Hot Hot Heat Stroke...

Well... Since I'm not running, I guess I should write about it!

July, thus far, has been very chill which is just what I needed after a very eventful/busy June. The day after Summerfest with Betsy, I started my new job on the 1st. I'm still in the training process which will take a few months because there is a lot of stuff I need to know so I don't waste student's time and money. Basically what I do is compare the transfer students previously taken courses to Columbia College's courses, then figure out how many more and what classes they need to take in order to graduate with a certain degree. So far, I really like the people I work with. Since we are in cubes, there isn't too much communication going on but there is definitely the occasional pun or comment from across the room. I really like working close to downtown too because there are lots of lunch choices that I can walk to, even though I can tell it's really going to add up, calorie AND money wise.
For Lindsay's birthday, we had quite the eventful evening. After dinner at Addisons, went to Tin Can for skee ball and live music, then on to Columbia's new Hookah bar! It was a wonderful break from the bar scene for an hour before we headed to Quintons until closing time when we went to the new Mexican place downtown. They have a "dollar menu", if you will, and serve drinks. Then, on Sunday night we had a family style dinner around the table. It was a great time!

This weekend was moving weekend! I finally moved into my very own 2 bedroom apartment. Granted, I am currently sitting on the floor using a box to set my computer on because I have no furniture! It was only the hottest weekend of the year, but luckily I didn't have too much big stuff to move. I'm already on my second trip to Walmart to pick up miscellaneous odds and ends including a bathroom set, curtains, and a good amount of food based around sack lunch intentions. Since I don't have anything in my living room or 2nd bedroom just yet, I can't really plan decorations, placement, etc. I'm hoping I'll have enough man-power and horse-power tomorrow night to get my friends furniture over here. She is moving into a furnished apartment so my place will be much like a storage unit, which I'm fine with :) I also earned a couch and chair as payment for cleaning my listing.
Speaking of my real estate world, I've had 2 closings in the last 2 weeks and another one scheduled for next Thursday! This money couldn't have come at a better time, since I'm dishing it out on random needs/wants for my place, new tires, and other things that I've been putting off until I got a paycheck. Maybe I'll dye my hairs and bleach my teefers!? The possibilities are endless!
