To anyone that may have been interested in my life these past few months....I apologize! I'm terribly lame for not writing anything. I think I'll start back when I moved to Cali.
We spent a very hot 2 days back at the beginning of August moving me, my stuff and Mr. Pants down here. Mr. Pants was not terribly happy about this, but, he survived (thank god!) and is doing well! When I first arrived I stayed with my friend Martina in her condo in Irvine. She let me crash there for 2 months while looking for work. I started the job hunt looking for office jobs, which was dumb. I really should have just been looking for restaurant jobs the whole time. I bet I would have found one quicker! Anyway...the first good thing to happen was because of my kitty! I went to Martina's vet to get some of his diabetic supplies, and while talking to the girl behind the desk, she asked if I needed a place to live! I ended up moving in with her at the beginning of October, and it has been great! She's a super-nice girl, we get along great, and there's room for me and Mr. Pants. Score!
Just a couple of days after moving in, I landed a job at Chili's. This was a huge relief, because I wasn't sure how I'd pay rent after that first month without a job! The best part about the job? It's a half mile from my house. Best. Commute. Ever. Especially for southern california! If I wasn't so lazy, I'd walk to work. I really should start doing that.
What else...I took one class this term at the community college I'll be going to. It was a technical math class. I honestly didn't learn anything new until the last two weeks of the semester when we did Trig. But, I can now do right triangle trig! And I even understand it! Hooray! Last week he told us where we stand on the point scale. If we had 148 points or above, we would have an A, and not have to take the final this week. I knew I'd have an A, because he gives a ton of extra credit. How many points did I have??? 243! Aww yeah. No final for this girl! Woo!
I guess that gets us to where we are now. I really could use a second job, and am keeping my eyes open for one. I'm definitely not going out and spending money when I don't have to....rent here is double what it was in Portland, and everything's just more expensive! Ah well...such is life.
Next semester: Anatomy and Physiology. Yikes. But I'm really looking forward to it!
Ta ta for now....
