So, I am successfully moved out of my lovely summer home and into the apartment I will be in for the school year. :)
My new room is pretty small, but SUPER CUTE. I have spruced it up and put all my wonderful things on the walls and so it feels pretty homey even though we have NOTHING in our living room yet and Taylor hasn't even moved in yet.. Oh, and I don't have a bed yet.
Luckily, it is coming tomorrow.
Oh, and our internet isn't installed yet. A fact that never ceases to frustrate me. I just feel so disconnected from the world when I don't have internet!! Its bizarre. But the man is coming to fix that on Tuesday afternoon, hallelujah.
Needless to say, I have been watching a LOT of Facts of Life DVDs. :P
AND I am super pumped because CAROWINDS is Monday. :DDD
And, work is going pretty great. I did the closing duties for dining room allll by myself last night (with a bit of answered questions by my trainer) and I did it all right!! Yay me. AND my trainer, who is a lovely little man who talks really fast, made me take all the orders from customers that came in last night and my fear of cash registers is being overcome!! :D I am getting a lot better at it, and the way he trains me is SUPER helpful because he just lets me do stuff and then critiques as I go along. There are still a lot of things I don't know how to do (like order modification type stuff) and I need to get to know the menu a lot better so I can answer question from customers and increase my speed, but I am certainly getting the hang of it!! And I am also starting to get to know the people at work and that makes life a lot happier. :)
Today has been slightly amazing and hilarious.
I woke up at like 11:30 to a zillion text messages and a phone call from the maintenance man, who wanted to let me know when he is coming to install our washer and dryer. And then I was about to take a shower (my first shower in the new place) when I realized that I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO MAKE THE SHOWER BE A SHOWER AND NOT A BATH. It was so bothersome. I was just walking around the house with no pants on all disgruntled. But I texted Caroline about it and she was able to help me out. :) HOWEVER! I then realized that I HAD NO SHOWER CURTAIN. BAH. So, I was just like SCREW IT and I showered without one.
Then, I got dressed and ready and went to Caribou for like 3 hours and spent some time with the internet and coffee, which is NEVER a bad combination. AND OMG while I was there this guy who looks JUST LIKE the guy who plays Carlos on Desperate Housewives came in and SAT RIGHT NEXT TO ME and my heart was all a-flutter. It was delightful. And he was on his phone for a while SPEAKING SPANISH GAHHHHHHH. Good times indeed.
Then, I went to Lowes to get some screws to put this giant shelf thing together that my dad made for me freshman year. (We have to take it apart to transport it because its so big, but I lost the mofo screws this time.. buh.) And anyway, that worked out and then I went to Walmart to get groceries and a shower curtain but then I got really pissed off upon getting there because that Walmart is SO disorganized I could not even handle it.
SO then I went across town to Target. Got everything I needed, spent way too much money.
Then I went home and put away the groceries and put up the shower curtain and then Caroline got home and we chatted for a bit, and I got out the power drill and began putting together my giant shelf. Caroline heard the noise, came in my room, and her jaw dropped at the sight of me (wearing this giant purple flower on my head) holding a power drill and putting together a giant shelf. Her only words were, "GET IT!"
Then she peaced out and I finished organizing my room, ate some leftover Wendys fries and went BACK to Caribou.. because I just really like the internet.
Life is happy.
I love everyone.
"Hold our cell phones up in the air
& just be glad that we made it here alive;
on a spinning ball in the middle of space,
I love you from your toes to your face."
