Support Update 2

Good News!
I just wanted again to thank everyone who has supported me! i am excited to announce that we are at 66.7% That is 2/3s of the way! With a support goal of $1200, only $400 more is needed. I am so excited to see how the Lord is working. If you know anyone who might be interested in what is going on, feel free to give them my email. I would love to talk to them.

I will be praying for you all. I ask that you pray not only for me but for the people of El Salvador, that the Lord will start to soften their hearts for Him.

why i love seattle.

One of the things that i really love about living in seattle is the fact that a break here can turn into bus adventures! While most college students just leave campus and go to fast food or a park or something. I can take a speedy little bus to downtown and hang out at pikes place or check out the international district. I am constantly amazed by the realization that i live here.

So today was one of those days when a break was so necessary. So when my friend said she had to run so errands downtown i said "sure, i have a bus pass and do need a break." The first, and most notable, stop was a mere 5 minutes down the 13 into queen anne. We stopped at this cupcake shop called Wink. Its probably one of my favorite finds so far. And we were in luck because we happen to hit it during "happy hour!" A frosting filled 2 hours of buy 1 get 1 free. So we put our heads together and realized there are 2 of us, 4 different kinds of cupcakes and we can get 2 for free. Ya! for 3$ i enjoyed half of 4 different cupcakes. Feeling only slightly nauseous and hoping i didnt get bus sick, we continued our journey to downtown.


the rest of the trip was about finding her new shoes and buying books. It was lovely.

todays weather: cold and rainy and soggy.
was i properly equipped for the rain? no.
newest book on the "to read" list: "The Blue Sweater" by Jacqueline Novogratz.
most excited for: the extra shift i get at work and the continued med tech training this weekend.
least excited for: chemistry exam on friday.

Key?

favorite/least favorite moment of today:

So tonight i locked myself out of my apartment again...(3rd time this quarter.) anyway, my PA was not in so she couldnt get me the key which means we have to call our favorite people...campus safety and security. We called them and they said they would send someone over with the key to unlock my apartment and took my phone number. Since i did not want to just sit in the hall, and since they had my phone number, i figured they would be able to call me when they got there, so i could wait in my friend's room.

After waiting for like 45 minutes with no call. I decided to call again, just to see what was going on, all i wanted to do was go and make pancakes with Heaven. Upon calling them i was told that they had gone to my apartment and knocked on my door, and then when i didnt answer they left.

I was locked OUT of my house...why would i answer the door?

work.

today is Thursday...finally. I know most people hope for Fridays or the weekends or something, but I cheer for Thursday, especially this week, and here is why. At the beginning to March i started my new job at a local assisted living facility. I LOVE it. It is a lot less hectic than my old job at a skilled nursing home. Its fun just to be able to walk around and hang out with the residents. yes, there is some lifting and wiping and such, but its not near as much as before and i really enjoy the time i can just sit and hang out with the residents or other staff members.

(how could you not love them?)

So one of the other things that I love about my new job is the schedule. I only work 2 days a week, but still get 16 hours. Yay! I work Saturdays for 3-11pm, and then also on tuesday mornings from 7-3, and then go to class. Because of this i have to make sure that i get all my homework done for tuesday and wednesday on monday, i also have to make sure i go to bed early (like 9:30-10) so that i can get up at 5:30am to go to work.

Cranky Me + Cranky Old People + smells + 95 degree rooms = awful day

However...

Well rested me + cranky old people + Smells + 95 degree room = I still love this job.

see the difference?

Additionally, this week i started training as Med Tech! (that just means i sit in the med room and hand out meds...its prestigious) So that was last night. It was really fun also, and a lot less physically demanding. Also i learn how to do things like place a suppository, which i did for the first time last night! (dont know what that is?...dont worry about it)

In conclusion, thursdays rock because i dont have class until 5:30pm and can just hang out in my pjs eating food and trying to catch up on homework that was skipped because of work and things. I am so thankful for my new job, i love it so much. The people that i work with and for are wonderful. I dont know if i want to go geriatrics for forever, but right now, it couldn't be better.

Have a good week!

PS. Christmas vacation is on Comedy Central right now, if you havent seen the movie i suggest you watch it. It will change your life.

Do you see the face?
