Hello World!!!!!

It has been ages since I could write up a post here. My computer quite frankly decided to try to cash in the chips, but I wouldn't let it! I had RAM problems, audio problems, and software problems. My keys are popping off of my keyboard and one of my USB ports broke. There is also a tendency to overheat now as well. I need a new computer, but I'm stuck with this one for now. After a ton of work I made it functional again.

Well, what have I been up to? I was hoping to get a job this summer, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm hoping that I get this paid internship in the fall with the Boys and Girls Club. Perhaps I can do some copy writing and PR work with it.

My grandma has been dealing with tension headaches lately so I have been trying to help her out with things. Other than that I basically have been either knitting or playing Xbox games.

I hope to get back in the swing of things and post entries more often.

Quite a bit of time has passed since I posted an entry. I've been busy helping my mom paint. My room is sort of a medium/dark shade of blue. If I had a digital camera, I would post pictures. I really want to but I don't have a digital camera still! GRRRRRRRRRR. I wanted my room fuschia, but my mom wasn't having that at all. She doesn't like the blue, but I like bold colors. So now I can get bed sets and cute little accessories to help complement the room now. I'm so excited.

I'm still looking for a summer job. I might have a job this fall working for the Boys and Girls club. That would also be an intership as well (Yes, I know. A paid internship, I can hardly believe it myself.)

I want a mac!!!! I want a mac!!!!! I want a mac!!!!! I don't know if I should ask my grandpa to get me a macbook or a desktop mac. The desktop would be cheaper, but I do like to bring my laptop with me... I was thinking about asking him if he could get me a macbook for my birthday since my gateway laptop is falling apart after almost four years of usage. I don't have any warranty on it anymore anyways so if it gets broken, I'm not going to be able to fix it.

Today I've been busy sort of being busy. I revamped my resume, wrote a cover letter, and filled out an application for a job at the electric and utilities cooperation as a student clerk. They offer jobs for university students during the summer, and if you are good they can offer a part time spot during the school year. I'm applying for student clerk, so I'd get a little cubicle and do data entry, file things, you know clerical work. I know it can get mundane, but I miss getting a steady paycheck. I have to print of my transcript (at school because the printer my mom had decided to die) and mail it off soon. I'm hoping that I'll at least get an interview.

I registered for classes last week. I'm going to take Design I so I can take a web design class. No matter what I'm taking web design. I wanted to since the first semester of college, but I couldn't fit in the prerequisites (Drawing I or Design I), so I had to wait. If all else fails, the least I could do is get a job in web design after college.

Today my mom took me shopping on a whim. That doesn't happen; Mom never takes me shopping just out of the blue. I got a hoodie (half-sleeved), a couple of empire waist blouses, and a tank. I still need pants though...and shoes, but not just any shoes. Lately I've been only getting some plain boring shoes. I need some color! Some pink, red, blue...flip-flops, sneakers, heels, flats (but definitely NO CROCS!!!!) ...I need to go shoe shopping!
