I love being home alone during the day. I love being able to watch whatever I want without fear of judgment, bouncing around from room to room, and generally having some me-time all to myself. The moment it gets dark, though, is when everything changes. It’s as if somebody has ratcheted my paranoia up to… Continue reading Day and Night

It’s Been a Year
Yesterday not only had the privilege of being Mother’s Day, but also the one year anniversary of me graduating from college. And may I just say, holy crap, it’s already been a year. What is happening. As you can see, it’s been…a year. A year full of firsts, high points, points as low as… Continue reading It’s Been a Year
Adulting: Money
Money comes, money goes. And sometimes money has to pay for the fact that you didn’t take a turn sharp enough and ended up running into a curb which resulted in a flat tire and your car needing to be realigned. This pretty much ate up most of my paycheck that I just got… Continue reading Adulting: Money
Paycheck
Got my first paycheck the other day. Basically doubled my bank account. This is a good summation of how I felt. It’s now definitely set in: I have a job. I get money for that job. I’m going to keep getting money from that job. I get to either save this money or blow… Continue reading Paycheck
Student Loans
So, I’m a chronic worrier. I worry about a lot of things, most of which I have absolutely no control over. Whether it be the drought out in California or whether or not the world will literally implode today, I have spent days stuck on thinking, “Oh God, what if this happens or that happens… Continue reading Student Loans
Adulting: At the Dentist
First of all, I am DEAD. TIRED. First week of work is done and over with, and I am exhausted. It feels like my eyes are going to fall out of my head and I could just fall asleep anywhere. I’m totally not used to this level of moving around and actually having something to… Continue reading Adulting: At the Dentist
First Day
My last day of volunteering at the library was yesterday. Kind of a surreal feeling, really. I might’ve actually choked up a bit shelving the holds (books people have reserved) and doing the Picklist (finding books to be put on hold) for possibly the last time. I’ve been volunteering for so long now, it’s definitely… Continue reading First Day
Adulting: NEW JOB
Oh yeah. It’s happening. It’s finally, finally happening. After 10 very long months of doing nothing, I am gainfully employed. Starting March 21st, I will be working at the library where I’ve been volunteering at as a page. Basically, I’ll be one of those people you see running around with a cart shelving books, amongst… Continue reading Adulting: NEW JOB
The Waiting Game 2: Paranormal Activity
As you can see, I’m still waiting. I also appear to be possessed by some impatient demon who just REALLY wants to know about this job. But for real, though, it’s been about a week or so, and I am starting to get a little antsy. Like, to the point where I’ve been checking my… Continue reading The Waiting Game 2: Paranormal Activity
The Waiting Game
This is all you really can do when waiting to hear about a job. Wait. And maybe constantly refresh your e-mail, just in case.
