Apparently it's time for an update!

I always forget I have a blog...

Anyway, I'm at work right now. It's a conference day so that means I really have nothing to do. No kiddos to tutor, nothing. I spent my day updating my resume and applying for jobs. And right now, I'm procrastinating applying for an internship with The Stranger by updating my blog. I'm debating if I should send a link to this blog when I apply for that internship. I think this is a pretty accurate representation of me, both my writing style and my lifestyle, so I'm thinking I will.

So what has been happening in the last, like, nine months? Not a whole lot. Still with John. Still serving in AmeriCorps. Still don't know what I'm doing with my life. That part is a little stressful. I'm trying to just take life as it comes, though. No need to worry about things since they're gonna happen regardless.

My dad is in some trouble with the law. That's been freaking me out for awhile. I found out about that in, like, October? I think. And it's still going on. But both him and my mama are optimistic things will work out and the charges will be dismissed. I'm hoping so too. She told me his next court date, but I can't remember.

John is working in Lakewood and he's hopefully being trained as a manager for the next store they open. If I can get a job here doing something cool and that I like, we might be sticking around. If not, we'll be packing up and moving back to Fargo. I'm feeling conflicted about that. I really like it here, but I do miss home and all the wonderful shiz the Midwest has to offer. Plus family and all that jazz. I've made some pretty keen friends here, though. And I'm pretty terrible at that whole long distance friendship thing, so I'm scared to move away. Eep. Life.

Only other thing to update is this: I'm thinking about dyeing my hair red. Some people are supportive, others are concerned. My supervisor told me I should do, like, a dark brown with red underneath or some sort of ombre-type thing. I just need something new in my life. And I haven't dyed my hair since high school, so why not? I guess we'll see!

Well, that's about all to update. It's kinda ridiculous that the last nine months of my life haven't given me very much to write about. Oh well! Maybe I'll blog again sooner than the last. Maybe...
