Forgive me

Slacker blogger becomes more of a slacker every single day! First and foremost:
I got a job!! For more than 3 days! Apparently my phone voice is supreme and I got hired on! I'm excited and happy to be a contributing member of both society and my household again. Praise the Lord! Unfortunately, though, my body is hating my new schedule. Here's what it looks like: Monday & Tuesday: work 8am-5pm, then school 5pm-8:30pm, Wednesday work 8am-3:30pm, then dance 3:45-6pm...WHOA! Thursday and Friday are average workdays, 8am-5pm. Its surely not unmanageable, but it is a huge adjustment considering that last week I was sleeping in until 10am and not doing anything all day until class. I am happy, though! I was busy busy all day at work today and I love to be busy--makes time FLY by. Better still, since I'm working downtown and get an hour lunch break (so much better than working in the public school system!)  I got to have lunch with one of my favorite people in the entire world: Granny Jan! For those who don't know, she's actually Tyler's great aunt, so getting to spend time with her one on one was quite a treat...if you knew her, you'd surely understand. To be brief, I would love to be GJ when I grow up...or at least a lot like her, I'd settle for that.

Aside from the corporate world, I was pretty decent in the biology world today, too. And by that I mean I successfully completed my lab and I wasn't the last person to leave class for once(I prefer to think I'm thorough)! We did slide staining, and while its probably pretty boring to you (and me too, if I were truly honest), I was quite proud of my little slide-staining accomplishments. Even if I did find TONS of bacteria on the sample from my mouth--further confirmation that the tickle in my throat is more than just a tickle. Oh, and yesterday in A&P, I held hearts in my hands. Unfortunately they came from cows & sheep instead of humans, but they were still cool. I wish I were smart enough to have gone to med school of some kind...mainly because I am beyond fascinated with the human body and would love to explore the real deal. I'd pay it forward and donate my dead self to an A&P lab, too! I digress, all that to say I'm also loving school even if my eye lids are always heavy.

Sunday, our dishwasher started smoking out of nowhere and a screw fell out of my computer. What a day! We're now hand washing our dishes and computer shopping this weekend. My getting a permanent job is surely further proof of the Lord's sovereignty!

Speaking of the Lord, we started a community group this Sunday & I'm also very excited about that! It digs deeper into the message from every service, and I think Tyler & I both are really going to love it..plus we eat, and you can never complain about that. The group is made up primarily of other young couples and I find that to be a relief, seeing as I'm always desperately seeking friends. I'll try to keep you updated on that--on Wed-Sun when I actually have time to breathe/blog.

I almost forgot! I've started reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and it is so good. Its the first of three (yes! I love series!), and a light read, but I don't want to say more than that to avoid spoiling it. Only $5 on kindle, and worth more than that, I would say...course I'm not to the end yet, so hopefully it won't disappoint and I'll continue to feel that I got a good deal. Still working on Sybil, too, but The Hunger Games is on my kindle which is just a lot easier to take to work in my purse.

Well, this was supposed to be about a paragraph long, but luckily I'm a narcissist so you get a short story. Still looking for a Feb 18-20 visitor!:)

XOXO,
Hannah
