What's happening everyone?! :D

I've been rather bored lately... with Ty at work and me at home, I feel like I have nothing to do.
But I seem to make use of the time I have, so that's at least good.
I'm going to be working on my resume this week, starting tomorrow. I have no idea how to write one up or even what is considered a good resume.

... oh it just started pouring outside...good thing too - my flowers needed to be watered.

I've started knitting a sweater for Frankie the pug :P.  Hopefully it will fit him. It's stretchy so I hope it will.  It's made with self-striping worsted weight yarn on a size 6 needle.
I'm also going to start a pineapple doily for the dining room table.

...Oh darn, my "L" key seems to have popped off again.. -___-  *sigh*

 Hope all of my readers are doing well!

Update, June 5 2012.

Finally finished the granny square baby blanket just last night. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it. :c
I hope the couple likes it!

I'm currently working on spinning my own yarn up. I purchased a low-whorl drop spindle and some wool roving. SO far I have a small green skein (~0.5 oz.) done. The roving I bought came in a tiny tiny bag...I think it's meant for felting more than spinning, but it still works! :)

Ty said that I should open up my own shop. I though that'd be an awesome idea, but getting the funds to start up, and actually having people buy things and keep the place running may prove to be very hard...plus my degree is in International Studies, not marketing or business... :/
But who ever said that someone with a certain degree (or no degree) can't start up their own shop? ;)
I think I might try it out in the future.

New City, New Life.

I finally did it! I'm officially a University of Kentucky graduate! :)
After working my butt off for 18 years or schooling, I'm finally able to call my self an adult.  But what does being an adult really mean? Being able to pay your own water bills? Having to pay for insurance? Bah. I'm just happy that I have the freedom of being on my own, however I'm sure I'll get sick of it sooner or later.
With my family recently moved up to NY City, I'm all alone down in Indianapolis, living with my boyfriend, Tyler, of an almost two-year relationship. I'm currently looking for places to work, and hopefully I'll be able to find something soon.
I got an interview with Delta Airlines as being an International Flight Attendant for flights to Japan, but I always seem to be getting their voicemail (and they keep calling me back). It's a never-ending game of phone tag with these people! :<
I'm really, really interested in fiber arts now- specifically spinning yarn and knitting.  I'm pushing to opening my own art shop/studio where I teach multiple things from painting to spinning yarn.  Since there's no really good art/yarn shop downtown hopefully I'll be able to start one up. Or maybe even start working at a nearby one.
What I really want to do though is something with animals. Hopefully the zoo here will hire me with some kind of job. My dad keeps joking about how I'll be scooping up Elephant dung, but that doesn't bother me one bit. I like being around animals, no matter what I'm doing, although interacting with them is what I would prefer.

Hope everyone is having a good summer so far!
Cheers,

School, Hobbies, Pets, and Dragon Ball Z.

So... school.  I'm not liking it right now, haha. I'm taking 20 credit hours (7 classes) because my advisor screwed me over.  She said I'd be fine with 15 hours each semester so far...until now. >: /  I'm also not liking this final graduation project. I have to write 20-25 pages over a topic I'm really not into.  It's jus way too complicated.

Hobbies!  I'm now earning to crochet! It's actually a lot simpler than knitting because every stitch you make you already fastened it off!- though I think knitted things look nicer.  And after knitting for over a year, I can basically make any kind of accessory/hat.  I still haven't tried making a sweater...I need to try that soon. :<

Pets!  So...I now have 3 snakes. :P  But I lost one of my hamsters, a mouse, several of my bettas, and my turtle. :'(

And DBZ-  My new re-found love. I really love re-living my childhood...plus I don't remember some things.

Enjoy!~

Summers End

Yup. It's that time...that dreaded time of school. Ugh. I'm so not ready. Are any of you? I've got 16 hours to take (6 classes) and I need to dish out ~$300 for my textbooks. This is so redic.
Why can't colleges lend out textbooks for free? Or at least rent them for cheaper... -__-
Anyways. I've got a couple of betta spawns going, so if any of you want a betta don't be shy :) I've got plenty of crowntails right now, but they need to grow more (they're only a week old).
Check out my other blog- Bettas by Gnat- for updates!
