How...

How have I only updated twice this year??

It's not like I've been busy or anything.

I guess I should do a little recap of my life since the beginning of January.

At the end of January I finished my philosophy class. I recieved an A in the class (yay!), and even though I hated the essay writing, I really did enjoy the class. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I changed my minor from Journalism to Philosophy.

Then I had a little two week break off of school, and during this time I found a new job. The new job was at a restaurant called Etouffee, and I was hired as an assistant server. They opened at the end of February, but business was slow from the very beginning. Last Wednesday I got laid off because they weren't getting enough business.

So the job hunt is still on.

I'm kind of pissed about losing the job because we were required to wear nice clothing, kind of like the kind of clothing one might wear to a club or something. Because I don't really own clothes like that I went out and dropped $120 on two outfits. So now I've got to try to sell them on ebay or something.

In mid-February school started again. School is BORING. If I don't get all A's, it'll be because my classes were too easy so I slacked off.

Since mid-February, nothing special has happened.

Hamlet started and finished puppy school, and he passed his CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test just two weeks ago. I was proud =).

Along with me losing my job this week, my mom also lost her job. Yes, the driving school finally went out of business.

I've been feeling really stressed the past few days, because with both of us without jobs how are we going to pay for anything!?

Mom isn't stressed though. She went today to go take this state test so she can be an office technician. If she gets hired by the state she will have good pay, benefits, and paid vacation. She seems to think that she will be hired, but what if she doesn't??

Stress, stress, stress.

Not only that, but I've recently decided that I really would like to study abroad my last year of college (which would be the 09-10 year).

Which brings me to more stress.

Financial aid should cover the vast majority of my expenses, including tuition and other fees. But I still need a job to save up money for airfare, living expenses, etc.

Where I want to study abroad is in the UK. But the universities that are apart of my school's study abroad program do not offer a Communications major. So I would have to study primarily my minor and GE courses. Which means that over the next year I will need to complete all of my major requirements. And added up they are equal to 14 classes!

So I will be very, very busy over the next year.

Tonight I am going to see the play "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" on campus. 

And tomorrow I am spending the day with my dad.

And hopefully Best Buy will call me back with a job offer on Monday... I went in for an interview yesterday!
