Some things

Do you ever get the kind of indigestion where it feels like there’s an animal inside of your stomach trying to claw and chew its way out? I’ve had that for the past couple of days, and my hypochondriac mind has me convinced it’s some type of ultra-ulcer. I don’t really know anything about ulcers or how they feel, but allow myself to diagnose it none the less.

Yesterday I went to see the movie Step Brothers (intellectual, I know!), and 20 mins or so before the end of the movie an employee came in yelling because the entire mall had to be evacuated. There was apparently a fire, or fire alarm or something. I didn’t smell or see anything except 4 or 5 fire trucks outside. They shut down the mall for the rest of the day, meaning I didn’t get to see the end of the movie. They were probably going to let us go again sometime today, but I honestly don’t care that much because I knew how it was going to end. There were funny parts, but it was also definitely really vulgar with some slapstick comedy. I didn’t expect anything less. It was good to get out, even though I went by myself (I don’t think going to the movies alone is sad… I prefer it sometimes).

I haven’t heard anything else about the supposed fire. Maybe there was a grease fire in the food mall or something.

You know how I said I had two interviews? Well, I ended up being accepted to one of the programs—working with the Red Cross in South Bend. I just have to decide if I want to take it. They were only hiring 2 full-time members, so I guess I feel pretty good to have been selected. Also, they said the selection process would take a few weeks, but they sent me the acceptance letter 2 days after I interviewed! I haven’t heard back from the Fort Wayne folks yet, but this isn’t unexpected. I know Renee is waiting on word from them as well, so they will hopefully make up their minds soon (plus the assignment starts in like 5 weeks!).

I went to Ian’s on Saturday night with Meghan. I guess Ian and I are cool again, but I had a crappy time because they just talked about pot (I don’t really care, but it’s boring since I don’t smoke and am not really interested in it). I only stayed for like 1.5 hours, and was only there that long because Meghan kept talking to another dude there so I waited for her. Ian wanted me to come over last night but I didn’t feel like it.

I think I should get some kind of lifetime achievement award for being curmudgeonly. Just sayin’.

My sister and her baby are both doing well. Did I mention she named him Cooper? I kept accidentally calling him Connor, but I think Cooper has more style. Blah, I wanted to post the pic she texted me of him but the website isn’t working. Later.

I’ve been so cranky lately. There are people here who are really getting on my nerves. Oh yeah, and I did end up going to work on Saturday, though 7 or 8 of my coworkers didn’t. Nice. It just made more work for all of us to do, of course. This coming week is technically my last working there (with a week break before graduation), and I have no idea what the staff has scheduled for us. I’ve always wanted to walk to work one day (a little over 4 miles each way), and I think I’ll try that sometime this week just for the experience.

12 more days until I move. It is going quickly but still feels like forever.
