leftöver kelly: changes!

i'm back! i'm done being a slacker-blogger. let's do this thing for real...again.

-summer classes were so annoying. but i annihilated accounting with an A and got a B in micro econ. i'm not happy about the latter, i guess it'll be okay, though.

-i was told that i wasn't allowed to be a server at station square so i turned in my application to over 20 places here in boardman. i interviewed at Rotelli and they hired me. then the crab company called me and wanted an interview. for being a local business, they run their place like a corporate business. i was told that i'd only be on friday and saturday nights for training. i can't do that. as soon as i put my two weeks in at station square, they wanted to work out a deal with me to get me to stay. so working somewhere else both weekend nights wouldn't work out for me. i just had a bad feeling when i left that interview anyway. youngstown sports grille called me shortly after saying they were having open interviews. due to a time conflict i couldn't make it, though. the crab company DID call me back, but i couldn't answer and they didn't leave a message. i'm content with just keeping rotelli and station square, though. i'll be keeping my hostess days and filling in when servers need off at the square. one of the managers even said that i should be trained behind the bar, too, now that i'm 21, since they always need bartenders. i'd be cool with that. tonight is my first shift at rotelli! am i the only person who as a little girl thought, "wow, i want to be a waitress when i grow up!" i'm not sure why i had such a weird fascination with this career when i was young, but this is almost some sort of validation..

-the main reason i applied in boardman and took a job in boardman is because i assumed we would be staying out here for a while. then, to our surprise, my mom and step dad offered to give us the down payment for a house. how freaking awesome is that? our landlord also said that we could most likely get out of our lease with as little as just having to pay an additional month's rent and possibly giving up our security deposit. fine by us. we looked at a house that was way out of our reach after finding out our pre-approval number and the limit to which mom and jeff would be willing to give us. which is fine because i'd rather get something smaller now, save up a bunch and then get a huge house of our dreams.

buying a house might be the most exciting thing i have ever done. even if it's not the one of our dream just yet. we've been so excited that we bought stuff already!
