I think I'm getting a cat...
Maybe.
The Humane Society here is adopting out cats over 1 year old for free all through October. They're already spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, tested for feline leukemia, and they come with a month of free pet health insurance (incase something goes wrong within the first month). There's a really cute one called Scallop that we're going to go meet today. She's a year and a half old:

So, we'll see! I just have to figure out what the deposit is on my apartment for pets...

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DOES PAYROLL SUCK SO BAD?
I really enjoy people who don't treat me like a manager, even though I am one, and really, their boss. They're just SUPER.
I think I need to go to Ikea tonight.

Eammon and I are slowly but surely settling into the Northwest way of life. He's working at Apple in a shopping center near the University of Washington, and is hoping to become full-time, and maybe management, soon. He's interviewed twice for it and has a third either tonight or tomorrow. I'm working at Gap Kids in a mall in Bellevue, and I was just promoted to Customer Experience Expert at the adult Gap in the same mall. We spent five days at the ocean camping with my family last week, which is always enjoyable, except for the fact that in the last few years flounder have started living in the shallow waters at that beach, which means if you want to go play in the waves, you're gonna step on some fish. I stepped on a fish. It was creepy and gross. And it kinda ruined my love of playing in the ocean. We're going to eastern Washington for Labor Day weekend, to a little town where my Dad's family lives. We're going to the the fair and parade on Saturday, and fair and rodeo on Sunday. I'm really excited for that, because I absolutely love the town, and my family, and the rodeo, and I can't wait to show it all to Eammon. I'm looking into consolidating my student loans, and with this new promotion, I'm starting to breathe a little easier about my finances. Biggest piece of bad news is that since moving I've gained about ten pounds, and I just don't have time to work out, nor do I have the energy. But I really don't want to be at this weight and so I'm gonna have to do something.
Anyway, now I'm just waiting for the winning numbers of Mega Millions because I bought a ten dollar ticket. Haha.
Okay time to brainstorm for my new job!
And read fashion magazines.
And watch TV.
Yay multi-tasking!

but newest update: i accepted a promotion to "customer experience expert" at gap today. aka management.
yesterday, i scheduled an interview for an admin position with a local restaurant, for tomorrow.
and yet, i've already accepted the position with gap. i don't really want to do the interview now, for a few reasons.
one, if they offer me more money, i wont know what to do, except cry, because i would feel awful backing out of the promotion after i was all super excited for it. two, i have more opportunity at gap. three, the person who i scheduled the interview with is a client of my aunt. so i can't even cancel it, because it would look bad on her, because she recommended me.
whaaat do i doooooooo?!!
life, you are SUPER hilarious.

I'm so happy :) Eammon and I found our new church, and we LOVE it. The people are fantastic, the sermon's are fantastic, the church itself is AMAZING and beautiful. And they value music in worship (and want me to play the flute in a service sometime!)

I think this is more exciting than picking a date, because it means a central place of worship for him and I as a couple, and for our family in the future. Being raised in different traditions, its been difficult so far so reconcile our faiths, but it seems like God truly has His hand in this and I'm excited to attend a service and meet with the minister of the church. And it's good that we've chosen a date two years in advance so we can both be properly prepared to enter into marriage within this church.
It just makes me so happy :)

We got our lease in the mail today to sign! I'm so excited! But they only reserved one carport spot for us so I need to have them fix that. My Mom is giving us my step-brother's old bed for a little bit 'til we can buy the bed we want, and my Grandmother is giving us a table and set of four chairs 'til we can buy the table and chairs we want, though this table is a very nice, antique teak table so we may just keep it. So now all we need to buy is our couch and an armchair for the living room! The apartment has its own laundry room with full sized washer and dryer, and the kitchen has a microwave, so we don't need to buy appliances.
Now all that's left to do before we leave is finish packing everything up, load it in our cars, deliver our big furniture to the people who want it (WE STILL HAVE A COUCH TO GIVE AWAY!)
Oh, and today is my last day at Baby Gap Westfarms!!!!! Which is a good thing 'cause that place is getting kinda nuts...someone STOLE and ATE my chocolate I had sitting on the break table yesterday. I was about ready to flip out. IT WAS GODIVA. People are so mean.

I've applied for nine jobs so far. Two retail jobs (Nordstrom and Costco), a repectionist job with a CPA company, an Administrative Assistant at Seattle University, an Office Assistant at Boeing, a Records Maintenance Clerk with an Employee Spend Management company, a Secretary for the IRS, a Legal Assistant with Amazon, and a Legal Secretary with Liberty Mutual. Now I'm just waiting to hear back yes or no from any of them, and in the mean time, I'm looking for more jobs to apply for. I think my ultimate goal is twenty job applications. Then even if there's only a 5% shot I'll get a job, I'll at least get an offer from ONE of them. A nighmarishly funny scenario, and yet AWESOME at the same time, would be getting an offer from each one and having to pick one out of twenty. Haha. Most of these jobs have starting salaries between $36,000 and $40,000 a year, which I would adore. It would also help me to not be freaking out about loan payments. And then I could get an apartment. And be all set to move.
Hello, Real Life.

