5 days and counting

5 days and counting...till my 22nd birthday that is :). I know it's been a while since I've posted, not much to report on I guess, well that and the fact that fast food work isn't exciting.

Things are still good, it's definitely hot here but I'm lovin the Southern Heat, it just takes some getting used to. or as Kara put it "you get used to coping with the heat not getting used to the heat" which is so true.

Exciting things I've done in recent weeks....
1. Saw My Sister's Keeper (good movie!)
2. Read 2 Jodi Picoult books (My Sister's Keeper, Vanishing Acts both I recommend)
3. Went to El Rodeo for lunch with Kara (great Mexican food!)
4. Visited Duke Chapel for the 1st time (what an amazing piece of architecture)
5. Went through the car wash for the very first time by myself (I survived!)

God blessings recently

1. 34+ hours at work for about 2 weeks now (it's taking it's toll physically but I know it's worth it)
2. A sweet voicemail from my best friend Molly
3. Great coworkers
4. The opportunity to volunteer at Duke with kids
5. Two friends Luke, and Nick returning to the states safely from other countries (Luke from Russia, and Nick from Uganda)

Job Search: unfortunately no new leads recently, but I'm not giving up. I applied for two clerical/administrative jobs at Duke, and hopefully will get the chance to apply at UNC healthcare and Toys R Us next week if I can get to the library (I can't download the applications on my mac). Trying not to get discouraged but it's getting difficult as I feel I am running out of options. Luckily I have friends and family encouraging me on a daily basis and reminding me that God is in control.

Can't wait for this coming week as it is my birthday and also will mark 1 month until my parents arrive!

The end..for now.
