Viva London!

Yeah, I'll get to the title in a minute.

Life's been pretty much the same ol' same ol' for the most part. Been working a lot. Haven't been doing a whole lot else. I finally started my singing lessons with Girl Scout, and that's going pretty well. And I was named "Great Team Hero of the Month" at Target, most places would call it Employee of the Month. Yeah...I guess that's about it.

Now, looking forward...I'll be working even more than I have been. I've got 60 hours this week, which is just a tiny bit more than normal. Next week I have 82 hours scheduled. Yes, that's right, 82. It's technically it's in 6 days not 7 because I have a day off in there somewhere, and I'm expecting about the same for the following week. Now, I know you're all thinking that I'm out of my mind to be working so much especially when I hate one of those jobs which brings me back to the title.

I've wanted to go to Europe for quite a long time now, and for the last few years I had every intention of finding a way of going as soon as I possibly could upon graduating from college. Well, there's no better time than the present. I went last Monday to apply for my passport, and just decided why not. Now, at that point, I was still kinda iffy, but then on Thursday I hear from my old roommate Writer who lives in Boston right now. We got to talking and I told her I wanted to go to London in May, and she said she was too. So we decided to go together. So since at that point I had a travelling buddy, I decided for certain, at long last, to go to Europe. I'm crazy excited about it. We're going to go see Equus. For those of you who don't know, it's the play that Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is doing right now. We're gonna visit Oxford. We may even take a day trip to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. So yeah...I can't wait. And everything seems to be falling together as far as timing and finances and everything. Even though I have to stick to a fairly tight budget for the next month or so, but it's a good learning experience.

So a part of me almost feels selfish for doing such an expensive thing but I feel like after 4 years of college and 6 months of working my butt off, I think I deserve a break/adventure like this. It also gives me a goal to work towards which makes it easier to get out of bed and face the day. And it's teaching me how to budget. For the first time in probably 4 years, I'm finally keeping track of my spending, making and sticking to a budget.

So yeah, I'm super excited about all that. In future job news, there's still no word as to when I'll be going full-time at the base. So, just in case it will be a long time, I'm applying for the current open Team Leader position at Target. Since this position is actually posted, and I can't think of anyone else who would be applying for it, I may finally get it.

So that's what's going on in my life right now. I know I haven't seen y'all in a while, and I probably won't for a while because well, I'll be at work. I hope all is well with everyone! Love and prayers to all of you!

God bless!
