Most recently, and most importantly, I got a new job! This is exciting for two reasons. One: it gets me out of the house, and two: I get to make some money! God knows I could use a few extra dollars. Today (Thursday) was my first day, and it was pretty good. I'm overwhelmed, tired, frustrated, not feeling like I'll ever get the hang of it... but that's how I feel about all jobs when I first start, so this isn't unusual. I work 6 days in a row, and by the looks of things, the last two will be by myself, so I need to get the hang of things really quickly. This would be easy if I didn't have a painful knee and I wasn't feeling terrible. Ugh. I didn't even go to choir tonight because I felt so terrible and my knee hurt so bad. Hoping I feel better tomorrow so that I can go back to work and feel okay when I'm there.
Secondly, As of today (Thursday, March 3rd) Alex and I have been together 11 months. 11 months is actually a long time, sure it's not quite a year, but when I think back on the last year (and a bit if you include the random dates and hanging out that preceeded our relationship for a few weeks or months, depending on who you ask or when you start counting...) of our relationship, it really feels like it's been a lot longer, and a lot shorter at the same time! Next month will be the big 1 year - big deal? Not a big deal? I'm not sure.
Thirdly, I've started to crochet a blanket. For those of you unfamiliar with crochet, it's a yarn craft, kind of like knitting, but with a a hook rather than two needles. It's really easy, and I really like doing it! I'd post a picture, but it looks really stupid right now... I'm sure you'll hear more about it as the project progresses and I'll post a photo of it when it's a little more completed and looks a little less stupid. I am determined to finish this project as I have a really bad habit of starting things like this and never actually finishing them... so I'm really buckling down to get it done. I'm looking forward to having something of my own creation that I can look at and say "I made that!" I think that would be a really great thing.
Fourthly (fourthly?) There is less than 2 months till I start school, and I am getting stoked. I really want it to be here now so I can get myself all into it... but alas, I must hold out a little bit longer. Oh well. Instead, I will put myself into my work, my blanket and reading my books until my life is over run with the busyness of work and school and all the other things that summer will bring for me to the point of severe tiredness (which is generally what tends to happen when I bite off more than I can chew... or as my grandma says when I "burn the candle from both ends" as this is not unusual for me.)
Anyway, I felt like I should leave you with two things:
Firstly (or fifthly if you're keeping track from above.. I'm really not sure what happens with these words after thirdly) a photo for your amusement. VancityBuzz posted this to the VancityBuzz blog (if you have twitter, and don't follow @VancityBuzz, you should! He often has good contests and things going on around metro vancouver!), and I thought it was hilarious, mostly because it's down the street from where I live, and because I'm not the biggest fan of transit. For anyone who has ever taken the bus in PoCo, or in the tri-city area in general... or really anywhere in the lower mainland that isn't the downtown core of Vancouver, this is for you:
Secondly, the video. Some of you may know Sara Bareilles from that song "Love Song" (you know... ♪ I'm not gunna write you a love song, 'cause you ask for it, 'cause you need one ♪... I'm sure this is unnecessary.) She just released a new song called Uncharted off of her new CD (which is really quite good!) and the video was put out a couple of days ago. I saw it through a Facebook post from a Canadian band that I'm quite fond of, Tegan and Sara, who have some cameos in the video. Along with Tegan and Sara, there are cameos by Ben Folds, Josh Groban, Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland, that lipsync kid from YouTube, Adam Levine from Maroon 5, and Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic, along with a few other people I don't know but who might be of interest to you! I'm going to leave you with this great music video of amazing lipsyncing to an amazing song. Enjoy!
Enjoy the rest of your first week of March, and the wonderful weekend ahead. I know that I'll try despite the upset tummy and the hurt knee! =)
Blog, and be happy! (and Canucks, please start winning!)
