WE Fest?

I did it. I applied to work at WE Fest. Specifically I applied to work in admissions or as a greeter or checker. A greeter/checker would be the people you see first directing people and checking their items for things they are not allowed to bring into the festival. A co-worker at Pepsi told me about working there, and I decided it'd be a good experience, since I have the time available. And not to mention the chance to make money (and see country singers for free!) ! :) I won't be camping there if I do get hired - too loud for me. I don't know anyone else who is working there (unless my co-worker decides to work there) and I don't know anyone who would want to... but maybe I'll make friends?

Either way at least it might be a chance to make some money... and an interesting experience! We'll see if I get hired.

And it occurred to me

I sat down this morning to add a few items to my to-do list for this Friday the 13th, in a planner that I recently bought at Wal-Mart for a whole four dollars. After writing the ever important items down, I began to flip ahead a bit in the planner, just to look. As I was flipping through the blank pages which encompass the next 18 months or so of my life, I found myself beginning to realize that this planner is destined to witness a multitude of events and changes in my life that will ultimately usher me in to the full fledgled world of adulthood.

What in the world am I talking about? Well, I guess it just hit me, how much is going to change for me in the very near future. In just over a month I'll be leaving to live in Texas, to do an internship at C.A.R.E.; a large cat sanctuary in Bridgeton, Texas. For the first time in my life I will be traveling to a place I have never been to or seen with my own eyes (I've never even been to Texas, let alone Bridgeton). Once I get there I will be totally alone, for the first time ever. Fabian won't be there to help me out, my parents won't just be three hours away, and not one of my friends lives in Texas anywhere - the closest will be Tiffany in New Mexico.

After Texas I'll be moving on to a permanent job somewhere in the world... and as of right now I have no idea where. Most likely it'll be in a state relatively far from home, where I won't know anyone at all. Most likely I'll be traveling there alone, finding an apartment alone, finding the grocery stores alone, and getting completely settled...alone. I'll have to find a way to make friends, and to thrive in my new habitat...

When I'm in my new place I'll begin making it a home - my first more permanent home.

I'm super excited at all of these things... I can't wait to find out how they all happen and plan out! I can't wait for the challenge of moving out completely on my own in the spring and becoming a full fledged adult - even more so than I am now. I can't wait to go to Texas and I can't wait to start making a home for myself and eventually Fabian when the time comes...

So until then I will continue to page through my planner, wondering at all the changes that God surely has in store for me in the future. Wondering how they'll work out, where I'll end up and what life has in store for me. I'll continue to push my way through the everday life here in Fargo, where I work at a job that I no longer enjoy most days of the week. I'll relish life in my apartment for the last month I'll live there, and thoroughly enjoy my last seven days of work at the zoo! And I'll do my best to enjoy the excitement and build up of the next stage in my life.

Things I Hate About the Library's Internet:

1. Having to wait in line for an internet station to open up.

2. Having to hear people talk to eachother.

3. Having to hear loud typers (I'm guilt of this too though).

4. Having to hear people talk extremely loudly on their cell phones.

5. Having a million things I want to do online when I'm at home and forgetting them all as soon as I am at the library.

At least I don't have to pay for internet.

Only 14 days of work at pepsi left..then I'm done!

Not that I'm happy about that.

I'm still having wrist problems, though they are getting better. Still filing for workman's comp and going to physical therapy...

typing still hurts.

News from my world

Hey guys. I still didn't fall off the face of the earth. I'll blog more regularly in the fall when I have internet again. I have wrist problems now, due to Pepsi (typing too much). It's not carpal tunnel, but sprains..I'm working on getting it fixed, but for now computer use is painful.. so you especially won't hear much from me.

I wish everyone a good summer and happy fourth.
