Settling In

Well friends, it has been a couple of weeks since I have posted, but things have certainly been hectic.

I am now working at Apartment Savvy and Borders (which I will now refer to as Job 1 and Job 2, as APPARENTLY there is a clause in the employee handbook saying I am not allowed to BLOG about Borders...HOW ODD!).
Andy is now in the swing of things with his job at The Boiler Room; he is working about 5 nights a week, while I am working about 6 days per week--which means we rarely get to see each other.
It's very hard and we are trying to get out schedules to match up a little bit so we can actually ever spend more than an hour together (aside from all that unconscious time we spend together).

They are going to have Andy start learning stuff to be a "line cook" (whatever that means!) and he is really excited about it. I, on the other hand, am slightly less enthused by the requirements of my job. Actually, strike that. So far, Job 2 is decent--pretty easy (aside from all the reading I have to do about the origins of coffee and how to mix sanitizer)--and I am excited to actually get to do stuff for that job, once my training is done. Job 1 on the other hand...well, let's just say...I'm pretty positive that I am going to quit.
It is driving me slightly insane and I'm not sure if I can handle working there for another day. The job is not at all what it was made out to be when I was hired and I am incredibly unhappy doing it. I figure if I quit #1, I will still have #2 and Andy has his job. This means we will still be making the same amount we were making before and I can devote more energy into finding a better job to replace #1. Thoughts? I think this sounds like a good plan. I just have to figure out how to quit. I have never quit a job before because it makes me feel so awkward...HOW DO YOU EVEN DO IT?!

In other news, I have received my postcard in the mail saying that I passed my EMT practical and can now take the written exam! This means I will be flying home for a weekend at the end of August to take the exam and hopefully see some friends!!! Hooray for friends!

Our housewarming party was last weekend and it was a good time. Our roommate invited a bunch of his friends and I invited some people from my class. It was nice to have people come over and see our place. If only it wasn't so hot in here with all those people!

Other things? My class at iO is going really well. It's a lot of fun and the teacher is absolutely great. There are some great people in my class and I am slowly making some friends here.

I noticed the other night that I am really starting to get used to and to get to like our neighborhood. It is starting to feel like the place where we belong, which is nice. :)

I feel like I haven't said a lot, but that's pretty much the news for now.

Hopefully next time I write it will be to talk about all of the wonderful jobs I have been offered.
