I started officially working at Kohls yesterday. It's your run-of-the-mill cashiering job which i already have the major case of do.not.want. BUT it'll help pay for my stuff next semester so whatever. My first day was deadly though.. 9.5 hours of training... my god i had nightmares lol. Today was only a 4 hour shift so things were cool. Best part: Paycheck every Friday :D Woo!

Oh yeah, so I finally ordered my 3.5K computer *pocket is still sobbing from teh rape* so I have a shiny new 17" Macbook Pro to look forward to. I think I have a name picked out for it. Some of you may know that I have a very strange obsession with Harry Potter (lol) and I name all of my electronics after characters. Well my laptop's name is Snape <3 (iPods names are: Sirius and Remus, Wii is called Luna, Desktop is called Moody, Car is named Hedwig, Celphone was named Aberforth....and so on) Well, seeing as Macs are evil...but sexy (and ridiculously expensive) I figured Lucius would be a good name for it (plus i wanted to keep it on the Deatheater theme) :)

Unfortunately that means I will be parting with my beloved Snape *cries* My brother is going to college next semester (my little baby brother is going to college, WTF) so he needs a laptop that sucks at playing World of Warcraft (he got addicted. grades dropped... it became a problem). So my poor little defenseles Snape will be in his capable hands. Snaaaaaape *cries* Sadness.

Lucius will be coming with a free iPod touch though, not sure of a name for it yet. I'm guessing I should name it James since I already had Remus and Sirius...but I'll have to get a feel for it to see if the name fits (I'm SO weird o_o)

Aaaanywho, I am planning on trading in my Wii for a PSP. The Wii was a gift from Jason and I don't really ever use it :| None of the games really interest me and the games that do look fun are ridiculously expensive. I think the only thing i like about the Wii is making miis. Plus I've been wanting a PSP since it was announced years ago. The PSP Go! doesn't really look all that interesting for me to get it....


Finally, I'm putting the finishing touches on my whimsy jar :) I just found out who my sekkrit swapper is today :D Yay :D Will post pictures when swap is over :)

And Lastly my Summer list progress:

• Loose 10-20 lbs - Throughout the semester I've managed to gain about 20 lbs... so I'll be dieting and exercising to try and get those off. (my pants are tight too...) Lost 3-5 lbs so far
• Travel to Vermont- Me and Dan are planning a roadtrip to his hometown in Vermont. It's a 23 hour drive. I still haven't told my parents, so I'll have to add that to my to-do list. Told my parents, they are okay with it. Trip was originally set for the beginning of the summer but has henceforth been moved to the end of the summer.
• Get a job! - SO done :)
• Buy a MacBookPro- On its way!!!
• Learn to use a Mac- Pending (see above, lol)
• Go to JACON- It's an anime convention in Orlando. I went there last year and it was a blast, so I'd like to go again. Was SUPER fun! :D
  
• Learn to knit- Buying suplies with paycheck :)
  
• Learn to paperpiece!- See "Knitting"
• Pay off my creditcard DX I've brought it down to $316, so if i get a job this summer, I'm sure I'll make at least $316 to pay it off... UGH DX
• Finish Illustrations for Lora Lee, my ex-coworker's children's book Haven't even started...

I have a few items I want to accomplish during this summer:

• Loose 10-20 lbs - Throughout the semester I've managed to gain about 20 lbs... so I'll be dieting and exercising to try and get those off. (my pants are tight too...) I've been walking my dog every day. I've completely given up snack foods and severely processed foods as well as sodas. I haven't seen any weight loss yet, but I'm already starting to feel better about myself :)

• Buy a MacBookPro- It is required for graphic design majors
• Learn to use a Mac- Duh, lol
