Weekend Update

With Tina Fey.

Over the past few months, Amelia's life has been, to put in one simple word, Tiring.
You would think with no school and only working 40 hours a week, Amelia wouldn't be so exhausted. WRONG....

I've been attempting to be as productive as I can since I feel so guilty about not going to school, but it seems that nature is trying to kill me. I swear, it's one disease right after another. I've has random flare ups of my tonsils on and off for the past couple months until they started hurting to the point I couldn't swallow anything so I went into the doctor before my target benefits expired and found out I have strep. I was hoping to be completely cured by now, but I'm pretty sure due to my lack of caring for myself, it's coming back again...
On a lighter note, I started watching Lost thanks to my new boyfriend Netflix. I've gotten through almost all the seasons in about 1 1/2 weeks... Don't be too impressed. I'm so addicted to Netflix, it's almost tragic how much time I spend with that instead of a real life boyfriend. Speaking of males...
No. I am not dating anyone. I just can't get myself to actually try and make things work with anyone. I should think that is a positive attribute, right? I mean, who wants to be dating someone just because they want to be dating someone? I for one am extremely picky and I have a right to be. I think I might have a skewed vision of how dating and guys should be but I can always blame the media later on in life when I'm an old cat lady.
I'm still trying to find an internship that won't conflict with my job too much since Target is basically putting me through school. I've heard it's really easy to get into radio station internships, but television is a whole other story.
I also have more responsibilities at work now. They moved my coworker Rachelle up the front lanes and completely did away with the Specialist positions (Shoe Specialist, Jewelry Specialist, etc).Instead of of only being in charge of half the clothing section, I'm over all of it. That's practically half the store. It's only been a week of this new job and I'm already stressed. I have some conflicts with some of the girls that work for me, but I'm hoping they can either get over it and help me out or move departments because I run a tight ship and no one gets away with anything! Not even me.
I talked my roommates into starting to foster animals from the Shelter. I really wish I could get down there and volunteer again but gas is expensive and I get so sad seeing all of the lonely animals. This way I can help out a few at a time. I also gave up meat for lent and I'm hoping for good. I just feel so guilty when I'm eating meat. I know I'm being silly, but I love animals and don't ever want to be the reason for their pain :(
I'm also hoping to take part of this life learning seminar thingy that my roommate, Amy, took part of. It's kinda to help you understand your goals in life and start trusting yourself and other people... since I definitely need help with both of those. It's expensive but Amy was telling me that a lot of people donate and sponsor people through the workshops since it has helped them so much. I'll let you know how that goes since I'm excited to see what it's like.
I love my roommates, it's the perfect blend of privacy and hanging out. I love that I can just be by myself or hang out with them whenever I want, whereas before my roommates would make me feel guilty if I wanted to stay in my room. It feels like home I guess. Su Jin is an awesome cook and Amy and I like all of the same movies. It's just wonderful!

To end on a note of inspiration... If Gwen can open cabinets, so can you.
