Normal-ish

As much as I would like to say that for the past month I've been doing something amazing, like traveling across the country or painting some world changing painting, I haven't been. I have been doing nothing actually.Well, not nothing nothing. I've gone to class, looked for and obtained a job, went on a vacation with my mom, and had a successful birthday. But, honestly, I haven't done too much other than that.

I guess I've been trying to lay low. I think I've just been out of it lately since I haven't had a job. It's hard to maintain a scheduled and balanced life when you go to class for an hour or two and then have nothing to do the rest of the day. It gets to the point where all the dishes are clean and the clothes are folded and then the only thing you have to do all day is watch re-runs of Grey's Anatomy (I finished that, now I'm working on Desperate Housewives).

So, here's the break down of the month of March. The first two weeks of March was pretty much just classes. Cory introduced me to a new game called Rift. If y'all like WOW, then you'll like this too. Then, the week of Spring Break, my mom and I went to New Orleans. We stayed in a really nice hotel right on Bourbon Street. We spent a few days there shopping and doing the normal tourist type things. We ate at Cafe du Monde every day. They seriously have the best hot chocolate I have EVER had. You'll really have to get some if you ever go there. We took a horse and buggy ride. We ate at a really nice restaurant, you know, the kind that has the white table cloths and serves you water in the really nice glass goblets. It really was amazing and super yummy. Finally we had to come back. I spent a few more days at home, got together with Sam one of those days, then headed back.

Once back, I started my job search but not before having a mental knock-out drag-down war with my roommate. When I returned home from my trip, I found my once nicely, perfectly decorated living room turned into a place that looked like no one cared about it. My decorations had been removed and shoved in a closet. My kitchen utensils had been shoved into cupboards leaving objects broken. Needless to say, we had words. Nothing horrible or anything, at least on my behalf. However, when I left, I called my mother and let her know exactly how I was feeling. The next day, I removed everything from the living room and kitchen that's mine, including the TV that her and her friends were in the middle of watching. Life since has been a little topsy tervy. I've been staying with Cory until I can find someone to take over my lease or until it runs out. But I think I just might pay the money to have my name put on a list so I have a higher chance of my lease being taken over. But, until then, I will live a topsy tervy lifestyle.

After uprooting my life, I started my job search. I had three interviews and then got a job. Today was my first day. It's at Hastings as a Batista and cashier. I'm pretty excited about it. But, before I started, it was another week of school. I took a test and went to class. Then, I got sick. I was so panicked that I was sick and I was supposed to be starting my job in just a few days. Luckily, the bug passed before I started. And now, life is back to normal-ish. I mean, when you're starting a job, nothing is all that normal until you get the hang of everything.

So now, my life is normal-ish. I'm ready for the summer and the somewhat break that I'll get. But this is where my life has been the past month.
