I am very happy about many things, both significant and petty, but extremely poor air quality in my home is causing headaches, constant sneezing, and slurred trains of thought, so please excuse anything I say that is odd, poorly thought out, or deleterious in design.
I am very happy that I got something resembling a full time job. For 10 weeks starting on September 12th, I'll be working as a receptionist and having a really cheap place to live. The job is at the Health Services desk at MCTI, the very school I went to to acquire the Customer Service skills in the first place. All the while I'm encouraged look for employment elsewhere in the meanwhile.
About that, the really cheap place to live is part of some apartment building funded by government money, and so I'm getting a great deal. By great deal, I mean the rent is 310 dollars/month, and this includes all utilities included, including phone and cable internet, and the use of an air conditioner, and the apartment includes a side-by-side fridge, a microwave, an electric stove-oven. It has two bedrooms w/ beds, and dressers.
And plus, the greatest thing about having my own place: I finally get privacy. I've always had to share my living space with someone else, my entire life. That pissed me off to no end, but now that's over, even if only for a little while. I don't have to share my space or time with anyone, that's the best thing.
Plus, living in the area enables me to pay for the weekly free food drop. $1 a week, and a local charity organization offers some food to the locals for free. Just whatever they happen to have, and you can grab as much as you'd like, sans cost besides the initial $1 investment. No guarantees on the variety, so it can be anything from cakes and other nice things one week, and nothing but heads of lettuce the next.
I finished my camp mentoring, and got quite a lot of money in the process, I just need to wait for the checks to roll in and I'm set for a little while. I'm also glad that I'd made such good impressions with all my coworkers and superiors.
What do I intend on using that money for? Buying my very first laptop, all for me.
I'm sad that I won't be seeing alot of my graduating MCTI friends anymore, but I'm glad to continue my time with those ones that are staying as well.
I'm glad that I've discovered the incredible wit, humor, and charm of James Thurber. I haven't laughed this sincerely, and this hard at a book in such a long time.
I'm glad that I throw a few dollars at buying two 15 card booster packs for the latest MtG set, M12. Out of the very first pack I open, I get a Chandra, the Firebrand. That is outstandingly lucky, and I got to use it against my Magic playing friends later that day. It was awesome.
So yeah, I've had quite a few nice weeks, I'm happy to tell you all.
