Normal Life Update

Yes, I still have days to fill in about Ireland. They will be getting there~
But I also have normal life things going on, and thought I might share a few of them. :3

I am working! Three jobs: Housekeeping at a wonderful Bed & Breakfast, Restaurant work at Salerno's (a family Italian type place), and I am a substitute for the local library! :D Up at the circulation desk.
Also, I am an intern officially! For a literary agency! Literary agents represent an author's work to a publisher, try to get it out there, work deals, and help the author with their work between drafts and final. I'm currently reading over manuscripts and writing reports. Can't say much more than that, but it's something I love to do and I'll be doing it for six months!
I have another internship or two that I am waiting to hear back from as well, regarding editing and writing short articles. None of the internship work is for pay currently, but maybe in the future that could change? We'll see.
I'm also working on keeping my car running nicely... My parents are wonderful and helping when things break, but there are some things I just can't really do much about. Sally is her name, and she's great, and has run for the entirety of my college years, and has over 220,000 miles on her. Subarus are great, but do eventually have limits. She's running on the last fix (Friday) and prayers mostly, but it's working so far! X3' And it's not as bad as it could be, and I'm very grateful for that. Here's to continued safe travel to work and back! (because all my jobs are also one town over in Lexington, so I need transportation) Thankfully there is a small public transportation system, which I've learned to use pretty well, but it only goes so late in the day. Salerno's runs longer than that.
I've not had a ton of hours lately, mostly due to the winter season and not a lot of people going out and about, but that may change as February comes through. Hoping so!

I'm in a nice upstairs apartment now, with three housemates, one roommate. We all get along pretty well, which is great, and have even started watching Charmed together~ XD It's a lot of fun. <3
One of my housemates, Kimy, also likes to play with my hair! She's not got a lot of time to do so sometimes because she's still going to school, but the past weekend she did some great braids in my hair.

Put in after I showered~ Two housemates went out to a student art gallery that evening and then saw Kung Fu Panda 3!! Which, by the way is an awesome movie!! X3
I slept in the braids, and they were weird to feel but I got used to it pretty quick. It was actually sitting that was the weirdest, because it felt like there were things on the backs of the seats but it was my hair. XD'
Anyway! The next day, we took out the braids in the afternoon and another housemate, Jodi, did some makeup on me too~ :3

I didn't even know my hair could hold that kind of wave without serious help!! But just waiting long enough works pretty darn well, apparently~ I worked later that night, and I got help putting it up.

The curls even held up through more sleeping. Church was fun. X3

So! Still working with work, reading, writing, progressing in different avenues and facets and ways.



Also, this is a fun and fairly accurate song~

Mindy Gledhill is great~ <3
