Hey Everyone!

Posted on by

So here is a brief update on what is going on with me. As usual, I am busy with school and work. At work right now, I am training to take over the reporting and stuff that the department lead would be doing. This is because our lead is becoming a supervisor for a different area. Which is great.

When I look back to when I first started working here, I figured I’d have a job just for the busy season and then once it was over and done with, I’d be let go since I was the low man on the totem pole in the department. And by some twist of fate, I managed to keep my job through the layoffs and move my way up in the department. Continue reading →

Heat Wave….

Posted on by

Hi there everyone!

Today was the first sign that the massive heat wave we’ve been experiencing might give us a bit of a break.  I really hope so because it has been unbearable to go outside.  Between 100 percent humidity and temperatures in the high 90′s we were getting heat indexes exceeding 110 degrees F.  It was making it extremely difficult to do anything, including go to work.  Working in a warehouse can really suck sometimes…

So what do I have going on right now?  Well I am starting to study for the knowledge test to work towards getting my license.  I have to get a instruction permit first and have it for at least 3 months before I can get my actual license.  I am also going to be purchasing a car with my next financial aid check.  I have also been discussing some options with my lead at work that look very promising.  Besides that, I just finished a literature class for college.  I loved the class and it was really very interesting.  Tuesday was the first day of my next class, which is a philosophy class.  It ought to be very interesting.

Other than that, there really isn’t much to report, work has been steady, school has been busy and life has just all around been very busy.  I really miss some of the things I used to have time for, like geeking out and playing World of Warcraft and doing other various things.  But right now, I am so in love with my life that I can’t really say anything about it in the long run.  Sure, I miss Oregon and get a little homesick for it.  I miss my nephew, mom and sister (as well as my other family on the west coast) a ton and really wish I wasn’t so far away.  But on the other hand, so many positive things have happened since Canada denied me entry and I came here to Minnesota that I can’t feel bad about it.

Anyways, its about a quarter to two in the morning so I am going to head to grab a shower since they are doing some road work tomorrow on our street and the water will be off and then I am going to head to bed and read for a little while before snoozing.

Until next time,

Sarah
