in the right direction...but still up in the air
life is slowly coming together. i am no longer coloring dora in blaine but have moved in with my aunt, uncle and cousin. everything seems to be going well and i am very close to the pool that i am coaching at, which was not planned at all and is actually a nice perk. the drive to work is also pretty smooth...494, besides the bright, blinding sunlight in the eyes every morning is pretty easy going besides the hold up in bloomington.
so far i've coached 3 days and have enjoyed all of them. the coaches are amazing and, well...nice. which is a contrast from my last coaching experience. i'm trying to learn all of the kids names as fast as i can so i can easily get their attention to correct them. right now i'm in a funk where i will mention what i see to my co-coach and we chat about whether we need to mention it to the swimmer. it's been a little hard to get back into my coaching personality. each day is getting better.
other than that, i'm itching to get my own place. i haven't had a bedroom that is actually MINE since may. i'm not complaining as i am fortunate to everyone who has helped me out...but i really really miss my bed and all of it's down feathers. i have to wait another month before i can actually start figuring that out though...i need to figure out where i will be working. no word has really been said about whether i will stay at where i'm interning, all i know is that i will need a job! the downtown life was appealing to me, but now a place close to the pool is starting to look good. everything can change in a month though :)

friday five
cost
1. What’s something you suspect you regularly overpay for?
umm...gas???
2. What’s something you suspect you regularly underpay for?
i've got nothing...everything is expensive! i sometimes think that the clearance items are still too expensive!
3. What’s taking up more of your time than it should?
Probably driving...but I enjoy it. That and i think i'm on the computer too much!
4. What’s causing you stress only because you let it?
The job hunt.
5. If all your karma were based on your positive and negative attitudes, would it be in good shape, in bad shape, or perfectly in balance?
I'm a pretty positive person, so I would say good shape but we all know that there is a little negativity everywhere, so I would guess in balance with a slight lean to the positive side:)
there's another friday five, but i don't like it as much. i guess i'll answer it when i find the questions amusing.

last weeks friday five
I used to do these all the time until the site shut down. Now two new ones have open up...giving me something to blog about again! so here is last weeks friday five...and tomorrow i'll do this weeks.
1. What were the circumstances surrounding your last all-nighter?
My last all nighter was for school purposes...I was working on a project while portfolio semester, so my time was very limited. I spent many nights in my office until the wee hours of the morning until my advisor told me that i HAD to get at least 5 hours of sleep a night.
2. What’s your favorite stay-awake-and-alert food or drink?
I don't have a favorite...it's usually water or diet pop with some sort of snack...popcorn, crackers, candy...
3. What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?
homework! but not anymore. now if i'm up, there usually isn't a good reason for me to be up. but i find i do some of my best art/designing at night.
4. In what way does your personality change when you are sleep-deprived?
not by much...in some cases, i go into overdrive and get a little crazy.
5. If you get home extremely tired and extremely hungry, which need are you most likely to satisfy first?
haha...food! it's always food. at night anyway...i'll stay up to make sure i get everything done at night before i sleep...but if i'm tired during the day, and i have time, i will make sure i take a nap.

Being Silly
This is my little cousin Savanna and I, playing with her Dad's web cam. She really amazes me. Every day she asks when I will be coming home and waits for me...then she follows me around once I'm home, waiting patiently for me to have time to play with her! I love it.
Here goes week 3 of work. Hopefully I won't mess anything up this time. I also start waitressing Thursday and I'm trying to get into Biolife so that I can make some gas/food money. I can't wait for my first paycheck!

swim coach
i got the swim coaching job! that makes me pretty excited. however, i'm not excited to kiss away my friday nights until 7 pm. that means if there is any weekend traveling, i won't arrive anywhere until late.
but i'm so freakin excited! foxjets are the biggest and fasted team in minnesota...and minnesota is a fast state. the team has sent 2 swimmers onto olympic trials.
woohoo! no i just have to figure out where i will be living in september. i'm thinking eden prairie with the relatives for the month...then my new roommate should have bought her house in st. paul.
and yes, julie mae, i will call you...just have to get my definite schedule figured out...should start next week.
and yes...i miss bad medicine and you, deedee. if i don't have to work on saturday or sunday, i'll think about driving up...but i'm thinking it might be best to stay here.

