Show Me The Money

First things first. Here's a picture of my quilt that I was supposed to post in my last blog....



Pretty cute eh?

Here's a quick update of life as I know it:

*I had a job interview yesterday as well as one today. Yesterday's went pretty well. The opening was for an administrative assistant at a company called eVenture. The job pays $10/hr for the first couple weeks, and then once training is complete, it bumps up to $10.50/hr. The interview went well...but they are looking for someone to work 11:30-5:00, Monday through Friday...and I can't work until 1:00. The girl interviewing me said that she really liked me and was going to talk to her manager and see if they could work something out. I'm supposed to hear from her today....so keep your fingers crossed. My job interview today is at Stampin' Up. My two cousins that I'm living with both work here, so I have a couple ins. The opening here is for phones. I'm not a huge fan of talking on the phone, but it seems like a good business to work for. Hopefully I don't botch the interview too badly :S

*I had my first 3 quizzes due over the weekend. I am pretty happy to say that I got 100% on all of them! Okay...so they were open book...and only 5 questions long...and I had 30 minutes for each quiz....But I'm still happy about it!

*I am in desperate need for a good book. My work load for my classes has been a lot lighter than I anticipated...and I have quite a bit of spare time between classes where I don't know what to do with myself.

*I downloaded skype last night. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I haven't tried it out yet....so I'll let you know once I have actually used it.

*One disadvantage of ordering text books online is the waiting for them to arrive.

*This guy in one of my classes today informed the class that his wife hit him last week...with a car. On purpose. Be careful who you marry.

*I really dislike people who argue a point with the professor. Or try to have a one on one conversation with the professor while he is lecturing. There's a reason professors have office hours people!

*It seems like my gas tank is forever running on empty....oi. This wouldn't be as bad if I had an endless amount of money to put into it.

*I absolutely love falling asleep to the sound of rain and thunder.

*Life is good. I am happy. I just need money :)

My Standard Break From Life

I've decided to finally break my fast from blogging. It's funny how when I am not at all busy, I can never find time to blog...but when I should be really busy, I somehow manage to squeeze it in. I think there's a word for that. Procrastination? That may be it.

I was telling my sister-in-law and mom the other day that I wanted to wait to blog until I had my quilt and blanket done that I had been working on. I've had the blanket done for a few months (Thanks to my Aunt Debie for letting me use her quilting frames!). I just barely finished up my quilt about a week before I moved to school. I had SO many people help me with this quilt! There's no way I would have finished it on my own. A few shoutouts to my Grandma Couch, Mom, Camille, Aunt Joan, Aunt Sharon, Aunt Tammi, and Sarah! I absolutely LOVE the final product! I don't have a picture of my blanket yet, but I'll post one of my quilt. It's adorable if I do say so myself. (I can't get my picture to post now, but I WILL post is shortly)

For those of you that don't know, I'm now living in Herriman, Utah. I live with two of my cousins, Mindy and Jessica Couch. The townhouse we're living in is really nice and I really love it! The only downside is the commute to Orem each day for school. It's about a 30 minute drive, but it usually goes by really fast so it's not too bad. I've officially decided what I want to be when I want to grow up...and that is a Paralegal. I just started into the program this semester, and I should be able to graduate in four semesters.

So far I am really enjoying my classes. I have one class that is a bit ridiculous, but all the other ones are great! I actually WANT to do the homework and finish all the reading...which doesn't happen very often. I'm excited to take classes that are challenging and that I can't just coast by in. These intro classes that I'm taking this semester aren't too tough of course, but they're still interesting to me.

One last thing....It's my baby sister's sweet sixteen today! She's seriously the funnest (yes, it's a word) person to be around! She can make anyone laugh. She's also the sweetest person I know....she feels bad when she tells even the littlest white lie and can't handle making anyone feel bad at all. I love you Mill! Have a great birthday!
