Am I not an honest person?

I would just like to point out that I've been interviewing for several jobs in the past few months and that one was very intriguing, but has had a very long application process and, well, I'm no longer being considered because I failed (aka didn't do 100%) the integrity test. Honestly, how does that even happen?

Yea for me

Christopher and I signed our new lease this morning...and then we went out to Qudoba to celebrate. Good times. The end. (oh yeah, and I measured it out and this new apartment is, in fact, larger than the one we're living in now...by 100-200 sq ft!!!) End

Why is it?

How come: when you're busy as heck; going to school full-time and working full-time and doing all sorts of crazy activities...how come it seems like you have more time to get stuff done then as opposed to dropping one major activity (said job)? That seems strange, indeed, to me. However, for the past several weeks, I've been applying at loads of jobs because I've come to the point where anything that's more than a 3 or 4 on the happiness scale is worth it (and is it bad that I still feel sorta bad about quitting my parking job when I seriously hated it with my entire being?) New stuff: mainly...Christopher and I are planning on applying for a new apt tomorrow. All of the forms are filled out. Chris just wants to see the place once more and I have two more questions and then we're going to be set. This new place is more per month than where we're living now and I wasn't planning on spending more, but we went and looked at this place and I wanted to see their efficiency (which was $15 less per month). I thought it was pretty nice. It had LOADS of storage space, which is nice, but that also means that it had less room for...well, rooms. It was almost the same sq footage as what we have now, but it only had one main room, the bathroom, a very small dining room, and about same-size kitchen...the rest was storage. Weird, but true. Plus, it was practically all wood. Have I mentioned before that I'm a lover of wood. You probably wouldn't guess it by our apartment now, but the only reason why I bought all black/white furniture was because that's all that would look decent in our apartment now. Anyway...So this new place is a one bedroom and costs more, but I swear to you it's bigger...and it has some wood flooring, but the trim and cabinets and everything are painted white (aka...not wood-colored). Chris was very excited about this second (he hated the efficiency) so I looked more into it. It's about the same exact distance from the school (so we won't be spending more money on gas), it includes all the same utilities, and...did I mention...I can totally have MY DOG!!!!! You can imagine my excitement. Actually, I think that's the reason why it's past one-thirty in the morning and I still can't sleep. I'm excited and sorta afraid that by the time we get there tomorrow, it'll be gone. That would make me very sad. Very sad. Very sad. (The repetition was for emphasis). So...That's pretty much the news as of now. Adios amigos.

I almost overheated while working out

Yes. I did actually work out today. For approximately an hour and burned approximately 467 calories. Exciting, isn't it? I'm going to try and work out at least three days a week (so I'm telling myself I'm going to every weekday). I had a four day weekend, but I also don't have class tomorrow so it ends up it's going to be a five day weekend. You have no idea how exciting that is for me. I got pretty far on my knitting over the weekend and I'm considering buying more yarn on ebay in just a little bit. Another weird sidenote: I applied for about seven jobs in the past few days and I'm actually pretty excited about it. How weird is that? I think it's a great thing! We had a friend over for Easter dinner (at one o'clock). Matt Evans. We had caboodles of food and then...we sat and talked about how much we'd had to eat...and then...we ate some pie! It was fabulous (save the fact that my husband started falling asleep as we were sitting there talking about randomness). I'm going to finally go and take my shower and then bid on some yarn (perhaps) and then go to knitting tonight. My love to all

Yea for my birthday!

I got my birthday present today in the mail. I bought an air purifier online and am very excited about actually being able to use it. I'm going to check the inside tomorrow to see how much ugly-ness it's sucked up. I'm so excited!

Studying. Not my cup of tea!

One side note to the title of this entry: I don't even like tea. Granted, I can stand it sometimes, but usually...no. Yesterday was not such a good day. I felt bummed out the beginning of the day and then got angry b/c Chris didn't do what I wanted to do (because I'm selfish...seriously, though, I've decided in the past few weeks that I am a lot more selfish than I'd originally thought) and then I got really angry later that night because he did something I didn't want him to do. Gosh. Am I a crazy person? Oh well. I'm in phase two of getting over it. I have two tests on Wednesday (Chemistry...which I tried to go to the review session yesterday but the doors were locked and CDFS...which is boring and there's a lot of notes to cover). However, I've already gone through my first round and just done some highlighting. Oh yeah, I also have a test that's due tomorrow and I started reading for it...but I just can't help procrastinating that class. What can I say? I've decided, though, that this week is going to be a homework-only week (save knitting night and newlyweds group). Originally, I was planning on doing no quilting, no knitting, no scrapbooking or any other random projects that I always come up with and I was just going to get some studying done. Obviously, though, by reading this post, you can tell that I've already started the procrastination (instead of studying right now, I'm posting this). However, I was studying and...well...now I'm not. One thing that's very intriguing: NDSU has a Family Financial Planning masters that they offer. I'd talked to a few different people at the school who told me there was nothing of the kind. Then, I found out that there's a certificate you can get in finance which I'd decided to go for. However, it's obviously business and not exactly what I'm wanting. Then, I was looking through the entire list of courses that NDSU offers and figured out that they offer a masters? That's AMAZ-A-ZING!!! I'm pretty dang excited, even if I end up not doing it. Who wants to go to school for seven years, eh? Anyway, so that was my amazing piece of news for the day and I hope all's going well in the world of whoever ends up reading this. God loves you and so do I. ~K
