Working Girl
I am so happy to finally have a job. Although I am quickly discovering how difficult it is to schedule other things in life around work...definitely not as easy as a work study job. But I like it and it pays decent. And even thought I was originally not thrilled at the thought of working in a deli...I find that I actually enjoy it. All the people I work with are really nice and fun, the pace is fast and work flies by. Before I know it... its the end of the day (and who doesn't like that?!). There is always something to do and I even get to "cook." I put cook in quotation marks because I'm really just mixing pre-packaged ingredients together, heating or frying something. But I like working with food, so the deli is a good fit for me. Although let me just say that the uniform is definitely not the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Today some guy wouldn't stop asking me about my hair net and then told me never to wear it on a date...what an ass! Like I'd wear a hair net on a date!

Good Things
Yesterday I finally had a promising interview with Walmart. It went so well that they asked me to stay for 2 interviews back to back, each time with someone who was higher in management. And then they asked me to come back for a 3rd interview today! I'm so excited and am really hoping that I get this job....and another 1 or 2!!!
Also late yesterday I received an email from Peaceful Acres (a rescue horse farm in Pattersonville that works with women's groups and children in therapy) and they finally "ok"ed me to volunteer!! I'm really excited to be able to be around horses again and the exposure to the unique therapy that they do will be a great experience and an asset to my resume. They want me to come on Saturday to get squared away with times and procedures...so hopefully I'll be working there very soon.
Everything seems to be looking much brighter. I am looking forward to finally being employed...and even if they don't hire me, I'll at least have volunteer work to keep me busy until I do find something. I am really enjoying being home and have made lots of plans with friends to catch up. And I am also excited for a new year..as a SOPHOMORE!!! (can't believe I've already got a year behind me!)... I have a b-e-a-utiful dorm to look forward to, some really interesting classes and of course the exciting Big Apple!Wish me luck!

SUMMER
Then last Thursday Antonio came with me to the Big Apple. I had to take my last EMT test late that night and so I told him I'd take him with, we'd explore the city during the day and then head to Queens in the evening. Tonio had a great time. We walked all over Times Square, visited the King Tut exhibit there (they had his body there...it was sooooo awesome!!!!)m, ate great Italian food at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant we found, played in Central Park and then road the subways everywhere. Those were Antonio's first subway rides...he was disgusted ;)
And then this week has been spent doing lots of yard work, again tackling the kitchen and other little projects. I have been steadily trying to find a job....its not going so well. So if you know anyone who is looking for someone to do house or yard work, I'm the girl to call. I'll do anything at this point.
And other than that, I am just enjoying being home and soaking in some rays.Hope everyone enjoys their long Memorial Day weekend!

3 More Days!
So last night I was packing and then something quite irritating happened. For some reason, the last 2 days, none of our keys have worked to get into the front door. We of course called maintenance and no one came :( so when Marguerrita and I were trying to get rid of all the garbage and recycling we closed the door without bolting the door! We had to wait until 2 am for the RA's to come to the resource center and help us. It was really annoying.
Other than that I have one more test and then I'm home free! YAY!
