As the seasons change...

So does my luck.
Since arriving here, I have to admit that I have been catching a lot of lucky breaks (parking spots, cancelled classes, etc.) Unfortunately, since the weather has been changing, my luck has gone along with it. So far, I have skinned my knee on the way to class (in the rain) slept through a class that had a quiz (fire drill at 5:30 that morning....NOT MY FAULT) gotten stuck in an elevator with an unidentified used condom, and become an accomplice in frowned upon activities.
college is amazing.
Anyways, I have been having pretty good luck with this sorority business. I have an interview tomorrow which basically determines if I get in or not. My friends say I have nothing to worry about.....but then again, they're my friends. They have to say that.
Speaking of which, I should probably get some clothes together to wear to that interview. The outfit choice is Business Casual....so I am thinking either khakis or a skirt with a nice top and heels (though the eel skins kill my feet...ugh)
The life of a college freshman.
I guess it is early enough to not be weird to take a shower, since I'm having lunch with a friend tomorrow and cannot do so right before my interview.
I promise, I haven't forgotten this blog. I'm a jerk, I know.
As soon as things calm down, I will be blogging like there's no tomorrow.

Until then

Oh well, Oh well.

Today was my last day of my OTHER summer job at my county Detention Center.
Last night my boss took me and my coworker-turned-bestfriend Brittany out to dinner at Olive Garden (this was my first ever Olive Garden experience, and I think I fell in love.) and then to the mall for some retail therapy. I bought a lot of crap I didn't need, but who cares.
I forgot to mention Brittany earlier when I started this blog. We started working together in June, and as soon as we met we started doing insane things. Over the past 2 months, we have taken our boss's desk gnome, scared all of the office staff, had 78069876 movie nights, and turned our last summer at home into the best one of my life. We're going to schools that are really far from each other, but we will be coming back here to work on school breaks and also plan to meet up in like Nashville for hangout time.
Back to the present: Brittany and I finished scanning all those godforsaken papers today, and decided to take our daily nap at about 10 AM. We tried to leave at about 11, but were not permitted to do so because of reasons that could not be explained to us. Needless to say, we were pretty much freaking out. When we went into the kitchen/break room area for lunch, the office staff had set us up an entire pizza party with our personal favorites (mine is hamburger, green pepper, and onion. Britt likes cheese and pepperoni) and sodas! We were really happy that they did that for us. Brittany's grandmom came to eat pizza with us, and we all just talked about the future and stuff. It didn't really hit me until then how quickly this summer has flown by. I mean, it feels like last week I was at Jailer's Conference in Bowling Green, saying "that will be my school in 3 months!"......weird.
When we finished our pizza, our boss Ricky brought out this huge cake that said "Best wishes Brittany and McCall" and gave us each a $100 gift card to Walmart. Can we say Winning?
All in all, Today was a lovely last day at work. Now it is time to go home, head back to the mall for a new hat, and finally have an actual summer vacation for.....let's see here.....three days? oh gosh.

Next time you hear from me, I will have relocated. wish me luck!

Until then.
