Graduation is slowly but surely approaching in May. I'm starting to get worried. I have always planned and planned and planned for each semester and my entire life....up until May 19, 2012. I really don't know what to do with myself! Everyone I know is getting jobs after graduation and starting their careers. I don't want to do that. I feel like I've been so responsible my whole life, I kind of want to take a break.
What I really want to do is to travel around Europe for a while. That does take money though. Working at VS is not going to help me get to Europe. That being said, I have been looking for a 2nd/new job. I'm hoping to get a job that can get me 30 hours per week and that would be willing to work with my current job.
I applied at Pier 1 and they gave me a call today. I have an interview there on Monday at 2:30! I hope I get it! I'm nervous though because 1) I haven't really interviewed for a job in 3.5 years and 2) I don't really want to leave my current job, but I'm just not making enough money there so I'm nervous to tell them that I'm job hunting and if I do get the job, I'm REALLY afraid to tell my managers about that! I suppose we. shall. see.
If I do get a second job, I will be able to save a lot more while paying a good chunk on my credit card AND still being able to live without being broke 3 days after payday. That would be wonderful! :D
I'm a little stressed about school because I procrastinated too much. My boyfriend and I celebrated Valentine's Day on Sunday because we won't be seeing each other on the actual day. Basically my attention was all on him all weekend, so I didn't do much homework or studying.
Ok, work tomorrow at 6am. Off to bed!

Things are going great :)!
I have paid off one of my credit cards so now I can focus on paying the other one off (yipee...)
I've lost a few lbs. It's taking a lot of time, but it's happening, slowly but surely. I just started a new blog to track my weight loss so I'm hoping that it will help me stay motivated! I'm definitely having a hard time because I've changed my diet almost completely, I haven't had any soda this year at all, I've been going to the gym constantly and I'm stuck at the same weight for the last few weeks. Not sure what else I can do except keep trying and take it up a notch at the gym maybe. My weight loss blog is here.
Me and my boyfriend are doing great. I've never been with such a fantastic guy. I am a little tired of the hours of video games, but I'm learning to cope with it and just do my own thing or try to have fun with it.
Getting a little tired of work giving me shitty hours, but this week I got the full amount I can get at least. However, the last 2 weeks of low hours means my paycheck shall be super laaaame. But what can you do? (*cough* find another job *cough*)
School this semester is going to be a cinch. I only have 2 classes, back to back, every Tuesday and Thursday. School takes up a whopping 6 hours of my week. SO AMAZING. I have a feeling the end of this semester is just going to sneak up on me and that's ok with me!
Overall, things are going great! :)

been over a year...
It's been over a year since I posted anything substantial.
I'm very stressed about money right now. In fact, I don't think I've ever been this stressed about money in my entire life. I just had to empty my entire savings account to pay for a new timing belt, water pump, and alternator belt for my car. I already paid $500 for a plane ticket to go to my friend's wedding in Texas next month, and have to save up about another $500 for food, hotel, airport parking, etc. I don't know where I'm going to come up with that money. I'm starting to think about cancelling the trip completely, but that's only if I can get my money back for the plane tickets. Otherwise, I'm going because I'm definitely not wasting a $500 ticket. My ex. owes me $600 but he's slacking on getting it back to me. He said he should get it back to me before I go to Texas, but he also said over summer that he would get it to me before August. So I'll believe it when I see it. Which stinks because I REALLY need that money.
I'm down to $40 til payday which is still a week and a half away, I still need another tank of gas for next week, I need to celebrate my best friend's 21st birthday somehow (probably going to buy her 1 drink and just end up being sober the rest of the night because I can't even afford a drink for myself). Plus I have to make a credit card payment somewhere in there AND I'm adding about $200 to what's already on the credit card for the timing belt.
I'm so stressed I don't even know what to do with myself. There just isn't enough money and I've been getting a low amount of hours at work the past couple weeks. Luckily, I got a temporary lead position for Holiday, but it doesn't start until the first week of November. Last time I did the position I ended up getting 40 hrs/week + a $1 pay raise. Since then the company has changed their policy so "part time" associates can only get a max of 20 hours a week. This means I won't be getting 40 hours a week over holiday, but hopefully I'll still get the dollar raise for the season.
Hopefully things will look up money-wise soon.
In other news, I've gained about 25-30 lbs in the last 6 months. I don't know why. I think once Rein and I started dating, my diet took a nose dive, also I changed birth control. I've been trying to run 2 miles a day 5 times a week but it isn't doing anything. I'm going to keep trying though, I guess. I'm also supposed to start going to this 30 minute ab workout class 2 times a week with 2 of my friends but they both bailed on me both times last week so we haven't done it at all yet. I'm too nervous to go by myself the first time. I need to though. Have to take initiative.
I want to get down to 160 and I'm at 200 right now. (UGH I've never been 200 in my entire life...) This is going to take months. :(
I suppose things can only go up from here?

Do you expect me?
To keep from crawling back.
Do you accept me?
When we both know my past.
Am I keeping safe distance?
Pushing you arms length away?
Am I keeping safe distance?
Oh, it's you that feels betrayed.
Are you there, can someone answer me?
Come where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer.
Closer, closer, closer.
I know you're out there somewhere.
Come where I can see.
Closer, closer, closer to me.

Come and go now as you please
Your actions write the melodies
To those songs that we sing
And you just sing
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And my world still turns when you're not around
Is this the way you want it?
Is this the way it has to be?
Sitting here beside you
When my heart's lost in New Orleans
Dreams come clever
Hearts now severed
Difference of forever
And I am lost there
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And my world still turns when you're not around
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And my world still turns when you're not around
And I finally found that all
Your actions write the melodies
To the songs that we sing
Your actions write the melodies
To the songs that we sing
And you just sing along out loud, yea
Come and go now as you please
Your actions write the melodies
To those songs that we sing
And you just sing
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And the world still turns when you're not around
And I finally found that life goes on without you
And the world still turns when you're not around
And I finally found that all
Your actions write the melodies
