Hello everyone.
Gosh, I know, I know, shoot me now. I'm so horrible. Some big things have happened since I last posted and I didn't even share them on the blog! Honestly, I've had like, no time at all for this thing. It sucks too, because I can already see that finding time once school starts is going to be a pain in the butt. I'll manage though; just because I love this thing so much.
I thought I should share some good news with you.
Last Tuesday I went into town with my little brother, Aaron, and we ventured into MC Sports to get a water bottle (which I love and have been using a lot since I bought it). As we were checking out, something was wrong with some guy's card a couple people in front of us, which made us all have to wait a little longer. It's a good thing too! Aaron looked over and he saw this big sign that said they were hiring. So when we finally got up to the cashier, I asked for an application. When I got home, I filled it out, and then Thursday, two days later, I handed it in on my way to pay for my housing fees. In less than an hour, the guy I had talked to in the store gave me a call to set up a time for an interview. I called him back and had an interview the next day (Friday). I am so happy that it went as well as it did. I am praying I get the job. The location and the things I'd be doing there, along with the small number of hours I'd be working would be perfect for me.
The other big thing that's happened is that I paid off all my housing fees. A whopping $2074.50 which left me with absolutely no money, but it's all out of the way and I didn't have to sign up for a payment plan or take out any sort of loan. Paying it off put me in the clear to move in yesterday. I got up at 6:45 a.m. and got ready to leave, then I loaded up the very last of the things in my room into my car, and I was off to meet my mother at the Carp Lake Store. She followed me to Petoskey where we checked in, and I got my keys and my card, and then we backed my car up to the building and unloaded everything into my room, which is *thankfully* on the first floor! After she left I had time to put everything away and get everything organized. I even met a few people. Everyone was really nice, and I had a lot of fun. After Jasmine (my roommate) and I were finished with out room, we took off to Walmart to buy some food. When we finished there, we drove back to the dorms, dropped our things off, and I went out to my grandma's house for my Aunt Sandi's 50th birthday celebration. We all had spaghetti and meatballs, watermelon, and cake and ice cream. I had a really nice time. After I arrived back at the dorms from my grandma's house, I finished putting up the last of my wall decorations and hung out with Jasmine and some new people I met up until it was time for bed, at like, 2:00 in the morning.
So. Now that you're all caught up on that, we can continue to move forward with all my new college experiences and anything else that might be of interest to me in the forthcoming months.
I have a special post coming just for college students freshly moving into their dorm room. So, be on the lookout for that!
