H&M :) *excited*

So, I got the job! I am super pumped and excited about it. I start my training on the 25th and I believe the store officially opens on the 15th of October. I am certainly going to be a busy bee! Which is nice for a change…I have been lazy for far too long. I finally decided that I had more than enough free time, even as a full time student, and was dying to make some of my own money. For nearly the past year I have been solely depending on my parents. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice not to have to worry about a thing, but I hate taking their money and I feel utterly guilty to continually ask them “can I have 20 bucks to go out to eat here?” or “could I have, like, 15 dollars to get a new pair of shoes?” I just feel bad. Plus, my dad has been helping me pay off my credit card each month, which I allowed to get out of hand…although he isn’t aware of that. I only have a 500 dollar limit (thank God, really…and it’s my first and only credit card) and the balance is about…oh 460.00 so yeah. It’s not good and I have been stressing out about that. Now with a job, I no longer will have to stress out because I am being a productive member of society.

It’s amazing how good getting a silly little part time job can make you feel. Apparently they only hired 17 part timers out of a ton of applications so I’m even more excited about the fact that they wanted me to fill one of them.

Anyway, my sister’s 15th birthday is around the corner which means she will be getting her permit. I can’t picture her already learning how to drive! Then, it makes me feel old…even though I know I’m not…because that was me seven years ago. It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago so it is certainly a reality check. I think she’ll do a good job…we just need a car she can drive. We currently have four vehicles in our driveway, plus two classic mustangs in the garage, but she really can’t drive any of them. One of the four driveable cars is an Excursion…which I am even leery to drive…and the rest are all manuals. She will NOT learn stick shift…yet. That’s at least what she says and I can’t completely blame her. I didn’t learn manual until I was about 17 or 18. Her time will come though. I think my parents have made it their personal mission to ensure that all of their three children WILL learn to drive a stick shift eventually and preferably sooner than later. So basically I don’t know what she is going to do about driving a car…

Anyway, I am rambling on. Today was an incredibly busy day and I am utterly pleased to be home sitting at my computer relaxing. It’s very pleasant. I’m going to go and surf around a bit and get into God only knows what haha! Ciao .
