I have been soooo busy lately. And by the time I'm not busy I'm too tired to really do anything but lay in my bed like a zombie. I've been working a lot and can I just say, it seems soooooo not worth it by the end of the day. Only making $8 an hour really bites. I do a lot of work, work a lot of hours and I still barely break $350 every pay check. A person can not pay the bills on that kinda money!! It just doesn't work. :(
So, because of a certain direction my life is looking at taking (can't tell you guys, sorry!) I'm thinking I need to start looking for a new job. I really need to make more money. There are a lot of receptionist type jobs out there and I've seen them posting $10-$15 an hour!!! I WANT ONE OF THOSE JOBS!! I know I should just apply but part of me feels so intimidated. What if I suck? I don't want to fail out and then have NO job. It's not that I don't realistically think that I could do it (it's just receptionist work, not brain surgery) I just have that little doubt bug in me that says 'why leave security for the unknown?" I really feel bored in my current job. I'm very very good at it and my managers love me, but i just don't like standing for 8 hours non stop with no breaks. It just seems really sucky.
Lets see......yeah. I'm really not feeling well, and my room is a mess and BUGGING ME so I'm gonna sign off. Sorry it's so short. :)

So, today I have been dutifully working my butt into the ground on homework. I've been staring at the computer for so long and so intensly that I had a MAJOR headache. XD I don't know why I feel like making myself suffer by going above and beyond on all my projects in my graphic design class but the minimum standard is soooo low that I can't help but feel sickened at the thought of only reaching that. So, here I am, suffering for my art. Maybe I can cut off my ear and after I die I'll be famous!
My bike has finally made it down here! It was such a beautiful day that I really wanted to just go riding but, I did actually make myself sit here and study and do homework! Yay for determination, boo for missing out on a very lovely day of bike riding.
Ummmm, my boyfriend Tiler went and got the new Final Fantasy game today. I here really good things about it and he was very excited. I want to play a little bit, but I'm really not into video games. Not because I don't want to be but because I suck SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO badly at them. I can't even drive my character in a straight line let alone shoot other people in a game. *sigh* I do like RPG's though. I've got to say that the legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has to be one of the most epic games ever created and I love everything about it. Well, except for the really crappy graphics.... I wish they would just remake the game exactly like it was but with the graphics they had for the new Wii Zelda game.
So that's really all I have for today. My head hurts to bad to keep on typing so this is me signing off!
So today I got to experience life as a non-automobile owner. Tiler borrowed my car today (he's bringing my bike up to me! Yay!!) As much as I didn't like how time consuming it was really relaxing not to have to drive with all of the crazies zooming around here in Provo. I don't know if it's because there are so many college students or what but they are SCARY!!! I just put my ipod in and listened to a book tape.
I'm listening to Tamora Pierce's Protector of the small series. These are wonderful! They're great for a well written and enjoyable read. In fact, every book she's written, that's I've read, are absolutely fantastic. The reader for the book tape does a really good job, which I appreciate because a bad reader can RUIN a book. (P.S. Don't listen to Madeline L'Engle on book tape XP She totally ruined her books by reading them herself.) I was listening to Squire today which is the.....third book? I'm pretty sure it's the third. And I think they're great!
Today I was watching several nutrition videos on youtube and they counted down some of the worst food you could eat.....which only made me crave them. So here I am eating a doughnut, drinking soda and munching on popcorn!! YAY!!!
So anyway, now that I'm back on topic, today I spent all day walking around town. I went to the D.I and Macey's. I then proceeded to carry all my groceries, including my doughnut and soda X3, it took me 2 hours to do these two errands! But like I said, this experience was refreshingly less stressful then driving around and looking for a parking spot. I think once my bike gets up here I'll do it more often.
I also ate at Rancherito today for the first time. I really didn't think I would ever eat there but I was walking by and their crispy bean and cheese burrito add caught my eye. When I bought them I was thinking they were going to be little but these things were HUGEEE!!! It was a pleasant surprise and the burritos were surprisingly good.
I have really been considering getting and 88 eye shadow pallet from coastal scents. If you don't know what this is it's a very nice quality eyeshadow set with 88 different colors. It's surprisingly affordable, well sorta, and I'm really lusting after this thing. However, I'm poorer than dirt right now and I can't just drop $20 on make-up. However, I do need to find a better foundation and cover up. By the end of the day I look like my face has melted off. XD
Hmmm.......so.... I really feel like I'm out of things to say. I think for my next post I'm gonna put down books that I've read and loved! I'm a book addict and I like everything from picture books to historical fiction.
