Lazy Days....but I didn't ask to be sick!

The last few afternoons have been completely lazy.  Part of me is still worried about getting another job, but the other part has no desire to do anything.

Today, I came home from work sick.  Caught some sort of stomach bug.  I haven't really felt good all day.  Hope it's just a short term ordeal.  I hate the flu.

On the other hand, I'm very glad it's Friday!

Empy Once Again

Once again, my room is empty of everything except me and my belongings.  I have no idea where this year went, but I'm grateful for the changes about to take place.

This afternoon, Megan and I are apartment hunting again.  We're hoping to narrow our choices down, so that around July we can pick a place.  

This evening, Jonathan and I are going to a goodbye party for a co-worker of his.  Then a bonfire tonight where I'll get to see JULIE AND RJ!!!  I'm very excited.

Tomorrow the families will be here.  Comissioning service in the afternoon, open house in the evening with Julie.

Sunday we'll go to the early service at church, get some brunch, and head to the Pavillion.  Graduation will be in the afternoon...and then I hope just chilling after that.  Families are heading back on Monday.

And hopefully Monday, I'll be moving to my other dorm on campus.  Are you tired from reading my upcoming events list?  I sure am!

Pizza, Movies, and Studying

Today was entitled "Reading Day" on the calendar.  However, I'm not sure why, because a lot of students here just use it as a day to do fun stuff.

Lots happened today for me.  Went to work, where they had a luncheon in  honor of my graduation.  My HR co-workers bought me this beautiful necklace, and I received another willow tree angel.  It was wonderful.

After that, I came back home and watched "My Little Ponies" with my roommate.  It was great.

Looked for jobs online, though didn't have much success.  I just don't know what I'm looking for...and don't want to start a job and then just quit at the end of the summer.  Hoping something just falls into my lap.

Next, went to the library with a friend for some studying. Just got back from that a while ago.

Ordered a pizza, and I'm waiting for my roommate to get home from work.  From here on out it's pizza, movies, and studying for us.  Should be great fun.

Finally

According to the tracking, my clothes got here Friday afternoon.  After I'd checked my mailbox twice before leaving for the weekend.  Grrr.

Anyways, 2 out of 3 isn't bad.  The red shirt wasn't as cool as it looked online.  Probably going to try to send it back.

In other news, I had a great time in western NE for Isaac's high school graduation.  Definitely a little different than my own high school graduation.  His had over a hundred graduates, with about 7 valedictorian/salutatorian speeches.  I'm sure other people have experienced this, but I had not.

It was great to see Jonathan's family...even the little ones.  Overall, a great weekend.  And no crazy happenings while traveling, which is good.

I'm planning on making a sandwich, then studying for my one and only test.  Music History, you are so going down.

Update

So, I'm sure you all care a lot about the status of my new clothes. Due to my own negligence, they'll be coming later than expected. I put in the wrong billing address for my credit card, and it was declined.

Got it straightened out, but it'll be 7 to 10 more days from today rather than Sunday. Dangit.

Online Shopping

I just got a new clothing catalog today, which was bad news for my bank account. I probably wouldn't have been so tempted if I hadn't spent all afternoon trying on clothes at the mall, but finding nothing.

My purchases include:


My goal was to find a shirt that would go with my new suit coat. Not sure if the red one will work or not, but I thought it was really cute. I also wanted to find a dress to wear for graduation. I like both of these dresses, and if they end up being too short due to my unusually long torso, then I'll have to find some leggings or something. Hope they come soon!

I wanted to buy more, but added up all of my "wants" and got sticker shock. Might have to spread it out gradually. I need to stock up on some decent clothes so I'll have dressy things to wear next fall during student teaching. Professional clothing is hard to find.
