Erratic Prose [first of 2017] | edition 6
Well, here I sit in my new home, which I have gotten quite settled into, thankfully. I'm still learning my way around the new neighborhood, and challenging myself to find my way back home without using my GPS. So far, I've impressed myself with how directionally talented I have become so hurray for me.
Also, I've been giddy with excitement at all the places I've encountered that are literally minutes away from me, such as – Ross, Nordstrom Rack, Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle, and Barnes & Noble. The other day, I spent 6 (literal) hours in Barnes & Noble. I walked down aisle after aisle, grabbing books of interest and finally sat in a corner of the store with a nice little pile around me. I was in paradise. I also ended up buying 3 books by the end of my time there. I spent under $20 on them, so I was quite pleased.
A resolution I have for this new year is to make more time to read. When I was younger, my parents had to pry me away from my books, but now, I find myself geared towards my computer and Netflix rather than to reading. Going to Barnes & Noble that day really helped me rediscover my love for being nose deep in a good book, and I'm determined that these three I bought won't go unread. I've been making time to read and journal before going to sleep each night and so far, I enjoy how easily it has fit in to my schedule.
Oh guess what? I got a second job! Yes, I'm still at my beloved Dutch (would never leave there, I promise), but I find my schedule not full enough so I decided to apply at Jamba Juice. I got the job the day after applying! I'm super excited about it and can't wait to start next week. All I need is an evening bartending job and I'll be serving every kind of drink out there, right?;)
I transferred campus locations this week as well. The one I was going to is about 1/2 hour away from where I moved to. But now, I'll be going to one within fifteen minutes of me. Cool fact: I get more of a winter break because the campus I transferred to doesn't start their term till the 23 of this month. Pretty sweet, huh?
By the way, do any of you use Apple Music? I recently signed up with it (and got a discount because I'm a student. Yes ma'am.) and have been in love with all the new music I've been able to discover and acquire. Give me some recommendations? What are some of your current faves right now?
We got a crazy snow and ice storm this last weekend. I had to trade a shift with a coworker because I wouldn't have been able to make it to work with the condition of the roads. Thankfully most of it has melted and I think we're on the path to warmer days. I'm ready for spring.
