This Wait For Destiny Won't Do

I am very sleepy right now. It's not that late, so I maybe shouldn't be, but I just am. I do believe I will get ready for bed soon. I'm okay with this, because I have to work at seven tomorrow morning and I like sleeping.

I had a job interview today. It went really well, and they called only hours later to offer the job, but I declined because it was part time (the hours were fewer than my current job) and paid only minimum wage. I felt really bad about it. I was honest when they called, though, and they appreciated that. I just can't backpedal like that, you know? I barely survive as it is. I need to be increasing my earnings. You know.

I finished reading a book that contained a collection of stories by Flannery O'Connor today. It was loaned to me by an old lady customer. Did I already write about that? I can't remember. Anywayyyy... I was glad to be done with it. Not because it was bad (it was actually very good), but because I was spending weeks getting through it and I was feeling bad about keeping it for so long. Now I am getting into a book that I picked up last week while at Target (it's a dangerous place, I tell you). I really like it so far, and it is going by pretty quickly.

Tomorrow is the first day of Italian! I am excited. I need to get a new notebook.

Okay... perhaps it is sleep time?

So We Lie Here In The Dark

The weather is very tricky lately. Last week, it suddenly became more fall-like than ever and now leaves are falling (CLRG says that that's to do with the huge amounts of snowfall we had in the winter) and temperatures are lower. I am looking forward to autumn, but I will miss the warmth when it's 35 degrees out in a few months. Blah.

The weekend was a good one. CLRG and I went to a delicious pizza place nearby, watched college football at a bar down the street, and napped on Saturday. On Sunday, I worked and then watched the Steelers game. In the evening, Howie (if that is a nickname already, I probably don't have to give him another on the blog, right?) came over and I made spaghetti and then he, CLRG and I walked up to the Regent Square Theatre to see Repo Man. It was crazy and awesome. You should see it sometime.

Tonight, I am meeting K for dinner. Tomorrow, I am going to a movie with A. I'm excited for both things.

Oh! Last night I was telling CLRG about my plans to go to the Italian for Beginners class at the library and he indicated that he would like to go also. I registered us for the class today. It starts next week, I think. I'm very excited. I miss being in a classroom, even though I haven't studied a language in years. Oops.

Whatever Happened To That Silly Dream You Had

When did it get to be September? I mean, wow. 2010 is flying by and I can't keep track of it! Also, today slayed me because it is 90210. Get it? Haha. If I were a little older, it might be more relevant to me. I was too young to really watch or care about that show when it was on.

I had a job interview today. I think it went well, but we shall see.

I just finished reading Oliver Twist. It's funny that I have not ever read it before. I really liked it. I was held in suspense throughout the whole book. It's kind of nice to be able to read something so classic and beloved and still have no idea what happens. All I really knew about it was related to Oliver asking for more gruel or whatever and that happened so early on that it didn't really matter that much when it came to be the end.
