Now the Real Fun Begins
Jun. 5th, 2007 10:32 amSince it's summer, of course things change by the millisecond, so here's the quick rundown --
- My little sister and my cousin beat Lego Star Wars before I did. Granted, there's one level we can't play because the disc or something freezes up (I swear, we have a Super Nintendo that you can run over with a bulldozer and it still works, but if you breathe wrong on these new consoles, they spaz out like Marilyn Bauer), but still, I'm irritated.
- The whole town (all thirty of us - no joke) is going to be scrubbed down and put on our best behavior for the county commissioners and twelve of their friends coming for lunch tomorrow. I guess it's some tourism and travel committee that wants to see all the places of interest and since we're on the Pony Express Trail, we get to feed them. The best part: they'll be eating at our cook house on our ranch, so today will be spent making the cook house look presentable for the highest dignitaries that we'll ever be honored to entertain (on the bright side: any excuse for a barbecue ^_^)
- I preordered my "Deathly Hallows" yesterday. Yes, I am a procrastinator, but as long as I get there early for a wristband, who notices?
- Oh, and one minor, small, insignificant note from yesterday -- I got a JOB!! I'm a Quality Control Editor for an online university in Salt Lake and it PAYS!! (I'm not going to say how much because I feel a little weird bragging about the exact amount -- but I don't feel weird bragging about that I get that much... yeah, that made no sense). Though, after bills and expenses, it probably really isn't that much, especially since I'm going to be apartment hunting soon and housing in the big city is not cheap, not to mention food and gas and car payments. Oh well, welcome to adulthood ^_^
- On the subject of housing, I'm moving in with my sister for the rest of the summer until her roommates come back from summer vacation. She lives up by the U, which is where I wanted to be so I could go to a student ward (as opposed to a singles ward - trust me, there is a BIG difference). It'll be a little strange since I'm not very close with my sister, but she was nice enough to say yes. And she works at night and I'll be working during the day, so it's not like we'll see a lot of each other (I need to ask her if she has internet in her apartment. I think she does, but better to check).
- This arrangement is only temporary anyway. I still need to go apartment hunting for when school starts in September. I still haven't come to terms with the fact that I'm not going back to school in the fall. I still feel like I'm on summer vacation and I need to get my books and fees paid and all that fun stuff. It probably won't hit me until everyone else starts going back.
And that's my life. It's not terribly exciting, but I feel like talking about it.
