So for the past couple of weeks I have spent over 10 hours just getting and filling out applications. That doesn't include the bringing them back in and the interviews I have been in. Still no luck! I do however now have a once a week babysitting job but I'm pretty sure this won't pay for Europe and my mission. Nice thinking though huh? So in the cold wind and rain Amber and I trudged through the outdoor mall getting more and more applications. Now we get to fill them out and start all over. It really is a long hard process.
I had 2 very promising interviews last week and unfortunately neither of them worked out. I have another one tomorrow with Amber and we will see how that goes. Still doing everything I can to keep busy and so far I have completed about 13 pages in my quote book I am making which is really cute! Also have accomplished watching more movies in one week then I can ever remember watching ha ha.
I really know I am so blessed I live with a very loving family that I feel right at home with and totally love. I am slowly starting to make new friends and have really felt like I am making a life here. Even if it is for such a short time! When I start to feel down and wonder why I came I always get these rejuvenating days where everything seems to go perfect. Its those days those simple things that make everything worth it in the end. They are what make life enjoyable!
So far my New Year has been very wonderful just a couple of snags in my great plan. I am doing well with my New Years resolution and we have changed it to once every 2 weeks if any at all. So far this new year I have had 2 spoonfulls of cookie dough and that is all. It has had its really hard times but right now at the moment it is getting a lot easier. I just know not to get anything and I know my body will survive. I just go for the mandrin oranges and 100 % real juice fruit snacks. Its been wonderful!
So my decision led me to the Powells and for New Years my family came for a couple days and helped me get settled in. We had so much fun watching movies playing games and just having moments of random laughter. I got to spend beloved time with my family and I always try to cherish every single minute of it. Now it is all gone. Who knows when I will see my family again. It is one of the hardest things to watch them drive away without me. I know right now that I am supposed to be here still but being without my family is the hardest part. Having life go on without me back home and going back to see so many changes that I am missing hurts sometimes.
Again on a lighter note my 2009 was incredible I got to face so many challenges but got to accomplish so much as well. I moved out on my own and grew up. I can do things without my mommy now even if I don't want to at times. I am able to sorta navigate my way around town and learning everyday its ok to get lost ha ha. I am such a different person from the beginning of 2009 and granted I still have a ton to learn at least I am learning little bits every year.
As for 2010 Amber and I have set the New Years resolution that we are not to eat sweets like, candy, pies, cakes, ice cream and such including fast food and soda for a year. It will be hard as I have already noticed how much more junk food is actually around me and have noticed how much more I actually eat then I think. It will be good and well the goal is to just be more healthy in general. We did cheat and said we could eat one thing a week but it has to be little and it can only be one thing. Candy and soda are totally out though so for no reason whatsoever will I be eating candy or drinking soda. I am happy I don't drink soday anyways because that wont be so hard.
Given it is still in the early hours of the day I am going to try to go back to sleep and then when I wake up I'm going to try to be as busy as possible. I really need to find a job because its when I'm not doing anything that I feel the homesick monster the most. Crossing my fingers and hoping its not too much to ask for two jobs! I hope all of your News Years were wonderful and that we all get to take a look at everything accomplished and everything we want to accomplish. Happy New Year everyone!
