Back Home

Hey everyone... In case you haven't heard yet, I am back in Orlando for the summer. I know, random. I was totally planning on staying in Provo, but when things didn't work out, I randomly told my mom I wanted to come home and 5 minutes later I had a plane ticket. LOL.

So the plan was that I had a free place to live at home, and that Regal still had a job with me. Well, half of that's right. Apparently, though, Regal had to terminate me from their system at Christmas when I didn't work, so I have to go through the application process again if I want to be re-hired. I hope they realize they need more employees for the summer movie season and give me a call. :)

Being home is a lot weirder than I thought it would be. I have nothing to do with myself, no friends to hang out with whenever I want 24/7, no obligations, no reason to get up in the morning, no studying to do, no classes to go to, no independence, no way to get around besides my bike, no place to go, etc etc etc. I'm really starting to miss college life, BYU campus, and Provo right about now. I didn't realize how boring it would be. My family is away all day at work and school, and most of my friends are still in school, too. So I spend my days on Facebook, taking care of my dog, and watching Fox News (FINALLY I have been reunited with my favorite news channel lol).

Today I had a nice surprise when I went to look at my checking account online. There was a $89.90 charge pending from PayPal that I had nothing to do with. So I had to go to my PayPal account, which I've used once in my life, and see what was going on. There was some random payment to some guy from India or something. Lame. So I call my dad and file a claim with PayPal online, they have me change me password, and yadda yadda yadda. Then I call my bank and apparently they can't do anything to stop the payment unless PayPal calls them with some verification code or something, and PayPal won't do that until they've investigated my fraud claim, which could take up to 30 days. So basically my checking account is useless until then, because the charge will overdraw my account and, oh-my-heck, it's a pain in the butt. Blah.

So that's about all the excitement going on in my life. Tomorrow are the Stoneybrook Community Garage Sales, and I'm waking up "early" (for me) to go with my mom in the morning. Like I need anyone's junk, really :)

Tonight I went to a Young Women's Camp Meeting BBQ (my mom is an assistant camp director and my sister is a YCL) and we did personality tests. I am a "CS" as they call it. C is my dominant personality, and S is my secondary. Here are some interesting things I learned about myself from the test, which are all totally true! I was laughing at how accurate some of them are.

Buying Method: Decides cautiously, prefers the exceptional, likes value
Personal Decor: Asthetically pleasing, unique, functional
Body Language: Unemotional, controlled gestures, assessing
Organizational Method: Highly organized, personalized detailed system
Speech Tones: Clarifying monotone, logical, focused, emotionless
Greatest Need: Quality answers
Question I want answered: Why are we doing this?
Animal: Tropical fish :) haha
Motto: Plan your work, then work your plan!

Like: Consistency, Detail, Excellent work, Creativity, Perfection, Getting it right

Make good: Lawyers, Musicians, Philosophers, Photographers, Scientists, Surgeons, Theologans, etc.

So now you know a little more about me. And I think that's all that I have to write about. I am running low.

So I would really appreciate it if anyone knows somewhere I can get a job, or have a job for me to do (babysitting, housecleaning, stuff like that), or if you can think of a hobby I could pick up, or a way for me to get a car for the summer so I can get to a job when I have one (lol) that would be great!

Oh - and don't be scared - but on the Membership VP folder in the fraternity I was in, I had written on the front, "Plan your work and work your plan." The MVP runs rush and is over the pledge program, recruiting, yadda yadda - so I had meetings multiple times a week with everyone from media to students to Pres. Hitt. Anywhoooooooo - that motto kept me sane. I still use it! TWINNERS!!!