Professor Nott gave me a B- for my senior paper.
I've already contacted him, as well as Irene Conley, to address this matter.
I will be DAMNED if I leave this university with that grade.

So last night I got alcohol poisoning.
And I'm pretty sure I almost died.
Not even kidding.
More later. Work now.

OMG LIFE.
Or a lack, thereof.
BabyGap really doesn't pay me enough. Seriously. I get paid $8.42 an hour, and I do pretty much everything. Including rallying in other sales associates, which is the job of a MANAGER. And I STILL get paid LESS than what I'd be getting paid at mininum wage in Washington. But I don't wanna bug them for a raise, 'cause really let's be serious for a second, I should be getting paid at least $10 an hour, and I think it's highly unlikely they're gonna give me that big of a raise. So I'm trying to suck it up 'til I move and can get paid between $15-$18 an hour. Ugh.
My senior paper is scaring the shit out of me. I have two weeks to get it done, haven't started writing yet, still in the research phase. Professor Nott is my advisor for it, and I met with him once, then emailed him my proposal, and he never emailed me back. I said I would meet with him a week ago and didn't, because he never emailed me back to tell me when he could meet, and I just don't have time to be randomly on campus waiting for him to have time for me. So my goal is just to write the paper, and turn it in, and if it pisses him of that I didn't consult more with him, then so be it. Except that really, really scares me. What if he fails me 'cause he's so pissed off???
And my online class...not going so well. I just do not have any motivation to do anything, except I NEED to pass so I can graduate! And my GPA, well that's shot to shit so there goes any real hope of law school. But honestly I just don't even care. I want to make money, lots of it, with minimal work involved. I really don't wanna have to go through three more years of school.
Oh, and then there's the little matter of my final paper for my politics class, which I haven't started yet. I think it's due next week? Thank God I have a good grade in that class right now.
Oh and then there's the issue of my finances.
Here's the thing...in two weeks, my life will be CAKE. Two weeks. I should be jumping for joy, but it feels like the whole world is weighing on my shoulders. Maybe I should skip Spring Fling and write my paper all weekend. Except that sounds REALLY depressing.
I'm so ready to get out of here, people. I've already mapped out the route and the stops we need to make, including which hotels we'll be staying at. Can I just leave now?

Ugh
I just keep having all these flashbacks to life there and how awesome and laid back it is and how happy everyone is in general and I just want my old life back! I'm gonna miss people here but my heart is DEFINITELY in the Northwest. I look at people's pictures on facebook of sunsets and Lake Washington and mountains and downtown Seattle and I just want to cry. I'm glad I saw a little more of the country, and I'm gonna come back and visit, but I'm so excited to get back home. This is what I have to do before I can move back:
1. Finish my portfolio for PL 200
2. Write my senior paper
3. Write my final paper for POL 250
4. Take my final for POL 250
5. Pass my online class
I just wish I had it all done so I could just waste my time daydreaming and having fun.

I'm going to Florida in 29 days!!!!!!!! First to Palm City for 4 days, then to Disney World for 5 days!
Because I'm going to Florida, I've gone to the gym every day but one this past week, and I will try to go every day possible until I get on that plane.
I found this really cute Betsey Johnson bathing suit I want, except the top is sort of lingerie-like. I'm still deciding.
I have two classes at the moment and I have literally nothing to do.
I think if I can get into law school, I will enjoy it and love being a lawyer :-)
Until then, I'm applying for positions as human resource people, bank people, etc etc etc.
Okay that's my life in a nutshell I have to go to 1 of my 2 classes now. Bye!

The week before my birthday, he started talking to Katie Cox, got her phone number, had lunch with her twice that week. Then the week after we went on our "break" he had lunch with her again, and I guess was talking to her in the mail room every time he worked there. He says he was just seeking advice about our relationship. But I feel so betrayed. He lied to me about where he was, snuck around behind my back, told a girl I hardly know all about our relationship, and then when I found out, he kept lying about the details, for four days he kept lying. Every day was a new lie. I even called her to ask her what the hell she was thinking (since she knew he was sneaking around, because he asked her not to tell me or say anything or let me find out), and she told me stuff that contradicted what he had told me. And she didn't even feel sorry for what she did. She didn't take any responsibility. I know it was Eammon's fault, but if someone tells you they're gonna sneak around behind their girlfriend's back with you, you should say no. And, she's an SAI. So, she's my sister, she had met me before, knew she was my sister, and still did this. I'm so hurt and betrayed, and he says he didn't cheat but I have no proof. All I know is I can't trust him because even when he's caught in a lie, and cries and swears to God that he's telling the whole truth, I STILL find out he was lying, even then. I'm having a really hard time. We've been fighting about this for a week now. I can't just let him go, but I can't let THIS go either. And I'm so mad at her. How dare she get involved in my relationship? How dare she do something so completely inappropriate? The first two times they had lunch together he and I were STILL TOGETHER. She says it was innocent. But I don't trust her, because apparently after we got back together she approached him TWICE to ask him if he was sure he was doing the right thing by getting back together with me. I'm so incredibly hurt. I don't know if we're going to survive this.
