Right. So it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? lol. Just settling into my new position, trying not to spend money unless I have to, and keeping up with Project 365. I’ve been posting at Starstruck, if you’re interested in following that. I can’t wait to see it at the end of the year. I’m looking forward to that immensely.

Work is all right. This week was mad slow but slow is good because I got settled into my new position. While I know everything and everybody (unlike my co-lead, she has my sympathy and I’m gonna help her out as best as I can), it’s still odd to me that I am where I am. Next week will be a true test of my abilities. A huge tradeshow is here. We’ll see how it goes.

School starts next week. I can’t believe how it’s creeped up on me like that, haha. My last semester! I mean, granted, I have to pass the classes but they’re all decent classes that I know I can get good grades in. I know I’ve been saying that for months but I like that little shadow of a doubt. I like proving people – and myself – wrong. I think it’s a Virgo thing, haha.

Speaking of proving people wrong, my co-workers think I won’t jump off the Stratosphere when the Sky Jump opens this year. One of them said he’d come along just to goad me, “She won’t do it. She’s got the harness on, but she ain’t jumping!” I’m doing it just to say I’m did it. Life’s too short.

Also, if I can swing it, I want to spend some of my spring break in Nor Cal with my friends. They’re planning to come down for my graduation in May, but I don’t wanna wait that long to get together with them. Just waiting for my vacation to kick in again so I can plan accordingly.

But tonight was also a little heartbreaking for me. Last night, my best friend gave me a call. She asked if I could buy her and her mom some food. She has been on unemployment for a year, as job hunting has been awful for her. She’s sort of picky too, and I hope she doesn’t mind me saying so. She’s implied it as much. She won’t work in fast food. But a job is a job right? They ran out of money for this week as her unemployment doesn’t kick in for another few days.

I made plans to take her grocery shopping tonight after work, which we did. Just enough to get them by for a few days until she can get her unemployment money this week. I had to dip into my savings but that’s okay. I get paid on Friday, and I have some money coming in from MySurvey and Amazon. I mean, I couldn’t say no. Besides the fact I wouldn’t. She really doesn’t have anyone else to count on.

I’m trying to get her into the business center but I haven’t heard anything about a new position opening up yet. But I’m gonna try my hardest. She needs something, anything at this point. *crosses fingers*
