So Tired.....

I tried to find a "Happy" clam but this is all I could find. :)

Whew! It's only Wednesday night, but my body thinks its Friday! It must be the new job wearing on me! I realized that I didn't give any details as to where I am now employed. I work for an insurance company called USI, or Global Summit Partners. They are one and the same although all the letterhead says USI and I answer the phone, "USI Southwest." I really like it so far. I'm training for two weeks and then the real work begins. There is so much for me to do, but its not hard. I really am blessed to have this job because it has the PERFECT hours, 1-5 pm and it pays pretty decent. I'm happy as a clam! Plus, I had a conflict with one of my labs on Thursdays, and the boss told me it was okay for me to keep my lab for this semester. I did NOT want to switch labs since I have an amazing teacher and I would have had to switch to a Thursday night lab from 6-9 pm....ugh! So, all in all, God really blessed me with an amazing job and I am just soo happy to be working....but I am TIRED! I came home and took a nap! The girl who is training me told me that sometimes during her 15 minute break she'll go to her car and take a nap.
Hmmmm.....I might have to try that....

4:41

Here is what I imagine my theta wave to look like!

Its 4:41 in the afternoon and I am in the computer lab at ASU with a bunch of losers who are doing their homework. Ahem, they are not losers, as my parents would call them. They are probably studious, hard-working individuals who know a thing or two about time management. Whatever! I just had to come to check my e-mail. And lo and behold, what happened? My theta wave crashed in my brain and a blog is born.
You see, this is my last afternoon of freedom. My last afternoon to bask in the glory of "nothingess" as I like to call it, before I start my homework. I love the afternoons. Afternoons were meant for lovely naps! I was telling my friend, Sarah, that ever since I was jobless, I would come home after school and take a nap. Tis sweet bliss.
Now the bliss has ended. God has seen fit for me to go back into the real world. I had an interview this afternoon at an insurance company, Summit Global. I start work tomorrow. Yah! I am excited. Really I am. I had just hoped for maybe one more nap...oh well. I need something to do. (No, dad, mom, uncle lionel, and anyone else who is concerned....I do my homework at night. That's when my brain functions better!)
So basically, I am a WORKING WOMAN again! Woohoo! My dog can eat. I can buy shoes. And clothes. And pay my car payment!! Thank you sweet Jesus!

How Cold Weather Makes Me Feel...

Its Cold.
Its Rainy.

Its late.....


And I still have spanish homework....bleh!

I would totally skip school tomorrow since its raining, but I have four out of my five classes. Nice.

Ugghhh....

A Funny Moment

Bethany was washing dishes tonight while I was on the computer (yes, life is good!) when I heard her exclaim, "Kelli!"
"What!"
"Whenever you and Osi made pizza on Thursday, you cut the pizza with the plastic STILL on the pizza cutter!"

......Oh......Well, I thought it cut pretty well still.

Please Pray

I applied for a job that I really want and that I believe I am really qualified for. ( That doesn't sound cocky, does it?). I won't tell you the place where I applied, but I do want to ask you to help me pray for this job. I should find out about the position the last week of January. I'll be sure to keep you informed!

Ode to the KOA

I've never really been one to make new year's resolutions. I think they are pointless because I am one to always break them during the second week of the new year. This year is different. This year I made a resolution to make a resolution! I decided to be healthy. I think that I am the most unhealthy people that I know. And I'm such a hypocrite. I'm a kinesiology major and here I am, taking classes on how to take care of your body and I do not even CARE how I live. Well, no more of that! For the past couple of weeks, I've been running with some friends of mine, Erin and Bekah at the KOA. I honestly would not have started running if I had known how hard it would be to keep up this committment. It's so HARD! Our goal is three times a week. I haven't kept up all three times, but I think I have improved. I really have Erin to thank. She was a runner in high school so she keeps up the pace while I huff and puff along. I honestly think it's going to be a while before I can run without sucking air. Danggit!

Bekah is on the left and Erin is on the right.

Ugghhh.....

Yes, I know. Before I begin this post, I do want to apologize for taking so long to blog. I'm trying, but its hard to blog :)

Well, Monday, the 14th was my first day back at school for the spring semester and boy, did I NOT want to go back! Yeah, I like school, but I like going for the social part of school. If there was a school with no homework or labs or deadlines, honey, I'd be in heaven!

My Monday morning did not start off the greatest. I absolutely HATE Monday mornings (I hate mornings, period), but I was running late this Monday. Of all Mondays, it had to be the first day back. I have Spanish III at 8, so I have to be there on time. Of course, I was late. I was five stinkin' minutes late!!! Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that I have one of the toughest Spanish profs. Uggghhh!!!! So, I stood outside the room debating whether to go in or not, seeing that I was late. I decided to suck it up and go in.

She nabbed me. She asks me (en espanol) "Why are you late?" My face turned bright red.
"Uhh, I forgot my book."
"You forgot your book on the first day of school?!" She was astonished, apparently.
I just smiled. (Please keep in mind that, yes, I am speaking in spanish because I was so nervous. Who woulda thought!)
She says to me, "I think that you were with your boyfriend. Were you with your boyfriend?"
"I don't have a boyfriend."
"No, I think you were with him...." And then she said some other stuff that I didn't understand.

Man, I'll never be late again!! I do like her. She seems like a good teacher, but man she's teaching me never to be late!

I have ALOT more interesting stories from this week but I'll spread them out since this one was long!
