Whew...that takes a load off

Some very good news to announce, I got a job! The interview I had where my friends work, well the interview must have gone well because I got called and offered the job. I'm nervous to be starting in the workplace again and in such a big company but ready to get going again. And to top it off, it's better pay, health benefits from day one, good vacation. The only bad thing is the hours which after training will be 11:30a - 8:00p. Not horrible but it will take some getting used to. But beggers can't be choosers and jobs haven't been thrown at my left and right so I'll take it. If I don't like it I hope I can last at least two years until I'm done with school!

Speaking of school, I found out the day before I was going to take my placement tests that I didn't have to take them! All I have to do is a typing test and get 30 wpm....and you get up to 10 tries. Needless to say I think I'll be able to pass that. All I need to do now is fill out the application and send in the $30 bucks, my transcripts, and sign up for classes. As I said before, I'm nervous yet ready to get back into school. It all starts in the fall so I do get the summer off still!

Hmm, other then that not much going on. I babysat my little cousins for two weeks while their normal babysitter was on vacation. It was so fun and they are the best. The things they say and do just make me laugh all day. My cousin wanted me to start doing it full time but I just couldn't and she understood. It didn't make me feel any better though, I still felt bad when I told her I got a job.

And guess what!?! My mom and I are going on a road trip to celebrate my new job and Omaha, Nebraska is the destination! Everyone laughs when I tell them but I wanted a place where I had never been, a place we could drive to and that was the closest, biggest destination I could find that I actually wanted to go to and has things to do. I'm excited to see all the things there and there is a lot of Lewis and Clark museums/monuments which has always interested me. Not to mention Council Bluffs, Iowa is right across the river and that's a stop on the Oregon Trail. Lots of fun history there. Guess this might be why one of my favorite classes in college was History of the American West!

Hope all is well with everyone! Have a great Sunday!
