♪♫ Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix
What a week its been! And not in a good way... I've been stressed. After my last blog, I had my final driving class and there was a test at the end. I nearly failed it. I just barely passed. Even though I did pass... I still felt very disappointed in myself. I'm used to much higher marks! I think its mostly because I had to sit and listen to someone talk for 7 classes which were 3.5 hours each time. I don't have a good attention span for that. Plus I haven't taken a test in a long time either, so I was anxious. At least it was multiple choice though... I think that saved me.
I was so stressed the day after the test, that I ended up being 15 minutes late because I just couldn't pull myself together. Ugh. Good thing my work is very understanding/laid back about being late, so it wasn't an issue. However... I got some bad news at work. The position I was hoping to apply for has been filled. What happened is they posted for the full time version of the position and then decided to just hire all positions from the applicants. I can see from their point of view why they did it; overnight worker positions are hard to fill and they wanted it done quick. But... its really unfair that I never got the chance to apply. I'm a bit sour about it. However, there is another position I was considering as well, which has been posted; a live-in support worker. I have a tour of the house on Friday before I make my decision to apply (the deadline is Sunday night). I'm quite certain that I'll be applying though!
On Sunday, my boyfriend came to visit me for the night. As soon as he came in, he could tell something was off... even though I was trying to hide it. I told him about it and he cheered me up! We then went for dinner at a local pub that I've never been to before. He told me that they have the best burgers in town and he was right! They had a veggie burger that, I dare say, is the best veggie burger I have ever had! After that, we came back to my house, watched movies and cuddled. The next morning, I made him breakfast and then we went for a walk to the nearby lake before he headed home. It was a lovely visit!
I had yesterday and today off from work. I was originally intending on trying to get shifts for both days, but then I decided that I really need a break from work. No shifts came up anyways, so it worked out! Yesterday I did absolutely nothing. The only exciting thing I did was eat garlic fingers and watch horror movies. It felt so great to be lazy! Today was a more productive day. I did a couple loads of laundry, re-arranged my room a bit, cleaned a little, made a meal plan for the next week, had a bath, gave myself a facial, watched TV, had a big cup of tea and relaxed in bed! Today was also pay day, which is exciting, haha!
As for shopping in the past week... I did a fair amount. I feel like I'm always shopping! I'm probably a bit addicted, haha. Anyways, I bought this cheesy horror movie at the dollar store last week; Stage Fright. I watched it and it was... different, haha. Not necessarily bad, but it was a musical, which I didn't expect. I also ordered a mini expandable accordion file folder on Ebay. I came up with a great idea to budget my money with it; I'm going to put cash in each section for different things I need to pay for, like; rent, groceries, bus pass, etc. I'm already really good with saving money, but I'm hoping it will help me to save even more!
Oh and before I go; rest in peace Sid Haig aka Captain Spaulding from House of 1000 Corpses (one of my favorite movies of all time). He is a horror icon and will forever be remembered! My best friend Kara is more upset about his death than I am. She was heartbroken. I ended up buying her an extra Christmas gift to add to her package; a Captain Spaulding Funko Pop figure. She is gonna love it! Her own little Sid to keep forever.
That is all for now! I wish I had more to talk about!

At least you did pass, I know my little sister failed her's like three times before she passed, though I am not sure she ever tried to study until when she passed it. I know for test I am very always very prepared, but still just a really bad test taker. You can't always predict those things.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your able to get the position that your hoping for!
