So tomorrow I'm going to job-hunting. I bought a nice outfit last week; I'm gonna wear it tomorrow when I go to the mall in search of a job. I hope I'm not sick again, like I am today, and that I get to talk to Ed cause I miss him and haven't had the chance in awhile. I've also decided that I don't really want to go to SuperWow this year; I'd rather go on the Missions Trip. I don't know where they're going this year or anything, but I plan on finding out. I know Pastor Karl is going to be doing a service on Missions in a few weeks; he actually wanted Esther to come and speak about that but she's going to be, ironically, on a missions trip in Costa Rica that week. Maybe he'll mention where Cornerstone is going for missions this summer? I know they went to Ecuador last summer; don't know if they're going they're again or not. If I don't do the missions, I'm gonna (maybe) apply for the summer internship at Cornerstone.

Eh. I want to breathe!!! I hate having colds/flus. They suck!! I'm gonna go take a nap in a little bit; maybe that will help some. The meds seem to be ineffective and these tissue are starting to hurt my nose. What happened to the ones with lotion?? Those are nice...

So the interview isn't until 6 PM, yet I'm already started to worry about the what-if's and thinking of everything that could go wrong..I can't wait to get this interview over with!! I really need and want this job, I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get it, but I will be really upset. Why didn't I call Esther for comfort last night??

So last nights interview could have gone better than it did. It was a group interview, and I am terrible at group interviews. Mostly because I've never really had group interviews before. Express was only the second. (When I applied Kohl's almost a year ago, we had a group interview then too.) It was also a two-part interview. We had the group interview in the back room, where it was the general question and answer, and then we had to actually go out on the floor and sell the products. I felt so much more at ease when I was out on the floor. Saleem, the hiring manager, said the whole interviewing and hiring is about a two week process, depending on how quickly they can get in touch with references, but that everyone did very well on the floor dealing with the customers. Man, I really want this job. It's so easy and I feel so perfect for this position even though I have no previous retail experience. (It's a Sales Associate Position). I really wish the question and answer session would've gone better though. The whole thing took close to two hours last night; longest interview I've ever gone on. I was able to call and talk to Esther afterwards though, and talking to her always makes me feel better. (I know some people who could learn to follow her example..but I won't name names.) I wish she wasn't leaving for Costa Rica tomorrow, but not because I don't want her to go on her missions trip, and experience new things. I feel like I'm going to need someone to talk to in the next few days, and no ones going to be there. At least not for another ten days or so. (The length of Esther's trip.)
I can't wait for this whole thing to be done and over with. Anyway, I'm done blogging for the day; writing and blogging for two and half hours is kind of exhausting. I'm off to surf the net and try to enjoy my time home alone today. (And no, this particular blog entry did not take two and a half hours to write; it took about thirty minutes, if anyone was curious.)

Well, Ed tried to call me again last night..and I missed the call by a SPLIT-SECOND. WTH? So that is now...hm, 9 missed calls in a row in 3-4 days? I'm so not liking my luck right now. . If I miss another call, I'm going to go crazy!!! I miss hearing his voice everyday, I like hearing his voice when I can. This (my luck right now) sucks!!!

At least Esther is coming home today. Hopefully I'll be able to talk to her about it; she always makes me feel better. Anyways, I'm now determined not to miss another phone call-from anybody.

So...apparently my parents have talked about fixing my dad's car (the one that sits in the driveway 24/7), and letting a certain individual drive it. Hm..that's exciting. Now where to get the money to fix it? I'm jobless at the moment and that's going to cost about $400-$500. At least, I think that's what it was last time I asked my dad in July/August. I'm going to ask my mom tonight if she knows an estimate when she comes home from her errands, too. If I had a stupid job, that'd be easy to save up in just a few short weeks. (I could just save up the money and fix the car, but I also need insurance!!) Man, I need a job. I haven't heard anything back from the 6-7 stores I applied at, and I am going crazy here without a darn job.

On the plus side, my legs are starting to look a little toned since I've been walking for about the past month and a half. That's very cool. My stomach is also looking a little more toned too..definitely cool with that. I think I may start working on my arms sometime in the next few weeks. I'm gonna look awesome by the time Ed comes home!! So...I think I've got out everything I wanted to say. Well, almost. But the other stuff is just for Ed, and I want to talk to him about it either online or on the phone cause it's mostly questions.

Pray for the car and that I find a job soon!!!

So this is an exciting weekend that's coming up. Ed and I are reaching the halfway point in this deployment in a few days, and hopefully it will be his last deployment so I never have to deal with this again. (Maybe I will, maybe I won't, I don't know. But I will always pray that I don't ever have to do this again 'cause it's really not fun..) Esther is also coming home today! . We're going to hang out tomorrow and share some pictures from Bok Towers (mine) and Costa Rica (hers). I'm trying to get my dad to scan the ones from Bok Towers so I can upload them on here but so far no luck. There's two really nice ones that would be perfect with my new layout on here too. Hopefully I can get that done real soon. After we hang out and just basically chat for a bit, we're going to sit on Josiah's Truth Project meeting. I've been to it before and it's really cool, I just can't drive to St. Cloud every Saturday night and again on Sunday mornings. (If I drove myself, that'd be different.) I'm also going to get information about Cornerstone's mission trip. Apparently they've already started having a few meetings for it, says Josiah. I might still get a chance to go though, I don't think they have had *that* many meetings yet. And Esther might come too! Her plans to stay in California over the summer don't seem to be working out the way she'd hoped, but I would love to hang with her all summer in St. Cloud or Ecuador. If I don't go to Ecuador, I'm going to apply for the internship, I guess. (Is there a deadline for that?) I gotta talk to Pastor Karl; I also need to have him redo my reference form for Trinity College cause I lost it when he sent it back to me. This time I'm going to give him a fully addressed envelope so he can send it straight to the school. (That's actually what he was supposed to in the first place, but I forgive him. I didn't give him the envelope like I was originally supposed to, so it's not totally his fault..)
