if he asked me out. Because man I could so go for him. HE's just one of those guys you know. He really is a "Prince Charming".

So anyways enough about the virtues of Steve. There are a lot of people that I will miss here in Lubbock. But I do plan on coming back and hopefully they will still be here. I really wish that guy would call. This is a little nerve wracking rating on someone to call. I really hope this is a good position. I just hope I get it. 7 more minutes until 3:30. At that point I will stop sitting here waiting. I will call him. I know he told me today. Alright well thats enought worrying for now. Write laters...

Ok so now it is 7:30 and I am off of work. I had quite a suprise. I went into the office and started talking to my manager James. He apparently was quite suprised that I was there. Someone told him that I had quit. He won't say who but they told him that I had said "I Quit". So anyways after that little mess was cleared up I got to work. 2 more days till my daddy gets here.

So I had that phone interview. Apparently the guy thought that it was set for 3:30 and he was fixing to call me. We had a nice chat. He asked me questions obviously. He said he has a place where he thinks that I will fit right in. He's setting up another interview with the program that he wants to stick me in. Hopefully it all works out. He said that we are running a very tight fit here. Its seems that I have to attend some training class first. Makes sense doesn't it. I have to go to this class before I start work. If I can't get into the one at the end of August then I have to wait for October. Then I would have to find a job for 2 months. Oh goodness. Anyways he is trying to work out everything that he can. So hopefully it all goes over smoothly...

Yippee Skippee

So instead of flying home on the 12th my dad is coming to get me on the 6th. Now I don't have to put my stuff in storage. That is so awesome. I am so happy. I think I'm gonna go live with Aunt Susie for awhile. She asked me too and I think I can find a better job in Houston than I could in little bitty old Hempstead or Waller. I am so excited. I am ready to go home and take a break from it all. I think I want to work at Lane Bryant. I searched and there are four within 10 miles of Susie's. The best part is is that if I do work there I get 40% off of any merchandise I buy. I love Lane Bryant they have the best clothes. Its expensive but its good. So anyways I am busy packing stuff. I have nothing better to do right now so I am packing, packing, packing...

Right now all the jobs I applied for are waiting on my references. I don't think that I will take the one in Brockton, Mass. They really want you to have a car and there's no way I can have one by September. I have way too many bills. For one I have two back accounts to maintain. I have a sears card, and a lane bryant card. I have a cell phone bill. Plus until someone takes over my apartment for me I have to pay the rent on it. This is crazy. I don't make enough money for all this. How did I get in so far over my head.

I applied to Houston Community College. I don't really know what I was thinking, but I figure I can take classes there because I still have a whole bunch of basics that I can take. I was looking at my Blinn transcript and at Blinn I never had lower than a C. Here at Tech I have grades of the entire spectrum. So maybe instead of taking off completley I will take some classes there. Plus I can get a Associates in Sociology. Then I'll come back and get my Bachelor of Sociology. Then after that hopefully my Masters of Sociology. Then I can teach at any junior college I want. That is a great idea. Hell maybe I won't even make it back to Tech. Maybe I will go to U of H or A&M. Who knows.

I am so excited to go home. This is going to be awesome. Anyways more laters...
