Weekends and the Unknown

Working for a temp agency can sometimes be a little scary. Not the fact that I am working for the agency itself, but the fact that you never really know when your next job is going to come up. I finished up my first long term job with the Akron Children's Hospital this last week and am going to be doing some short time work for a law firm in the area. After that though I don't know whether I am going to have work for the rest of the week or if I will have to wait again. It is somewhat frustrating, but I am trusting that everything will work out.

Weekends are always fun and relaxing for me. They usually start out with going out with friends and enjoying myself on Friday nights and then relaxing in bed on Saturday mornings.... well until Scott wants breakfast. Anyway, I usually do some light cleaning and then relax the rest of the day. I have been trying to be better and actually do some homework on the weekends as well, but sometimes it seems a little difficult to inspire myself. I am trying though and once I get the first project out of the way I am sure I will be more on board for doing the rest. Papers have always intimidated me.

Anyway, this weekend I made Biscuits and Gravy for Scott at his parents house, then we hung out and watched football all afternoon. I am actually learning alot about the sport and am enjoying it more now that I understand some of the concepts in it. I know that I have a long way to go in order to understand everything, but I feel that I am doing fairly well. Anyway, Scott made dinner tonight. Flank steak and Rice Pilaf. It was very delicious. He doesn't cook a whole lot but what he does cook is wonderful. I am lucky to have him. Anyway, I have mass, cleaning, and schoolwork on my schedule for tomorrow, but just wanted to update everyone on my weekend thus far. Life is good!

Work, Work, and more Work

Life seems to be ever compromised of responsibility, work, and more work. My days don't vary much, with the odd exception every now and again. I get up around 6:30am every morning, take my shower, let the dog out, feed the dog, and finish getting ready. I am out the door usually around 7:30am and on my way to work. I get to work, walk a mile from the parking lot to the actual building, which is miserable when the weather is bad. Anyway, I get to work, make some much needed coffee and then proceed to process for a minute before my boss needs my assistance. From there on I am usually pretty busy in the mornings, but the afternoons are rough at times. I am sure that if I actually get the full time position, unlikely- but I can dream, that I will be busier. After a struggle through the afternoon, I head home and then have started working out for the hour I have between going back to work at my second job, cleaning banks. That usually takes me a couple of hours, so by the end of my day I have been going for 10 to 11 hours straight. This makes for a very exhausting week. Oh and lets not forget to mention that I have started grad school which takes up another 5 hours of time I don't have. There are days that aren't so bad and I actually feel like I am alive and can do something after everything get done that day. However most days I am tired and just need to sleep. My life is full of excitement.
Now I realize that this blog might seem a bit depressing, so let me lighten the mood by stating that in no way am I unhappy with my life. I have a lot of great opportunities ahead of me, and I have great people like my boyfriend Scott who is always there to lay my head on at the end of the day. Having him in my life makes everything else seem okay. He is my rock and gets me through any tiring day, and makes it good again. I love him with all my heart. I am also blessed with supportive family and friends. I have a great life, despite it being monotonous.
Being an adult is never as exciting as it seems, but I am enjoying being on my own and being able to make the choices I always wanted to make about my life. I am taking initiative and striving to make myself a better person, learning as I go. Cheers to life's journey and the road that gets us to our goal in the end.

Haircut

Today, Scott asked me to cut his hair. He is trying to save on money and he usually has a pretty short hair cut anyway. I used to cut guy's hair when I was in college, but its been forever. I told him I would do it. I mean you don't really forget how to do that kind of thing. It turned out really well, but I got hair everywhere. I guess though the good thing about this is that Scott will be able to save a lot of money when he needs a haircut, since I will do it for free. Lucky him. He indicated that since I let him cut my hair it was his turn to cut mine. HAHA! Yeah Right.

Labor day at the beach

Labor day this year was spent with wonderful people. Scott and his family all went to a local beach called Crystal Lake and had a picnic. I was invited and I had a great time. Laying out on the beach, playing some beach volleyball, laughing with his family, and just enjoying the sun and fun time with people you care about it a wonderful experience. With all my family being so far away, its nice to have people to share special times with. I am blessed to have such a wonderful boyfriend to share things with. Life is good here in the falls.
