So the other day I received a call from a friend of mine, who knew I qualified for work study about a job opening. As you could imagine I accepted and am now one of the desk assistants for a residence hall. It's actually the front desk for 5 different residence halls, so it can get a little hectic. Today is my first day, from 1-3 I had a shift but was working with help. Now I'm on to my 5-7 shift and I'm all by myself. It's only 11 minutes in, but only two people have walked in. It was considerably busier earlier today, but I suppose its a good thing right now. I have always wanted to have some sort of front desk job, even if only for a year. Something about it just excited me. Well I should probably get back to sitting around watching the door. I don't have much else to say. School has been going well, the walk to class continues to get easier each day, and my roommate and I still haven't killed each other!

I'll try to post more, but I feel like nothing new or monumental happens to me anymore since this is my sophomore year. Everything that happened last year was so new and blog-worthy. I'll try to keep everyone updated though! :)

I promised I would update this, and I haven't been doing the best job of doing that, my apologies. Now probably isn't the best time in the world to start writing a new update but I've found inspiration so I must. It's 7:25 AM and I'm up waiting for the best time to start walking to class. My first class of the day is Accounting which is stressful and yet strangely intriguing to me.

I could go on about my classes but it's all boring, in more exciting news, yesterday I earned about 20 cents buy purchasing an Arizona Iced Tea from our friendly campus Starbucks. How did I do this, you ask? I'll tell you. All I did was grab a can of the iced tea, and hand it to the young woman working the register. My total was $1.07 so I handed her a five dollar bill. In return she hands me four one dollar bills (already incorrect) and a whole bunch of coins, which I later discover includes over 4 quarters and totals about $1.20. Soooo, thanks to this woman's incompetence, instead of getting the $3.93 back in change that I expected, I received $5.20 and made a quick profit! And then later my friend Brenda bought me Taco Bell for driving her to Moscow. Although I did spend about $70 bucks total yesterday on Gas, a poster and a hair product.... needless to say the rest of this month will be tight, but I'm in college and that's what it's all about!

I'll talk to you guys later!
