A Summer Briefing

Since we're nearing the end August and I've hardly updated all summer, I believe an update is in order.

I'm not quite sure where to begin, but I suppose my employment status is a good place.

I got a job at the Clark County Fair this year working at the elephant ear booth. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into once I got hired, seeing as it was only a ten day job and they basically didn't tell us anything about the job until we showed up for work. I've had jobs before, and this one was certainly the worst I've ever had (and the best paying), but at least it was only a temporary job.

The only reason I hated the job so much was constantly getting yelled at by multiple managers whenever they were feeling stressed.

I basically whined the entire duration of the fair and I will NEVER work for them again, but I have a nice paycheck coming, so I guess that will allow the fair-induced wounds to heal a bit quicker.

Oh, and I just got hired by the Burgerville Nomad Team!

So now I have a permanent job, and an awesome one at that.

I'll be working in the Nomad (basically an ice cream truck sort of thing for Burgerville food) and traveling around the Northwest to events like concerts, festivals, parks, etc.

I screamed for about ten minutes when I found out I'd been hired, and I have orientation coming up.

I LOVE having a steady job finally!

Next up on this summer update should be my love life I suppose.

As per usual with my love life, I really don't have a whole lot to update on.

The majority of the summer has been boy-less.

The summer started off with some good potential, and I really liked the guy with said potential.

But, now we don't talk and I'm still not completely sure why.

And thus concludes the only thing close to a love life I've had ALL summer.

Now we can discuss literature.

I think I've only read around eight books this summer, but I assure you the reading WILL PICK UP.

I've been working which has seriously put a dent in my reading time, but I just finished a book today and started another, so I'm at least on the right track.

I don't know as if I've ever been this excited for school to start back up.

Don't get me wrong, I'm completely enjoying not having homework or finals, but I need school to come back.

I never thought I'd say it, but I really do miss Clark.

I feel like I've run out to energy to talk about myself, but I hope the next entry will be much more interesting.

I've got some books to read.
