Ducks, Sun and Jobs

So I went to Eugene this past weekend for my sisters track meet. My mom and I went to a park early in the morning, and they were lots of sleeping ducks. I think that's my new favorite thing to take pictures of...sleeping ducks. I understand why it's the U of Oregon ducks now...Eugene has tons of them! And it was sunny at the track meet! That was exciting.

My mom keeps complaining about our messy house, and how it was clean until I came home...oh welllllll. At least I know where everything is.

I need a job.

I applied at Taco Bell today.

yeah...i really need a job.

Why I like Oregon:

1) trees

2)non-fake people

3)Chipotle

4)My best friends are here

5) cute ducks

6) bikers

7)eugene hippies

as far as transferring...

I really want to go to UC Boulder...but out of state tuition is so expensive! or Mizzou...but that's also expensive, I may just end up at good old University of Oregon...of course I may just stay at MC if I happen to fall in love with in the fall and meet the man of my dreams.

we'll see.

I miss southern hospitality, the accents, the humidity and my fake sorority

My Late Birthday Adventure

So, I miss this. My adorable roommate, my next door neighbor, and of course, Hardin. My birthday was April 16th, but I was going to Indiana the day after. So on Sunday night, 2 days before we moved out, they threw a late birthday party for me. It was nice. Actually, I just like being blindfolded. We went around Clinton. I thought I was going to get kidnapped, because we were outside. Which of course would not happen in Clinton of all places. Then we went to Kroger to get food for my birthday surprise. It was kind of concerning because nobody in Kroger seemed to care that I was blindfolded. So if you are ever legitly going to kidnap someone...go to Kroger, where they don't look out for your safety.

So the evening ended with my 3rd birthday cake for the month of April. Well I had a cookie cake, a birthday cake at my design team meeting, and a red velvet cake that Britta made. I like cake. So it was perfect. And now I'm stuck at home. All alone. With nobody to bake me cakes and take me fun places. However, this will soon change when my friends come home.

Driving

"Amy, be careful driving. It's been raining outside. Of course, it shouldn't make a difference because you drive like a Grandma anyways"

wow. Thanks Mom!

This was my moms comment to me when I first got home and was going to go drive around.

I think she's made it her summer goal to get me to drive faster. Which is strange, because most people's moms want them to drive slower. I don't drive THAT slow. Just 5 miles under, as opposed to 5 miles over.

Then today, as I was driving to McMinville for my sister's track meet.

"Amy, people are going to think you're drunk, don't go so far over to the right"

my excuse: i don't want to hit cars. Perfectly legit.

I now know where I get my horrible back-seat driving from.

I've also discovered another thing in the last few weeks. You know those people that get into their cars, and you get really excited, but they proceed to sit there and not move for the next 5 minutes. Yes, I'm "that" person, haha, oh well! I just always have so much stuff to do when I get in my car

Summer?

Ok, so yes, it is MY summer, but it's not really "summer" until everyone else is home also!

I've been hanging out with middle aged moms with children, elderly people and wealthy people that don't need to work for the past few weeks. I would love to see somebody my own age in a store in the middle of the day!

My friends should all be home by June 13th

My sister and my high school friends get out of school June 17th.

And it is supposed to rain for 9 of the next 10 days...

Typical Oregon. I like rain. But when I'm inside Rain is nice here though. It's not all humid an nasty.

I experienced 100% humidity in Mississippi..it's not rain, it's mist. And it's a strange feeling.

On the plus side, I am going to have an easier time finding a job, because I'm here, and they aren't. I interviewed at Hollister, and I have an interview at Sonic tomorrow. I don't want to work at either of those places. All I really want to do is work at American Eagle and get my 40% off discount. I don't think they are hiring though. Sad day!

I'm not sure what my point of this blog is. I just wanted to write random things as I thought of them.

I seem to be having really bad luck in parking lots this week. Apparently my sea-foam green mazda protege is invisible, because people keep almost backing into me. Like a Lowes semi-truck. Luckily he was only going like 2 mph max...because i mean, he was in a parking spot.

the Oregon motto.."if you don't like the weather wait a few minutes" has proven true in my blog writing just now. At first it was pouring, then it stopped, and now it's just really windy
