Whoopsies.

I kind of forgot I had a blog. It's been like 2 months since I last updated. Well, here's an update.

I moved to Brookings in the beginning of June. I came up early thinking I would have a head start looking for jobs before all the other college kids came up. Unfortunately, that's not what is happening. I have applied for 7 or 8 jobs around town. All have come up empty but one. I finally, after almost 4 weeks, have and interview at a facility like Ex Op here. It's not my ideal job, but I guess I will take it if I get it. I applied for a dietary aide job at a nursing home, they are doing interviews "In the next couple of weeks". I don't have a couple of weeks to wait, but that would be the job I would love. It would go perfectly with my major and I could count it as job shadowing. Do I wait for the better job that I don't even have an interview for or do I take the one I have now? I am confident I would get the dietary aide job. Working at Ex Op over-qualifies me for that job. I am just not sure what to do. And the dietary aide job would fit much better in my schedule.

Other than that...I had orientation 2 weekends ago. Cody had it as well so I got to spend the weekend with him which was much needed! As for orientation, it went as well as expected. I was a little disappointed with how the transferring of credits went. Most things transferred. Like the easy stuff. But, things like chemistry and micro biology didn't transfer in right. So I have to take Chem again.

When I first moved into my apartment I noticed there were a lot of dead bees in the window sills. I didn't think much of it at first. But as time went on I kept getting live bees in my bedroom. One even landed on Cody's leg. When my mom came up for orientation, she noticed this next to my window...

A beehive larger than a basketball.  

That is my bedroom window. Little scary. Needless to say, I called the maintenance people, they called an exterminator and it was gone the next day. Here are some pictures of my apartment now.

As for all of that, there isn't much more to add. This weekend is good ol' Burt Days so I will be coming home for that (my great grandma is the queen) and maybe another little visit with someone special :). Shhhhh.
