  • I've been gone a while.

    I think I'll start updating again. It generally provides a good procrastination technique during school.

    These past couple weeks have been crazy. Considering I'm going to school in Joplin and have no real home here, and am driving back to Springfield every weekend to work, I have been sleeping on the living room floor at David's parent's (he's still there, but only til Monday when he will go back to GU). After that, I'll be on the floor of Beth and Steven's apartment until a) we decide we're staying there and I move my bed over or b) we find another place to live and I move my bed over. They would really like to find something closer to Pitt, like on the north side of Joplin or in Webb City, which would be fine with me to be in either one of those places because they aren't terribly far from MSSU. The only reason they're not moving to Pittsburgh is because they're both working in Joplin.

    Well, I'm still working in Springfield so that's not really an issue. Which brings me to my next point: I'm about to start a massive job search. I am thoroughly ticked off at Joplin Kohl's, who has decided not to rehire me for a short list of unpersuasive reasons that I won't bore you with. I just think it's ridiculous that they "fired" me in the first place when I told them I was taking a leave of absence, so I had to go through the rehire process, which included taking another drug test (which is on the far south side of Joplin and the trip was a complete waste of gas) and filling out another application, which isn't terribly hard but still takes up a lot of time, esp. considering Kohl's has a very long application. I'm just very frustrated at this point and have decided that someone on the management staff plain and simply doesn't like me (for whatever reason) and I have no desire to work for someone who doesn't respect me.

    In short, pray for my house/job hunting. I hate doing these things during school and wish I would have started during the summer.

  • Coming out of the Dark...

    My life is turning around. I've taken initiative to give myself some purpose. I've been volunteering with the childrens at church - a wonderful experience, if you like kids. I am going to start singing again soon in Alabaster. I have been kind of just a "replacement" since there are 2 women in the band, however, I no longer want to care. I want to give my voice to God and no longer worry about sounding "perfect" - I just want to use my talents to His glory.

    Aside from volunteering, I joined http://www.43things.com. It has given me a place to set goals and actually work toward achieving them. I never was much of a goal setter, but after being turned on to this site I have realized how much giving yourself a purpose really does contribute to your overall happiness level. I'm also eating better and getting back into the bible.

    So while I still don't know what I'm doing next semester or, let alone, next year, I am having a better summer. I'm also learning to love myself - I never thought this was possible.

    My dad gave me the book, "The Power of Positive Thinking" when I graduated high school. I thought it was cliche and irrelevant, but I'm learning that sometimes an "I can change myself" mindset is worth it.
