So much has happened in the past week and I think I'm trying to just live day to day and accept that things will work out the way they are suppose to. Last week I worked some at Hilton, probably not as much as I should have, but it worked out okay. I had 4 job interviews last week. Two of them were dance jobs that were only a few hours a week and the other 2 were full time admin assistant positions. Now I'm just waiting to hear back regarding those positions, but if they don't work out I'm okay with it. I really want to teach dance, but unfortunately if neither of these positions work out I know the chances of me finding a job this school year are not very high. Not to say I won't keep looking, but just trying to be realistic. I did get a promotion at Hilton last week and start training for my new position tomorrow. There are some good and bad things with this promotion though. The bad things are that I can only work the 27.5 hours we are in training, I've been trying to work around 35-40 because I need the money so that is going to be an issue for the next month. Training is only 5 weeks and during that time I don't have to work weekends which is great since my weekends in Sept/Oct are already pretty busy. And as much as I like working from home, I get really bored being home all day and I spend most of the day in my pajamas. Training is at the corporate office from 9-2:30 M-F so I'm really looking forward to having somewhere to actually get ready and go to every day. I've been at Hilton less than 5 months so maybe there will eventually be a full time position that I can get promoted too. Patience is not my best quality, but at this point waiting is all I can do.

In addition to the job interviews adn working I've actually gone out and had a social life. It's been hard lately to get motivated to go out and do things. Partly because of money, partly because I just haven't been in the mood. Thursday night I met Dawn in Plano for dinner and had a great time talking with her about the most random things. My parents went to The Glass Cactus that night and I had planned on going to meet up with them but instead I came back to my apartment and watched college football. Friday after work I went to Sanger to my sis and brother in law's house to have dinner with them and my parents. Oh and to see my niece because it had been a while since I had got to hold her!


Saturday morning I worked and then watched College Football. I am probably much more excited about college football starting then I should be.  Then after I listened to the first half of the Aggie game, Ginger and I went to Dallas to see Erica! We stayed at her apartment for awhile and let the dogs play then we went to dinner and got cupcakes! I love that I live closer to Dallas now so I can go see her whenever I want. My bank account however does not allow me to go out in uptown as much as I would like. 
Last night I went to Frisco to see Kelly and her family and had a great time. I miss getting to see Kelly all the time and her family is so nice. We didn't do much other than eat, hang out, and talk but it was nice to see all of them.  Today I cleaned, did laundry, and went to the grocery store. Nothing exciting but a nice relaxing day.
