Randomness, randomness, everywhere
Today makes 3 months that I’ve been blogging. This is post #101. I’ve had a blast blogging, I love it and I love getting to know so many other bloggers… y’all are so much fun. However, I’ve been blogging daily for the past 3 months and I think that in order to not completely wear myself out, I’m going to start giving myself a day off from blogging every week. I think from now on I’m not going to post on Saturdays, unless I have something that can’t wait. Knowing me, I’ll have an excuse every Saturday, but that’s my goal.
I mentioned this on my Flickr already – on Monday I was so excited about getting a new job because I thought that meant I was closer to finally getting my dSLR. However, I just learned that, due to an unfortunately large gap (6 weeks) between my last paycheck from my old job and my first paycheck at my new job, I’m going to have to dip into savings in order to pay bills during that time. Which is okay because that’s why I have savings and I’m proud of myself for being responsible enough to be prepared… but at the same time that pushes back my purchase date. I’m thinking it won’t be until mid-October at the earliest.. and even then, that might be wishful thinking, as I think I might still be a few hundred dollars short. Major bummer but when I finally get my dSLR, it’ll be all the more sweeter. Or so I’ve been told.
My situation at the gym changed as of last week and I’ve been meaning to write about it but I haven’t had time. First of all, my useless trainer quit, which kind of worked out well… and I got to know another trainer who seems nice. However, remember how I signed up for only 1x a month? Yeah that really means only 1 training session a month, and all the times the trainers have been working with me, they didn’t realize what I had signed up for… so basically they were accidentally training me for free. It’s all good though, they’ll still tell me what machines to do, etc… but I won’t have one-on-one training time until the beginning of each month. Unless cute trainer decides to be nice, and I think he will be, whenever he has time.
I’m getting excited because in a week from tomorrow, I’m traveling to Oregon for a cousin’s wedding. I haven’t been there since I was a kid and I’m looking forward to all the photo opportunities it will bring. I had been hoping to bring a new dSLR with me but I think my dad will let me borrow his occasionally (hopefully) so that’s a start. I’d really like to go to the coast but it’s a long drive and I’m not sure if anyone will go with me, or if there will be time.
The day after I return from Oregon, I start right up at work at my new job, which means summer is over – wow it flew by. I’m getting nervous about school starting up again – in fact, I was getting nervous about the job again today… well, until I saw the kindergarten classrooms. Wow, they are beautiful. I have never seen a more gorgeous classroom – it was colorful, HUGE and already had a lot of supplies. I will definitely have to take pictures of it once I “move in”. I think this will be a good year, I hope… I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t get into a school district close to home, which would have offered me more perks and benefits (and money, sniffle), but there’s always next year, if need be. My mom is still bugging me, I think she’s hoping a better school will come a-calling but she’s dreaming.
Meanwhile, it looks like I’ll be living with my parents through the school year. Financially, it makes sense – if I stay with them I can save/pay off debt (hello, you can’t beat $100 rent!) while if I move out, I’ll be struggling to make ends meet again. I’m okay with it though, it’s not too bad… so far.
Frick this got long. Sorry. If you made it through the whole post, go treat yourself to a cookie. :)
