Thankful

So today I had to ride the city bus to become familiar with the routes since I was recently hired as the Marketing Assistant for CityLink. I was on the bus from 10-1:30. SERIOUSLY. I got lost because I was given some false instructions (will be bringing that up during my meeting with my boss!) and let me tell you.... I am extremely thankful to have my own car. You all should be too. The people that ride the city buses are much less fortunate and probably have never/will never have the opportunity to go to college or anything along those lines. I people watched a lot since I was floating around Peoria for about 4 hours. I then took a nap for 2 hours. It wore me out switching buses and stressing out, let me tell ya!

I don't think I will be doing that again. Definitely not willingly! Yay for Wednesday being over... closer and closer to the weekend!

Life's a Beach

... And I'm just playin' in the sand! :)

Last week was spring break.. MUCH NEEDED! I went to Gulf Shores, AL. It was absolutely breathtaking. I have never been to a more beautiful place in my life. I am happy to be back, (not to classes, obviously ;]  ) but will miss the beach!

I also started my new job as the Sales & Marketing Assistant at CityLink on Monday. It's a Monday through Friday job and so far, so good.  I am so excited for all of you seniors who have landed post-graduation jobs! Congrats and best wishes.

Puppy Love?

So, when my boyfriend visited me here at Bradley last weekend, I came up with the fabulous idea for him to leave our dog, Lilly, with me all week because I missed her.
Little did I know that she would leave me a poopy present in the kennel after class on Monday. Gee, thanks. Along with that surprise, she barks in her kennel the entire time I'm gone as well as steps on my face to wake me up every morning.
Yes, she did this when she was a puppy about 6 months ago, but has been an angel for several months now. I guess she is just out of her funk because she is in a house full of girls rather than just her and my boyfriend at home.
Can't say I'm too excited to see what she'll do the rest of the week... Hoping for no more surprises, but that doesn't seem likely. Good thing I'm a dog lover!

Risky business

Last week I made me first big purchase (well, on myself)! I bought a new laptop.. Making this my third one in college. I quite possibly might have the worst luck with technology ever. True story. Anyway, I love it so far. It was a great deal. Only $479 before tax-- It's a Toshiba, 500gb hard drive and 4gb of RAM. Has a number pad, huge screen, at least 5 hours of battery life (best part, in my opinion) and more! If  any of you are looking for the most for your money, I highly recommend this laptop. It's at Best Buy. You can fund it online under Toshiba laptops or go in the store. This has no comparison to the amount of money spent on a car or a house, but this is my first stepping stone to the big girl world.

By the way, thanks everyone who commented on my last post-- I took the Marketing Assistant position with CityLink and am really excited about it!

1 more week of classes until spring break! Everyone hang in there.
