On My Mind: Music & Sunshine

Ready for the latest embarrassing story? Ok so I was chillin in the Bronco Bash cubicle in the Student Organization Center, being my usual productive self and decided, "Hey, I'd like some music because it's pretty quiet in here." So I log myself onto Pandora Radio... And... NO SOUND?! Hmmm... Let's check the computer speaker cables... All plugged in. Let's check the volume... At a respectable level that I SHOULD be able to hear... Let's investigate the Control Panel settings for volume... Nothin fishy there.

That was when it became time to consult the new Homecoming coordinator Lizze Fowler, over chillin at the Homecoming station at the other end of the room. I asked for help, she walked in (she's super nice!)... and then she clicks the 'On' button at the top of the right speaker. WHAT?! Who would make speakers with invisible on buttons?! So... embarrassed. Oh well. I now have MUSIC! And today's temp is supposed to be in the 70's! No complaints there!

Oh but remember how I had a phone interview yesterday? It went well...except now I'm looking at my fall schedule, and I realize that there is basically no way the job shifts will work out for me. Bummer. I need to either give up on the additional fall job or I need to find something ELSE! A small committment that can provide a few extra dollars per week. FRUSTRATION! (It's really too bad because I have an in-person interview on Friday that I probably have to cancel now.)

Today is move-into-Sara's-apartment day. I'll be there until Sunday, and then I'm off to Michelle's house! My first off-campus living location! Should be quite the adventure--I've never lived in Portage before! But tonight I'll watch the American Idol finale with Sara, tomorrow I'll work and then hang out with Doty and Sara (maybe we could go to the grocery store...I'm all out of fruit for breakfast!) Then Friday I have that interview, which I probably won't do anymore. Nothin planned for Saturday.

But GUESS WHAT?! I got a PACKAGE IN THE MAIL last night from my fam! A super-cute outfit that fits, summer-y jewelry, makeup and some money to help out with some grocery shopping in the next few weeks! That was just soooo awesome, and I can't wait to call home today! And then last night Rory and I had a delicious mini-hot chocolate party, and I'm officially lovin white hot chocolate peppermint-flavored hot chocolate! Mmmmmm... SO GOOD!

Life is good. I gotta get rollin on my thesis and get this dumb scholarship in the mail, but other than that, the stress is minimal, the fun is aplenty, and the smiles are prevalent! PEACE!