week 2 - the city life
so far so good. i have my own office. i work 3 days a week. and...i have an interview for a swim coach position with the fastest team in minnesota. i have my own room, a sleep number bed, a bathroom with heated floor tiles all to myself, my computer is here, i have a tv in my room, and every night my little cousin waits for me to come home so we can color dora the explorer.
yup, can't complain too much.
(but making money would make everything a lot easier...)

internship!
i finally landed something in my field. in about 2 weeks, i will be starting my internship, which should hopefully lead into a job. i'm excited...even if they find themselves unable to hire me in the end, it's experience, it's contacts, and it's a shot in the right direction.

still unemployed
and i'm getting slightly sick of hanging out at home. it's not bad, kind of relaxing, but my friends aren't here, or if they are, they are busy, and i really want to be on lake bemidji.
speaking of friends...
my friend steph posted this on her blog. it's a scale to rate your friends in your life:
1: A friend also known as an aquaintance. Maybe you don't talk to them. Maybe you do. But when you do, it's only because one of the two of you need something from one another. You don't usually hang out.
2: A friend who you call occassionally. Maybe you'll hang out now and again. You know a lot about them. They'd help you out in a pinch.
3: A friend who you hang out with often. Knows you well. Calls/talks to you often. This is the person who'd bail you out of jail, and not ask to be paid back.
I have very few number 3's. I do find it disappointing when you want so desperatly for a person to be one of your number 3's and yet, no matter what you do, no matter how many times you call them, they don't consider you a number 3. so they can't be your number 3. i tell you, living in another town, moving on from the town that you called home for the past 5 years, where many of your friends still reside, you find out who your real number 3's are. and they are all amazing.
still nothing new on the job front. i'm not moving to reno, i guess if you call that new. the board of directors wanted a senior marketing director, that which i am not. so now i'm looking at the cities again. when ever i see a job in another state, it looks tempting, but then i chicken out. so...i guess it's the cities.
my birthday is in a week. i think i might need to go back to bemidji for that weekend. celebrate a little, as i'm not sure if i will be doing a whole heck of a lot of that here.

but i don't want to be unemployed for long. the money situation does worry me. and i do have a lead on a job. i should here back on more of that today. i really want this job. it will involve a move to reno, but i'm pretty psyched for it.
plans for today:
-pack
-lunch with a friend
-if it's nice out...i'm laying outside for a bit
-go to old workplace to pick up rest of my stuff
-oil change
-walk
-call landlords to check out how to get my deposit back
life is grand.

graduation time
in a couple of hours i will go to my last final (ok, not a final, but my group has to do a little bs presentation) and then i will be done with classes, which is pretty exciting.
the not so exciting part is trying to figure out where i am going. right now it's looking like home, until i get this job situation figured out with my uncle. he wants to hire me as his marketing director, which is not only flattering but pretty exciting. the bad news is that i will be moving somewhere completely new, where i won't know anyone. my plans were to move down to the city, live in a fabulous house with a friend and i would keep myself busy meeting up with all my friends who live down there and going to twins games. but now it's looking like reno...
which i said is exciting. i would be making good money from the sounds of it, so i do have a list of things that i would do if i moved to reno:
-new car (i don't think the breeze will make it unfortunatly...)
-the apartment would need 2 bedrooms, one for the visitors. and a pool. i'm not living in the desert without a pool.
-a puppy to keep me company
-45 minutes from lake tahoe? ok!
-pay off bills... :(
but as i said...no friends. no one i know except my great aunt and uncle. good thing for family. but this whole job is so scary/exciting/overwhelming/________. i'm not sure what to think....all i know is that if i'm offered it, i will take it because years from now, i don't want to be kicking myself for not taking a leap and experiencing life.
i just wish i knew where i was moving. soon.
(((my portfolio went great by the way -- i made my dad cry, but that's not a hard thing to do. the picture is of me and my banner i made for the gallery displaying...well, me.)))

