home sweet home

Hey all! I just wanted to tell everyone about my trip back home. I was home sunday through wednsday and I got to see aunt julie, uncle paul, kimmie and the girls, mom, and julia. It was nice being home for a few days and away from the hussle and bussle. We did some shopping and went to dinner on tuesday. All of us girls went to the village deli after attempting something new but we wanted some food food! Haha I went to dinner with julia on monday night at upland. So fun! Today I met my friend sarah who is from bloomington up in evenston. We went to a movie and lunch. It is soo nice out here that we just walked around too! I'm on my way to work now, I'm sad I work on such a beautiful day :( I hope everyone is well and I'm sad that I didn't get to see everyone while I was home but even more reason to come visit me!!
Hugs and kisses!

back to normal...almost

Today was my first day back to work for a few days...I made it! I felt half normal today, I was training to be a filler which means I will be the person behind the computer filling guests into table, basically making sure everyone in the whole restaurant is happy...A lot of WORK! and stress but today went well. After work I went to my interview at Starbucks and it went really well! It was very laid back and she talked to me like I already had the job. It is a Starbucks inside a hotel so there are other managers that I need to meet before I am officially hired but tomorrow I am going back in to meet other managers so hopefully by this time next week I will have a second job! YAY I am excited.

Robert, my roommate, and I have been interviewing people to take over his room and in the interviewing process I met a girl named Anita. She is around 28 and from the suburbs. She is really sweet and seemed shy but fun! She works in insurance and does some bar tending too. Now we are looking for a place together because things seem to be taking too long to figure out for this apartment, so I might have a new roommate and new apartment soon! It would be awesome if we could find somewhere with an office or an extra room so that we could have a guest room but we are looking more to save money than anything else right now. She invited me to a hockey game tomorrow night so I will be attending my first hockey game! Well I'm about to go take my meds and read :)

Have a good night everyone!!

Taking the Good with the bad

I hope people are actually reading this...I am going to start writing more because I realized that I haven't really been writing in my journal since I've moved and I should be writing in some way or another. I was off work today and did a whole lot of nothing. I went to the hospital yesterday and found out that I have strep throat and an upper respiratory infection....so I went to CVS and got my medication so HOPEFULLY I get to feeling better soon. My friend from work Emily came to get me from CVS when she got out of class, she had her boyfriends car so I was able to get a few groceries and then she and I went to potbellys for some soup. She is so sweet! I was so thankful for a friend while being up here sick...alone :( She let me borrow some movies too so I wouldn't have to watch the same old stuff. I had a little energy when I got home so I did some laundry and dishes then passed out. BUT while I was at CVS I had a phone call from a number I didn't recognize so I didn't answer but they left a message, It was that Starbucks that I applied too when I first moved here!! I called them right back and used all the voice that I had to talk to her, they wanted to interview me ASAP so I have an interview tomorrow at 5!! I am so excited. I really like my job at the Grand Lux but I miss making coffee!! and It would be a nice change of pace to have the two different jobs, which are literally a block away from eachother. So wish me luck for tomorrow. The woman sounded VERY excited to meet me and to "hire" me she said.

My best guy friend Wil and our friend Adriana are coming up this weekend! I am excited and I got off a few days so I am going to ride home with them on Sunday so I will be able to be home for a few days. After being so sick up here it will feel so nice to just relax at home. I miss you guys and hope I get to see you when I come. I will add some new photos when I'm done typing too. Some of my new friends up here. Well I hope everyone had a good Easter! Helen kept me pretty updated :) and I heard that it was a pretty low key one this year. Maybe you guys could all come visit over summer and we could do a family vacation house or something...just a thought.

Goodnight! I love you all ♥ your city girl

sick

ok so I'm beyond sick now....I have felt under the weather for 6 days now and nothing seems to be helping! I have taken just about everything and my throat is still sooooo swollen, I have no appetite, my ears ache and I have no one here to take care of me :( I'm trying to find somewhere up here that will take my insurance but it looks like I will just have to go to the emergancy room. I just want to feel better!!! I need to feel better so I can be back at work and earn more money!

As of right now I am going to be home sunday 19th- Wed 22nd...IF I can find someone to take me from bloomington to indy for my bus ride back on wed. sooo if you can let me know :) It will feel good to be home right after being so sick.

april first!

Happy April!
I had today off and did a whole bunch of nothing...I tried to pick up hours but they just didn't need me! :( I work a lot this weekend though so hopefully I will get enough to feel comfortable. Tomorrow I work a little in the morning and then I am going to go to a bar called The Zoo to apply for a hostess job, I thought that would be a fun job and they are hiring all positions right now. It is a live music bar so that will be fun for me, I miss live music! I really can't wait for the nice weather so that even on my days off I will feel lively enough to get out and about! Aunt Julie put some film in the mail for me today so I will get my act together on taking photos and hopefully find somewhere to print them! I also realized that I really really need to get going on school! I have to find out what else I need to do in order to finish my applications. Send me all of your good thoughts, I'll need them!

I talked to my friend Mary the other day. I used to work with her at Hallmark back in the day and she and her husband,Dan, are moving back here soon! I cannot wait!!!! She is so sweet and so much fun and I will feel more at home once she and Dan are here!

My good friend Wil and our friend Adrianna are talking about coming up to visit on april 18th through that weekend. If I am able to get off work I think that I am going to try to drive back with them that sunday and go home for a few days! I just want to come home for a few days. I'm not home sick I just miss random things about home! haha So I might be home the 19th-22nd of April. I just hope that I can get my bus ride home in my easter basket this year!! and someone really awesome to take me to the bus station on that wed. Let me know if you have any ideas :)

I miss you guys and would love to hear from all of you!! so call me or e-mail me! jennelisefagan@gmail.com
