Good News

My daycare job search has gone surprisingly well. My interview with Youthland Academy went really well, but since they would only be able to offer me part time if they hired me, I went to apply at Symmes Twp Kindercare. I had worked there 2 summers ago, but only for about a month, so I didn't expect them to remember me. However, when I walked in, they did remember me, seemed happy to see me, and were hiring summer help! So I filled out an application this past Friday, and yesterday they called and told me they wanted to hire me for the summer! So I have a bunch of papers to fill out now, I have a couple doctor appointments to go through to be tested for TB, and I have to go through another fingerprinting ordeal (last time it took about ten times longer than it should have - apparently I'd be a good criminal because my fingerprints are extremely hard to take). But if I can get that all done in the next couple weeks I'll be ready to start, and my two summer jobs will be set - Kindercare during the week, Kroger on the weekends. Yay getting out of debt and getting a new laptop!

Safely Home

After many misadventures concerning my apparent car jinx, I made it safely home, in my car, in one piece! For a few days, whether or not that would happen was questionable [my car broke down in Corydon IN two weekends ago, they cleaned the battery and I picked it up Tuesday, only to have it break down in the middle of the Lloyd Expressway when I tried to leave Evansville again. CarX fixed it for real, and it runs wonderfully now. It should also be noted that while this was going on, Phyl had trouble with his car battery, my mom got a flat tire on her way to pick me up, and Sunny, Bree and I witnessed two car accidents in as many days].

Now that I am home, I am trying my very hardest to find a summer daycare job - I know there is one out there somewhere! I picked up applications for two different places yesterday, and I have high hopes, because one specifically said they were possibly looking to hire summer help - that's me! The applications are mostly filled out, just waiting to hear back from references, so those will be turned in today or Monday. And then interviews next week? I can hope. In the meantime, I'll be starting back at Kroger the week after next. Oh, Kroger.

Fresh Start!

I have a tendency to start journaling or blogging and then forget to write, and then the journal or blog dies a slow, painful death. After a while, I want to start blogging again, but it's hard to pick up an old blog so many months (or years) later - I feel compelled to fill my readers (even if that means just me) in on everything that's happened, which is quite a large task, so that first entry gets put off, and I never actually start blogging again.

So, here I am. Brand new blog, brand new journal, whatever we shall call it. I feel like it's a good time for it - heading in to the summer before senior year, having said goodbye to dear friends, and generally feeling like I'm about to embark on a big adventure (namely, life). Let's hope it continues feeling like a big adventure!
