Ive been getting a lot of views via Libby Anne's
Survivor Blogs list, and I wanted to greet them cheerily.
Also, I wanted to update seeing how long its been since I have posted a cheery, upbeat southern greeting.
Seriously, my accent is getting worse because I am waitressing now and I have been told multiple times that customers will get offended if called "guys" (as in "hey, guys, what drinks can I start you off with this evening?" or "How are you guys doing?").
I am finding that waitressing involves a lot more walking and working and the money and hours are never guaranteed. Its hard and tiring and wearing me out.
College classes begin the 15th, and I am very excited for this third semester. While I did win the scholarship, it does not cover books, so I have been saving up for those as well.
Thankfully I am learning how to balance between renting and buying to save as much $$ as I can (considering that buying them from the bookstore runs around $800 a semester!) and I worked myself to death this week and made $400 for them. (yay!)
Since it has been hot and muggy out I have not had any severe issues with depression or lashing out emotionally. I have been stressed a lot with work and being physically worn out, but I know it is only for the time being and I am looking forward to beginning classes again. I feel like I am in my element when I do that and it really makes me happy.
Also, I have been saving up money for a kitty. I am a cat-lover and I have not had one since I left home. It does something for me that nothing else does. I have been biding my time, saving up for the apartment pet deposit, and looking for the perfect ball of fluff to fall head over heels in love with. I know it will happen and I have been wanting it more and more now that I have a little place of my own.
Life is as life does.
I keep plugging on.
Its my tenacity. I will survive and conquer and look down at those who have tried to hurt me and laugh.
..........maybe?
