God is so good.
I'm not *loving* being a cashier at Wal-Mart, but I do however love the money in the bank. Just when I wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to come back to USF due to financial reasons, both my mom and I got jobs and my dad's work as a stock-broker picked back up and I believe that God wanted us to look only to Him to provide the means of making money. I stopped relying on my good grades and my own "good" character and got on my knees and begged for a way to help my family out and He did. I'm so grateful and I don't want to lose sight of that. I have to think about this often because of how customers treat me on a regular basis. Basically, I'm treated like a piece of crap. It's humbling to just look people in the eye after they're rude to you when you've done NOTHING wrong and then apologize to THEM for it. I don't plan on working here for a long period of time or anything, but while I'm working here I don't want to make the experience meaningless. I was desperate for the work and HE provided, and along with that, He's testing my patience and I'm having to humble myself every day in ways I never thought I'd put up with.
Another note: I love free stuff. Stacy is moving into her new apartment and she is giving away some furniture. She gave me her black IKEA table and it's sooo adorable in our place! She also generously gave me her chair and will be giving me the matching rug for the living room. It's nice to have grown-up friends ;)
I'm pretty tried right now but I wanted to write because I haven't in a while. Until next time when I have the energy and will power---

Success
I've been dying to blog for days and days but I didn't because I hadn't really read any more of Wuthering Heights. I mean, a few chapters but not enough to really write anything about it.
In my last blog I talked about a short story I had to read and what I thought it was about...yeah. TOTALLY didn't get that they were talking about virgins losing their virginity. That part seemed to fly right over my head haha. Not complaining though, it was kind of graphic once it was all explained in class.
I just want to say, my room is SO clean right now. A clean room is the pallet for a clean mind. This may sound corny, but it is. I cleaned my room last night because I felt like I couldn't breathe in my own room. Once I did, I had more energy and I slept better.
This morning I woke up early and had to go to the Occupational Heath Center for drug screening. Why? BECAUSE I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise be to GOD because I was truly giving up hope of finding once since I've been looking since spring break. I'm going to be a cashier at Wal-Mart on Bruce B. Downs. It's located in New Tampa, and it's a super Wal-Mart. I would never work at the one closest to my apartment because it's not even safe to go there during the day. Multiple times I've been there in the afternoon and people have walked up to me asking me for money, or I felt like people were roaming around the parking lot aimlessly. I avoid the Fletcher Wal-Mart at all costs.
So when I went to the drug test, I knew I had to pee in a cup. I was dreading it all last night before I fell asleep...it's always something I've hated doing when I've had to do it. I have a shy bladder. I ended up being there for over an hour because I couldn't go on my first attempt, even though I hadn't peed since I got up this morning on purpose because I knew I had to go when I got there. After alot of waiting and drinking their water, I finally did it (go me!).
That's all I have to say for now. Screw Wuthering Heights...I'll read it eventually. I've missed blogging too much to punish myself that way!
night! <3
