NO WAY!
Let me tell you something, no better feeling for a person that experiences nothing but BAD LUCK to FINALLY have things start working out/falling into place.
Now I know why thy call it "falling into place". Cuz it just does that. Hard to explain, yet easy to understand when it happens to you.
I also know I’ve said this before, and have been COMPLETELY wrong; as in, I completely jinxed things falling into place. As in…I speak too soon and it doesn’t happen.
BUT MY OUTLOOK ON LIFE HAS CHANGED! It is possible.
So WHY am I suddenly on cloud 9 and actually able to get through a day without crying?
1) Living situation–so, quite impulsively, yet am getting a great deal, moved into a house with four other girls close to my age. Haven’t really talked to them a WHOLE lot; have met a couple but haven’t hung out with them. So last night, I get home from work at around 11 pm. I walk up to the middle floor, and am greeted with a HUGE hug by one of my roommates who I haven’t met yet, Ellen. And she’s wasted. Even better. 🙂 Ashley, the girl who showed me the house, was awake as well. I can tell her and Ellen are pretty good friends. Anyway, I sat up and chit chatted with them for awhile. It felt…great. And not to toot my own horn, but forgot how cool I was. Haha. I am a pretty chill, cool girl. I just had forgotten because I haven’t had social interaction in SO long. They are also both very cool. It’s refreshing!
2) Gym/Working Out–Have seen specials for a $10 gym membership around Big City. Yeah, right! Big City is like the most EXPENSIVE place to even breathe; let alone, live. I’ve heard the normal gym membership averages to be about $70 a month. Well, went and checked out this "special deal"–and hot damn, they were right. It’s ALL inclusive, personal training, tanning, and this place is HUGE–for $20 a month. I’m uber excited. Like to the point where I look forward to working out, knowing the awesome deal that I’m getting. Plus, I’m white as a ghost so this tanning thing shall help. 🙂 I’ve had two great days of working out, ran five miles, and on Monday I did this 30 minute workout station that they have! SO PERFECT! If I ever have those days where I can’t fit in a full workout, or don’t have time, or just want to squeeze something extra in, that will be AWESOME. In fact, I’m sitting here right now excited to go work out! Haha, which I’m going in about an hour. 🙂
3) Job opportunities–Knowing that my dream MLB job isn’t going to get me anywhere as far as income, I decided to look around for some part-time jobs. I noticed this very cool/popular tourist attraction in Big City was hiring…the problem with applying for jobs like those, is so do thousands of others, ESPECIALLY when the ad is on Craigslist! HOWEVER, that’s exactly how the MLB job was–thousands had applied, and they only hired 180. I was one of those 180. So I must have done something right, lol. Anyway, applied for a marketing position at this place…and got a call last night. I haven’t actually talked to her yet, but she left a message while I was at my other job. I called her back at around 4:45 pm (offices open until 5) so didn’t get ahold of her; she said they would be open at 8:30 am this morning so if she doesn’t call, will definitely call her before I go work out! That would be AWESOME to get another job. I don’t care if I’m busy, I do so much better in life when I’m busy anyway! Plus I’ll be making BANK!
4) My current job–Has been going great. So far, I’ve been lucky in working with the people that also work there. They are all very cool. Whenever I work with someone, they tell my boss, "I love working with her". LOL I wonder if my boss is kind of sick of hearing it. :/ Again, not to brag, but after going through what I’ve been through the last year, being taken for granted, losing my job, all my friends, going broke–it’s nice to finally get a little appreciation. Cuz dammit, I am a cool chick! LOL. (Self assurance)
STILL have some things to figure out; for instance:
*am still kinda broke
*have student loans in default
*have no furniture in my room
*need to buy my boyfriend a college grad present
*am on the hunt to lose like 15 pounds…
Ha…But taking the good with the bad. About two months ago…wanted to die.
Feel like I should talk about Osama…don’t really want to. Although, LET ME SEE THOSE DEAD PICS!!! Hahaha 🙂
My family is coming this weekend to move my stuff. I need SOOOOOO much of it! :/ Ugh should have packed way more. I feel bad that I’m not there to help move all this crap. Love my parents. I don’t deserve them.
***UPDATE!!!***
I’m getting in the worst habit of writing entries, and then not finishing them and/or posting them. I hate to delete everything and start over, so here goes. 🙂
Update on the #3 from above (Job Opportunities!)–I actually did speak with someone from the corporate office! And I have an interview Friday! Craziness! However, am a LITTLE skeptical…they called me REALLY quick and it sounded a little bit fishy. Like that whole College Pro Painters and the knives ordeal thing. I mean, I know for a fact this tourist attraction isn’t fishy in the least bit; I’ve been there b
efore and it’s incredibly popular worldwide. However, hope it’s not one of those jobs where they just hire anyone…ironically, that’s kind of what the MLB team does..but for goodness sakes, it’s still working for an MLB team LOL.
Well, I do have a lot more to say but maybe I’ll post later. I’m actually thinking I’m going to sleep for another hour…then get up and get my day started. LOL.
Have a great day everyone!
Much love,
-Elle.
