Not that I ever really left. But by back I mean back at school. To be honest I didn't really miss being in Philly at all and I can't wait to go home. It's not like I have many friends left here anyway. Most of them moved away after they graduated. Classes start tomorrow and I'm already dredding everything about this week. Not to mention that I have no cable or internet until Friday (I'm typing this in the computer lab). And of course I still don't have a roommate....ugh. Hopefully someone will be moving in soon but it's taking entirely too long to find someone so it's really stressful.
In addition to that nonsense, it looks like I may need to take yet another class in order to graduate. This wouldn't be annoying if I hadn't been told before that I did NOT need this particular class. Even then I could deal with it but of course the class doesn't fit in with my nursing schedule. Color me surprised :/. I don't know why but I feel like it's always one step forward, two steps back for me. Maybe I need a vision board or something to put some positive thoughts out into the universe for myself. I just don't know what to do about anything right now. I feel like I'm in a borderline state of depression, or maybe it's just homesickness.
Anyway, I really don't have much to say right now I just wanted to post something because I really haven't in a while. Hopefully once I get my internet back I can go back to posting on a more regular basis if I'm not too busy studying.
Later....

Quotes by Me: Lauren London
While sitting at a bar watching the movie ATL, I said the following about the actress Lauren London:
"Can she actually act or is she just cute?"
That's all for this installment of quotes by me. And I'm probably gonna make this a somewhat regular occurrence on my blog...yay me!
ps: I still don't know the answer.

My Ship Has a Major Leak in It
So remember that job interview last month that I totally bombed? No, well that's probably because I never wrote a blog post about it. It was probably my worst interview EVER which is difficult because I suck at interviews anyway. But to my surprise I just got a call for a job offer for that very position...yay! In case you're wondering it's a student nursing assistant position in pediatric oncology. Cool shit if you ask me. It's been almost a month since the interview but the lady told me they interviewed a lot of people. Of course I was all too eager to accept since I'm broke and I've been jobless for way longer than I care to admit. And then the other shoe dropped.
They only do orientation for the job every other week and it's a three day thing so you have to be available to do it all three days. Unfortunately the most recent one started Monday. Too bad I didn't get this call last week huh? The next orientation isn't until August 30th but of course this also happens to be the day that I start school again, in another state. I certainly can't take 3 days off school to do an orientation, especially if one of those days is a clinical day. The next time I would be available is for winter break starting in December but of course the orientation starting on December 13th is also the same day that finals week starts. Gotta love that. The next one is January 3rd. The lady said she's gonna see if they would be willing to hold the position for me until January.
It's possible because it's only a casual status position with no benefits so it's basically me showing up if and when they need me. She also made it clear that there's no guarantee of hours. But then again if they were looking they obviously need someone so I can't be mad if they're not willing to wait. I guess I'm just gonna have to wait for the phone to ring again and keep my fingers crossed. If I get this foot in the door now it'll put me that much closer to getting an RN position at this hospital after I graduate next year which is exactly what I want. Wish me luck!

I've Been Slacking
I know I've been seriously slacking on my blog lately. To be honest I haven't had that much to talk about lately. Life is pretty dull right now. Things with "penis man" or sort of at a plateau so I'm not sure what to make of it. I already posted about the nonsense that is my roommate situation and I still don't have a job. I just don't get it, I mean besides the fact that I suck at job interviews there's really no reason for anyone not to hire me. I'm pretty good at this nursing thing, well student nursing but you know what I mean. Maybe if I didn't bomb my last interview someone might actually know that. Seriously, the lady asked me a question and I completely blanked out and was sitting there in dead silence for what felt like forever. FAIL!
Anyway, school is starting in a few weeks and since I'm gonna be a senior I need to make sure to do all that crap that looks good on a resume but I was too lazy to do for that past few years. Maybe I can take some kind of job interview course to work on my skills because I really suck at talking about myself. I should look into that. On the up side I'm trying to plan a month long trip to Europe with this group that does tours for next year as a graduation present. Yay me! That's all for now, peace out.
ps: I still don't have a new roommate....smfh

Roommate Nonsense
Is it wrong that I want to beat the hell out of my roommate? I got an email from her last Monday saying that she's moving out in mid August sometime. Really dude, wtf?! This isn't a complete surprise because she mentioned a while back that she would "probably" be moving out but didn't have any definite plans at that time. That's part of the reason I'm so pissed about this. Let me give you the little bit of back story there is on the situation.
At the beginning of the year, maybe February or March, is when she told me that she would most likely be moving out sometime in the near future. She didn't have any set plans but she said she would keep me informed. Great. Then sometime after that I asked what was going on and if I should start really trying to find a new roommate. She said yes, so I put the new roomie search in full effect. She didn't mention anything for a while so I asked again what was going on because a few people were interested in the place. This had to be sometime in April. She said she still didn't have a date and at that point wasn't even sure if shwas moving at all. Really bitch?! SMFH! I had no choice but to put the search on hold because I didn't have a move in date for potential roommates.
fast forward to now and I have roughly 2 weeks to find another roommate because she waited until now to tell me that she found a new job AND a house in another part of town. I'm convinced that I'm just not meant to have a roommate, unless you count my dad. *sigh* Fuckery I tell you.
