Trying to keep my sanity here…
So, I’m apparently a monthly blogger who adores lists and I believe, for now, I’m fine with that. I hope that it eventually will return to my old schedule of blogging everything two weeks and then maybe, at least once a week. I still like having this little bit of internet space.
In the past month, I have worked many hours at Pepe’s (the restaurant I’ve mentioned in the last post) more as the family accountant than carry-out. To be honest, I like the latter more than the first but I have to do the first whether I want to or not. It’s a job and it’s a family job so I can’t really quit. Since I last blogged, this has happened:
1. I attended ElleJay’s wedding and had a blast dancing in a beautiful dress lent to my friend, Elerronyar, with other lolitas (it’s a fashion in Japan!).
2. Kimbereli and I had a farewell dinner for our very good friend, Elerronyar. She has left to Japan for the summer to continue studying the language and have many adventures and is blogging about it here! VBlogs are also in the works to maintain the conversations going.
3. I’m still taking Medical Terminology and realizing how hard it’s going to be to just pass the class which has been my goal from the start. There is so much I have to do this coming Monday for class that I can’t put off any longer. I wish I could my enjoy my day off work but alas, I’ll be hitting the books instead of relaxing on the beach with friends & having a drink.
4. I got a hair cut. It’s much lighter which is perfect for this type of Chicago weather but a part of me wishes it was much more fuller. Oh well, it’s hair so it’ll grow back eventually. Wanna see what I look like? See the right side of your screen and check me out! It’s a DailyBooth picture featuring my hair cut; if you click the picture it’ll take you to a bigger screenshot.
5. In relation to #1, I’m been buying much more lolita clothes. I’ll eventually have to write a post featuring me wearing everything that I’ve purchased from Japan through Elerronyar.
6. I’m employed as an independent contractor (hourly, no benefits, but I can work whatever I want but keep the goal between 30 – 40…) with Ultrasound2You where I work as a patient scheduler. I just survived my first week (42.50 hours ftw!) and it’s the reason that I wasn’t able to finish my blog post from ages ago causing me to miss the month of June >__<. It's hellish but fun. I like my coworkers and enjoy having my own project too even though there is so many batches (of up to 50) to do. The project = FML but can get me extra hours so I'll manage. However, it's making passing #3 difficult...
7. Ever since I've started, I have had no time what so ever to myself for relaxing except at 3:43 AM. I should be in bed because of #8 but I really wanted to get this blog post off my ever growing to do list.
8. After two weeks without seeing each other, I was finally was able to hang out with my boyfriend today (er, yesterday) but will today (July 3rd) for the "Taste of Chicago" (it's our 5th year going!) & on the 4th of July for the Itasca fireworks. I am realizing that this is how it will be especially since my work starts at 8 and the commute is and hour & 1/2 :(. I need to be in bed by 9 to get 8 hours of sleep which rarely happens.
9. Hanging out with Kimbereli is also in the works, I miss that girl too much! She'll be my study buddy on Monday where we'll sit in Panera & enjoy the free wifi, awesome salads, & as always, wonderful conversations.
I hope that I will not go insane. I am right, right?
