National Blog Posting Month July 4, 2009

So,

I have run out of books to read in the Cary house!  I have two books waiting for me at the library, but guess what…It was closed today, even though it’s only the 3rd and not the 4th.  Whatever.  So I looked on wordpress and saw a post that talked about the blog posting month thing and basically it’s a challenge of sorts to update your blog every single day for a whole month.  I’m going to be pretty bored for the next month, so this works out fairly well I guess.

In my last post I wrote about how I didn’t know what to do about my job offer situation.  But, be ready to be proud of me, I finally made a decision!  I picked the rehab company!  When I called the HR guy, who I have been in contact with since I first sent my resume and who was also one of the people who interviewed me (and said that I present myself very well), he asked me if I was going to make his day.  That made me feel wanted and special and wonderful.  The other person who has made me feel so great about myself was the other SLP (my former supervisor in grad school) that was at the school I was a sub at.  My start date is around August 3rd and I hope to move a couple days before that.  For a long while I contemplated living by myself or with other people.  I thought I was tired of living with people in general, but in truth it’s just that I’m tired of certain types of people and their “quirks.”  If I were to live by myself I would probably end up in a studio apartment that was tiny and still expensive.  But for the same price, or even cheaper, I could live in an actual large apartment with other people.  My best living experiences, both in undergrad and grad school, were with people I did not know prior to moving in.  Also, I will meet more people if I don’t live alone.

Know how a super long time ago and on a different blog I had something along the lines of things that make me happy and things that make me not happy at the end on my posts?  Well, here you go:

Things that make me happy:  Belgian waffles with fresh peaches and whipped cream, shopping, and Away We Go (it was a wonderful movie)

Things that make me not happy: shin splints, people in my neighborhood that set off fireworks on July 2nd and 3rd

-Me

P.S.  I know you awesome readers do not like to participate, but I think you should tell me what has made you happy (and/or not happy) recently.  Do it!
