What to do at 2am...

I know I should be sleeping right now, but when you have a lot on your mind, sleep sometimes goes by the wayside. Tomorrow - well, later today - I'll be venturing into Downtown Ogden to look for a job. I really should just go to the LDS Employment Center, but I have no clue where it is. Okay, that's a lie, I did go to DI Tuesday night. I didn't bother to look around to see if there was an employment center there; they probably have one. I'm going to take my chances on the bus though. I'm really hoping my UVU student i.d. card/bus pass works up here. I haven't checked if Weber State has a similar bus pass/student i.d. card combo yet. I don't really need either of them right now seeing as my bus pass from UVU is valid till the middle of September. I'll just cross my fingers and bring cash fare just in case.

Here's what is on my plate for tomorrow:
*Eat breakfast
*Shower
*Dig through my stuff to find my dress pants and a not so wrinkled shirt.
...hope I can find one.
*Check the bus schedule online and write down multiple times to take with me.
just in case.
*Walk to the bus stop and hope that there's a stop close to where I need to go.
*Apply for the one job that I know is still hiring.
*Walk around the mall to see if anyone else is hiring.
*Get home, hopefully, before my little brother gets home from school.

I'll probably go looking for the library and check it out. I need to see if Ogden is a well read community. Or just to see if they're library is better than American Fork's. I'll also take some pictures on my new phone. My sister and I are on the same plan and we were able to upgrade our phones. We both got the same smart phone and lucky for me - and you, dear reader - the charger is a USB cord which means I can upload my pictures without an actual digital camera. I'll still purchase a camera some time after my taxes are done, but for now, my phone will work just perfectly. Plus, the camera on my phone has just as many mega pixels as my old camera.
So be excited!

I've also been working on my Year of Expression goals and so far, I've only been cooking. So far my "artistic" expression has been limited to chicken and potato curry and peach cobbler. I am also trying to express my thanks more often when someone does something for me. I need to be better at genuinely thanking people outside my family. Like the nice cashier at Walmart that helped me the other day or the nice cashier at WinCo.

idk.

It seems silly to really REALLY thank the cashier at any store you go to,
but from someone who has been a cashier, it really makes your day when someone genuinely thanks you; without being overly gush-y and creepy, of course. I'll start taking pictures, hopefully, with more regularity now that I live in a city that I've only been to once prior to moving here. Downtown seems pretty nice, so hopefully I'll be able to catch a few nice pictures. I just hope the weather isn't calling for snow in the next week or so.

Anyway, I've only 6 hours before I need to wake up and start my day.
Wish me luck!

I love this. I always try to remember to tell cashiers that I appreciate them.

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

No time

It's been roughly 5 weeks since I last posted anything. Work and school have almost literally sucked the life out of me. My dad and I just got internet at the house, which does make things a lot easier. Even then...I really don't have time to do any real studying. Here's a typical day for me: 7 a.m. alarm goes off. try to wake up. press snooze a couple of times. wouldn't be human if i didn't, right? 7:15 a.m. actually get out of bed 7:20 a.m. shower 7:30 a.m. get dressed for work 7:40 a.m. try to remember to: fill my water bottle grab a can of soup & crackers for lunch grab CNA books & supplies eat something on the way out the door then curse myself for forgetting to grab my smock and name tag. unlock/lock the front door, again. 7:45 a.m. drive to work 8 a.m - 4 p.m work 4 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. take coworker(s) home. 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. CNA class 9:15 p.m. change into pj's. find s...

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]
