THE SEMESTER FROM HELL IS OVER.
I think I did well on my finals, but I'm aware that there's nothing I can do about it now. Mom came up the last day of finals and we went to Cape May, NJ for a week. We've been going there for roughly 15 years and I absolutely love it. It is the nation's oldest sea resort and is rife with Victoriana. Also, the city has strict business ordinances so there are no chain stores and restaurants in the entire town. It gives a nice calm, family atmosphere. No chintzy boardwalk or nasty-ass beach sluts walking around. Everything is upscale and gorgeous. During my stay I saw 7 baby sand sharks, 2 sting rays, and 2 horseshoe crabs on the beach. I also got pretty tipsy with my mom at a nightclub watching an Australian Celtic band...awesome.
After a seriously relaxing and delicious vacation, I packed up my bags and drove to Scranton. I moved in Friday and Saturday morning we went to Baltimore for a fun Saturday of sightseeing and a baseball game. The day was gorgeous and the company was even more so :D. Sunday we drove home and cuddled during a movie. And today was my first day as an official resident of Apartment 4. Well...not official, official; but it's the first non-weekend day I've spent here with no intention of going anywhere else. I kissed Cody goodbye as he went to work, I got dressed in my closet, confidently drove around Scranton without getting lost once, spent some me-time at Borders, and went grocery shopping for us. It felt wonderful buying things I knew Cody would enjoy and would make our apartment feel more like a home. I love laying on the couch with our kitty and making dinner with Cody. It's poifect.
On a not so awesome note, all of the 50894752 places I applied to seem to think that summer hiring should only start in June. So here I am in the middle of May without employment. Which sucks. I should be starting at Specter's office this week, so here's to hoping that he wins this election. I feel bad for Joe Sestak because if he was running against almost anyone else I would support him. I wish he was running against Casey...talk about a weiner. He and I are ideological mates; but I'm selfish and want this internship reallllll hard. So...here's to not knowing how to feel about tomorrow's election. I just want to get into a routine of work that fulfills me and puts some dollaz in my bank account.
Fingers crossed!
WHOOT for finding fun things for your apartment! And I must go to NJ to this place, because it sounds right up my alley. :D
ReplyDeleteSorry though that you have to wait until June to get a job. It's really surprising though, I got a job at J. Crew almost immidately. Scranton must have a stick up it's ass. No offense.
Hopefully, you get this internship/other work.
