I think it's time for an update...

Though, actually there isn't much to update. I'm still waiting on the newspaper. They contacted me on Monday and said that I'm at the top of their hiring list, but he's still talking to management and they are taking awhile. So, hopefully, I'll have something to hear in a couple days (according to the editor). Here's hoping I'll hear something soon.

In the mean time, I'm looking into some freelance jobs to help tide me over. GetaFreelancer.com is not being so kind to me, but I'm going to keep trying and hopefully I can get something. It just sucks that all the work is around $2.25-$30 an article. The last time I did freelance they paid around $100. I guess the depression has hit freelancers bad...

Eh, so that's about it. No new boyfriends. (Though there is a definite interest...) I'll let you guys know about any new changes. ^_^

i left my milkshake in the yard...

Ah! I get e-mails about this blog all the time but I'm so bad at checking my new e-mail account. Still a little attached to the JBU one. I'm sure that will pass soon...

Thought I'd catch up on the goings-on and update as well. Currently working a temp job, the same one Carly (and her mom) are working, plus it's the same thing I did last summer. Testing satellite phones and whatnot. Won't last too much longer, but at least the pay is very good. Also, during spring break I had sent out about 25 resumes and cover letters to various companies/galleries looking for internships. I got a call back from one within a week, a gallery in Tysons Corner (DC) looking for interns for the summer. Went in for an interview this past Tuesday, and I got the job! This place is SOOOOO amazing and such a good fit for me.

It's a gallery for mostly sculpture and glass works, which I'll admit is not my forte, but I am excited and am planning to soak up all the information I can! As an intern they want me to do all the standard interny things, like looking after the gallery when they can't be there, and since they do all their own promotion, they want to have me help with their leaflets and books, as well as updating their website (www.habatatgalleries.com). Since they cater to collectors and do custom installations as well, they want to work me into the sales arena as well. Also, they're very nice (and interesting) people, and much younger then I expected.

Sherrie and Bre need to come and do this internship with me! Heck, Kristen should come too, she'd probably love this place. LOL

The only unfortunate part is that it's unpaid and an hour and a half commute, for which I'll have to leave an hour or so more ahead of time thanks to the god-awful Washington traffic. Though they said that if after three or four months they liked me and my work, they'd consider giving me a paying job. If so I'd move to DC, if not I'd stay where I am and start looking for something in the area so I can pay off my loans. Unless any of you have suggestions... :D

New Place

So its been a while since I wrote here so here is whats up with my crazy life....

I am moving into a new apartment that is much more affordable than my current residence. It is newly renonvated and I am the first one to live there after the renovation. So everything is new and pretty clean except the toilet. The renovation guys ruined it by dumping their crap down the toilet. Sooo new toilet for me! I am slowly moving my things over there and trying to unpack it as I go so when the parental units come to help move the big stuff, that is all we really have to do. This apartment complex has a pool, gym, hot tub, breakfast three days a week, lots of community activities and it is located next to Benidictine University. Very very nice area.

On the Aunt and Uncle front...I think they officially hate my guts right now. I am not sure if they thought I was joking about the pay cut and unable to afford to live here any more. I haven't talked to them in about a week and not sure if I will for a long time. The drama...............

I hope to see Star Trek next Thursday with my Bible study group. I am stoked to see this movie. I never grew up with Star Trek, but this movie looks awesome!!!!! And then there is Wolverine, Angels and Demons, Terminator, among others that will come out this summer that I wants to see real bad!

Other than the move and well inventory at work, life is good.

Liar, Liar Pants on Fire

Another quality conversation with Drew ... as a little bit of background, we've started hanging out since he got back so he knows about the wonderful recent events of my life (yes you can detect sarcasm as per usual). We're also leaving this quality place about the same time. He's just going a few thousand miles further than I am.

Drew: Hey I was thinking about having you train 3 to 4 times a week till you leave so I don't have to pick up anyone new.
Me: That's cool. I have nothing else to do now, might as well live at the gym.
Drew: The gym is a good place to be, it will never lie to you.
Me: Can't say that about any boys I know.
Drew: I can't really say that about anyone I know.
Me: Haha, fair enough.

A bit of hope

I called the Korea Times today and I should find out about the job on Friday. They are still talking about the position with management so hopefully I'll have some good news. I spent all morning freaking out about it until I talked to the copyeditor coordinator on the phone today. Then I felt bad because I had spent the last hour at a coffee shop and didn't know that he had already emailed me in response to the email I sent this morning.

So this means I just need to email the hiring manager at Berlitz and explain what's going on. I suppose I can still go meet with him this week if he wants. I hoping things will work out soon so I can quit wasting his time. I know he'll try to put me in as soon as he can so I don't want to push his kindness too far.

But yea, I'm finally starting to get answers, hopefully, so the job thing will be cleared up soon. Now I just need to work on the boy thing. Things have gotten a little interesting since this weekend...but I'll report on that later when I have something more to say... ; )
