Hello, hello

I have been pretty busy lately. For all that I'm working part-time, I still feel like work is keeping me busy. I've also started tutoring this high school girl, which came up kind of randomly, but the extra money (without taxes taken out!) is nice. I'm tutoring her in reading comprehension and test-taking skills, and she wants me to look at some of her writing as well. I was a bit nervous at first, because it's been awhile since I've taught any of this (about 4 years, in fact!) but I am happy with how much everything has been coming back to me. I've met with her twice now, and we have gone over 10 minutes each time because I have so much to say about the material. It's nice, keeping my brain active, which is sometimes more than what I can say for my other job. It is definitely not brain surgery, and sometimes I am a bit bored with it because it is not super challenging. I guess that's why I am still looking for another job. Speaking of which, I have an interview a week from Wednesday, but it is for a part-time school social work job, so I'm not sure how excited to be. If nothing else, it is good interview experience. We shall see. I think God is definitely telling me to keep trusting Him right now, but it is hard when sometimes I just feel so stuck in a rut. I'm 26, living at home, no full-time job, no boyfriend. I'm ready for some sort of change. I'm beginning to realize that I get bored super easily. I am always seeking constant entertainment, which contributes to my restlessness in my life. I'm not sure how to remedy this, though. If anyone has any ideas, please share with me.

Update

I feel like I should update because I haven't in awhile, but I'm not quite sure what to say right now. I've been busy, but with nothing super exciting. I went to a wedding on Saturday as a guest of a friend, and it was a bit weird because I didn't really know anyone. It was fun getting to wear a new dress, though, and successfully put on black liquid eyeliner. I need more places to wear that kind of make-up. On Sunday, I went into Chicago to meet with some friends from when I studied abroad in France in 2000. I can't believe it was that long ago. So, I've had my nose pierced for 6 years now.

I went to my first real day of work yesterday. I was a bit nervous for it, because I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was pretty low-key. I think I'll be doing a lot of giving medication, because they have to take it at 5 and at 8, which takes awhile with all the clients I have. I think I will like working with them. When I was leaving work yesterday, walking to my car, I heard my name called. When I looked back, one of my clients was poking her head out of her apartment door and calling good-bye to me. That was pretty cute.

And as for those of you dying to know about my swimsuit issues, after waiting three months for that juicy swimsuit, I ended up not loving it and sent it back. I am now waiting for this swimsuit instead. The good thing is it costs one third the amount of the other swimsuit. I guess more expensive isn't always better. Okay, I swear this will be my last post about swimsuits! At least, this summer....
