I got a job! I wasn’t really looking that seriously for a job, since I can always think of plenty of other things to do. However, I figured if the perfect job (or close to it) came along I would always apply. Applying for a job never hurt anyone and you never have to take it if offered, but I definitely wanted this job. So what am I going to be doing and where am I going to be working? I will be working as a vet assistant at the humane society! So exciting, since I love working with animals and have been thinking for quite some time that the humane society would be a cool place to work.

Hmm… and why am I studying business for a degree;) Okay, I know it is a good degree! Don’t worry I am not going to quit now when I only have a couple months to graduation. Plus life is so unpredicatable, and the stuff that we think is useless may have a purpose. I may someday want to actually use my business degree for something that I can’t think of right now. Besides it will be pretty rewarding in May to walk the line at graduation and get my diploma that I have worked hard for.

So today I get to go buy some scrubs for my new job. (Which may not seem exciting to most people, but then you have never seen Dickies scrubs.) After that I really need to get working on some homework… Oh and I really should catch up on emails. If you have emailed me and I haven’t sent you an email back, sorry life has been busy but I am going to get caught up. Oh yeah, favorite sister of mine, you should give me a call in between your busy schedule.

Then…

And now…

It is hard to believe how much he has grown. Even so, he is still a cute “little” kitten.

I had my Saturday ballet class this morning, which was really fun. The Saturday class is definitely better than the Wednesday class. I thought maybe it was because of the teachers (which is definitely a big part of it), but Ben suggested that maybe having it be a much smaller class size than the Wednesday class helps too. I would have to say that I agree with that. It is easier to learn and you are less likely to run into other people:)

After ballet, I came home and ate lunch and then we went furniture shopping. Like almost all day long! Not too much fun…. although the good news is that we have probably narrowed it down to three different couches. Now the really hard part is we actually have to make a decision between the three!

I got my print-based course, Business Policy & Strategy, in the mail today. So now I just have to order the textbook for it and then I will be ready to start it. Not really looking that forward to this class, it sounds hard, but I am looking forward to May and graduation!!!

The library here has a pretty cool contest that they run 3 times a year. Every time you read five books, you get to write them on a card and enter a drawing that is held at the end of the contest. So if you read 25 books, you can enter the drawing 5 times (and there is more than one prize, so several people win). Now I read a decent amount, so I figure I have a fair chance in this type of contest. The contest started Jan. 15th (and I didn’t notice that it had started back up, until probably the 20th, which means that I didn’t include the books I read those couple days). So can you guess how many books I have read? Let’s just say, I already have one card completely filled out and am working on the second one. This means I have read close to one book per day! Oops, I probably should be working on my homework instead. I am going to keep track of how many cards I fill up, it should be fun to see at the end how many books I read.

I hope your leg gets better soon Mom!
