And, it just works.

It is shocking how well life works sometimes. Example: I get my new job at the library (which started today) and quit working at Walsh, just in time for Vacation Bible School to start at our church, which I get to help at from approximately 5:00 - 9:30 every night. And, just in time for the LAN party this weekend. Working 54 hours per week like I was, there'd be no way to handle that much stuff going on. But now that I'm down to 38 hours, it's all fine. Ok, so I would have had to take some vacation days - no huge problem. But it's things like this (and getting the job I wanted last year right after I decided to go to a local college, and randomly deciding at the last minute to go to the Career Center, and randomly deciding that I wanted to work at a library in the first place) that remind me to be thankful for either bizarre circumstantial luck, or divine intervention.

Staying Up

Well, I was about to go to bed, but then iTunes picked a piece of music that I very much like. So, now I have to stay up until it's finished. Might as well write a blog post, I suppose.

Last week (the week of the 4th) was probably the best week of my year so far. I only worked one day (Monday) and took the rest of the week off at both jobs, mostly to spend time with relatives, but also to just have plenty of down time and not have to worry about going anywhere or doing anything all week. I didn't know how much I needed the break until I was right in the middle of it. I got to play plenty of nifty board games, and hang out with cousins who I only see twice a year, and entertain (and be entertained by) my baby cousins, and etc.

I was planning to go to Cedar Point tomorrow, but Brian and I are hiding from the extreme heat and picking a later date when Mike and Ben can come as well. Too bad "a later date" is July 30th or 31st. But, oh well. I can't wait to ride the Maverick...

Also: I got a new full time job at the library: "Coordinator, Virtual Services". It's yet another step toward where I want to end up in 5-ish years, even though it'll be crazy going to school and working for 38 hours/week.

Ok, that's all for now.