happy valentine's day!
just thought i would get that out there. here's what is new in my life:
i officially have a roommate: MS. LINDSI JO GISH! you have no idea how excited the two of us are. we're in the process of house (townhouse, condo) hunting. we're trying to find the perfect place in a perfect city. it's going to be the most fabulous house ever because we both kind of want to find some sort of special house that needs a little bit of a fixer upper...i love diy and so does she...so FRICKEN EXCITED!
other than that...just working on my portfolio and getting everything done for graduation. a long ways away, i know, but i have lots to do...maybe even score a job in the process? we'll see.
but other than that...happy valentine's day. and if you're the down in the dumps type...just remember that someone out there loves you. maybe not me... but someone ;)

more reasons to hate monday
i finally made it out of bed this morning. it took awhile. i was going to go swimming and texted the 2 guys i go swimming with to see if they were going. either they did and didn't want me to come with, or they didn't get up to go swimming either. either way i wish they would at least text back.
one of my roommates ate my pineapple pizza that i had saved for myself in the fridge especially for breakfast this morning. i was completely looking forward to it...that and it was probably the only thing i really had ready for breakfast. except i didn't get it. because someone ate it. who eats other people's food? i don't eat theirs. makes me mad.
i get on campus (and i think my eyelashes were starting to freeze together...damn its cold!) and attempt to drop off my painting stuff so i don't have to lug it around. the painting room door is still locked. i guess i have to drag this monstrosity around with me.
class was cancelled. yes, i am happy, but at the same time...i could have just slept in. and i almost did except i told myself i wasn't going to miss a class this semester.
i went and bought a cappucino. i tastes horrible. ick. almost 3 dollars of grossness.
and now i'm sitting at work. at least i get an extra 2 hours on my paycheck.

my last first day of school
tessa dragged me out of bed at 6:30 this morning to work out. it was pretty liberating. all in all i did about 4 miles!
came home, showered, listened to some vh1 music videos as i dried my hair and did my make-up. i went for the sweatshirt and jeans look for now...i'll change later tonight.
then i made myself a slice of wheat french toast and made my lunch (veggie burger and leftover broccoli cashew salad with a diet cherry coke). packed that up, turned everything off and then ran to the postoffice to mail a book that was supposed to be mailed last week (oops!).
at work, i finally finished my preliminary portfolio webpage. it's pretty cool cause it's in flash!! check it out here...then leave me some comments on what would be cool to do with it:

my one class today? jewelry and metal making. boring. went over the syllabus and safety proceedures. all of what should have taken 45 minutes. but no...we have an adhd teacher who rambled on for half an hour on who should get into the class (we had extras wanting to get in...the class usually only takes 14 students...we had a 4 extras today). gross.
but now...done with work. i'm going to go see if my loan check came. then i'm going to deposit it and then possibly go swimming. then...date night with jennie! i think a marg would be the perfect way to celebrate my last first day of school! one semester left!
tessa dragged me out of bed at 6:30 this morning to work out. it was pretty liberating. all in all i did about 4 miles!
came home, showered, listened to some vh1 music videos as i dried my hair and did my make-up. i went for the sweatshirt and jeans look for now...i'll change later tonight.
then i made myself a slice of wheat french toast and made my lunch (veggie burger and leftover broccoli cashew salad with a diet cherry coke). packed that up, turned everything off and then ran to the postoffice to mail a book that was supposed to be mailed last week (oops!).

i have decided that i need to get out of this stupid funk that i'm in and realize that people have much bigger problems than me and that they need my help right now.
but i swear. i hate boys. they don't realize just what emotional turmoil they are putting on me. especially when i don't know you and you call me things such as "conceeded," "bipolar," and "the most unsocial person i know" when i tell you i'm tired. asshole.
that and they just don't listen to what exactly i'm trying to tell them before they act. stupid boys.
but i think things are starting to look up.
and then my radio died again in my car.

life hates me
i think i had one of the worst days ever. it involved learning that my favorite manager was quiting, problems with certain people that i won't elaborate on, my cd/radio decided to quit with my new keith urban cd in it, and i dismissed a boy from my life (he decided to date someone else and not tell me...and then tried to break it off with me by blaming me. as if. he has way more to be blamed about). tessa and i will be dropping his things off at his place tonight whether he wants them or not.
i hate crying.
BUT today is a new day. my cd/radio started working again, although it was reset, i slept in a little bit, and its nice to know that i will not be lied to from someone i love for a very long time.
and i'm sure the tears will eventually subside.
although i do want to get the hell out of bemidji right now.
and, please, i don't want to hear any good for yous or anything. he's still my friend. and it just makes me cry again.

for a kiss to be really good...you want it to mean something. you want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head. so that when your lips finally touch, you feel it everywhere. a kiss so hot and so deep that you never want to come up for air. you can't cheat your first kiss, nicole. and trust me, you don't want to...because when you find the right person, that first kiss? it's everything.
