Rejection

Turned down from a school I didn't really care about.  Not too broken up about it.  Especially since I didn't exactly put my best into the interview.  Three more months until I hear from my number one.  Then I can plan my life.

Silly Tuesday, why are you so busy?

Cat sitting isn't fun when you can't find the house.  At least my kitten is safely stored in the basement for people that are coming over to give him kibble.

I got my hair cut today for the first time since the summer.  And it feels glorious.  As an added benefit, I no longer look like a hobo.

One of my work friends decided to have game night, which meant I was playing games with two friends and three of their friends.  Hello wine...

Kittenface is riled up because he's been in the basement most of the day.  Poor little boy.  Hopefully he keeps his pointy claws and teeth to himself.

One month.

Boyfriend is gone until after New Years.  Now it's just me and catface.  Sadly today was my last day off until January 6th.  In the plus side, I am drastically cutting my hours at the lab on the 13th because I was offered a position teaching next semester.  It's a bit of a pay cut, but I'll also have to work about half as many hours, which is exciting.  I'm a little bit nervous because I've never taught before, and I'll only be about six years older than the students.  Hopefully they aren't too much trouble.  Plus I have about a month to get the syllabus ready and prepare for class.

At least I remember to feed the cat.

I'm curious as to when I am going to get my life figured out.  It seems as though I can only do one thing at a time.  Reflecting on my recent past, that thing is not taking care of myself, taking care of my house, taking care of my bank account, taking care to do my homework, or taking care of boyfriend.

Did I miss November?

Don't get me wrong, I think the Salvation Army is great.  Every year I donate some of my modest funds to the volunteers that are out there ringing bells in the dead of winter.  That being said, is it just me, or is their bell ringing starting a little early this year?  I saw someone out with a bucket, bell, and santa hat the other week....the first week of November.  Just like the Christmas music that has already started to take over my life, I feel like this Christmas tradition is starting a little early.

One more month

This past week I had an interview at my first choice school.  Hopefully it went well.  I won't find out until March, but I've already started looking at apartment ads.  Clearly I'm finished with this town and ready to move on to the next.  I have to get through one more month of school first, however.  Still, I'm one step closer to where I want to be!

So it's been a while

Here's a quick run down of current events in my life.


Awesome:
New kitten. I was accepted to medical school.  I graduate with my MPH in a little over a month.  


No so awesome:
(Almost) everyone at my job decided to go crazy.  


In related news, I've applied for a few different jobs.  I feel a little bad about getting a new job when I know I'm moving in seven-ish months, but I really don't care, because my current job makes me sad.  


Anyway, I thought I would get back into writing on here so that I have something to do besides sleep on the couch all afternoon.
