Tonight was my first night at my new job. Pretty sure I only made $20 in the whole 6.5 hours I was there. Ridiculous!!! I am too tired to say much more, but hopefully tomorrow goes better.

It's almost my birthday!!! It's on Saturday. I am trying to get over the fact that it isn't going to be as exciting as it was last year, seeing as I am going to be the uneventful age of 22...oh yeah, and I don't have any friends in St. Louis (besides Justin).

the sweet sting of REJECTION. Damn grad schools. Oh well. 2 down, 5 left to hear from. I better get in at least one, or I guess I making a career change.

Valentines day this year was incredibly lovely. Justin gave me the perfect gift...small and handmade=perfect. He made me these trading cards of us, and all of our inside jokes. He even put a stick of gum in the pack to authenticate the trading card experience. He also gave me a pretty yellow rose. :) I feel so blessed to have him, he is so ( Read more... )

Things in Saint Louis are going really well. Our house is quite nice, although there are a few small repairs that need to be made. Also, we have no money to decorate, so the walls are a bit bare. Hopefully though, we will buy some canvases and the artist boyfriend should be able to whip something neat up. We are in desperate need of a couch for ( Read more... )
