apparently, everybody i work with gets to have some time off. well, not me. im looking at minimum 65 hour work weeks up until the new year.

the upside: lots of overtime and holiday pay.

the downside: missing out on lots of fun time.

i think the new year has many promising prospects, and things are definitely looking up.

if only i can muster up the strength to clean my godman apartment, and decorate for xmas. i need to get a tree and more lights. garunteed none of it will be red and green, more along the lines of green and pink and gold.

i managed to get some pretty sweet gifts, thanx to my xmas bonus and my first credit card, which i will probably regret having.

i did buy a few things for myself two... i deserve it right?

my wish list, not that i will be getting any of this, but:

• an ipod sound dock
  
• laptop
  
• diamonds, or anything that sparkles or glistens
  
• sunshine
  
• a pretty dress
  
• time with friends and family
  
• camera
  
• haircut
  
• new scissors(to cut hair with)
  
• any sort of artwork for my walls
  
• perfect pair of jeans

actually the list goes on, but ill stop there. im such a product of this consumer culture. i do really want a sound dock for my ipod though, and a camera. maybe i will just buy those for myself. maybe not.

i think i shall nap more before the dreaded night of studying.

and that's just how it is. one door closes and a better one opens.

looks like i've landed a better job. a much better job, making somwhere between 10 and 13 an hour. and i get benefits and such. awesome.

i will be an aide for a prominent laywer who was injured in a motorcycle accident 12 years ago. his wife is a anchor, i won't name, god forbid they see this and think it's weird.

anyway, they have a really nice house, and I get to hang out and help out and cook! good food too. he loves seafood, and lamb and thai, and everything I like. Plus, he's incredibly intelligent, and funny too.

and, they are cool with my vaca time coming up. i'm a lucky girl.

it will be a great job to have while i'm balancing school and work in the fall.

p.s. this summer is gonna fucking rock!

p.p.s. go eat at ming tea cafe, so tasty!!

and drink lots of wine. wine is good.
