This time last year

I was sitting here, looking for an apartment and a job, thinking "geez, have I really made progress from last year when I was doing this same thing?"

I have determined that yes, I have made progress. Because I am not living with my dad and I am not working retail. I am also not still driving a minivan. What I have determined is that this cycle never stops. I guess it is human nature to try to find better, more fulfilling, and more lucrative jobs and better living situations. Hopefully a day will come when I have a job I can be happy with for a while and a steady place to live.

I think that is the day I will officially be old? I feel so old already...I may as well reap some benefits.

No Country for Old Men

I heard this movie gets better after you've had time to think about it. But the more I think about it, the stupider it seems. It doesn't seem to have much of a point. I mean, there was money, chase, and people died. And there was a creepy guy that liked to kill people for money and for "honor"? Still doesn't have much deeper meaning to me. I just don't get it...or maybe there is just nothing to get.

At least there were chicken fingers. And I got to see what English majors do with their evenings. All 10 of them...

Taking stock...

This week has been a good week. I didn't really think it would be, but even though relationships I have counted on for years are falling down around me, I still have so many things to be happy for.

I love everything about my boyfriend.

I love lunch hours now. They were depressing sitting in the windowless breakroom in the mall, but today I went to North Market, got a chicken gyro and a tropical smoothie, and walked to Goodale Park to read and eat on a beautiful day.

I love getting paid weekly.

I love playing tennis, even though I suck at it.

I love that I still have my 2 oldest friends in the world.

I love that my little brother is finally getting his life together.

I love that my mom is getting remarried to a great guy that loves her.

I love that it is spring and the weather has been perfect this week.
