uh...

I miss my boyfriend.  He just got a promotion at his job and is working longer hours.  It's a management position so that means more paperwork.  I'm trying to be supportive but it's difficult because that means that he can't spend as much time with me as he used to.  And I feel like that's really selfish of me because he needs the extra cash so he can pay the bills and such.  But it's still difficult because I want time with him...ugh it's frustrating.  I'm trying to be that supportive girlfriend but I'd like to see him every once-in-a-while.  When will I get my time with him back?

Still in need of a vacation...

...and still don't have any money to do so. But I may be getting a new job soon (if it works out well with my mom getting a new job). I guess we shall see. Hopefully the money woes will soon leave me behind and I can start making my way out of debt. That seems to be the biggest worry of mine lately (as I'm sure it is with everyone else due to our shitty economy). And hopefully I'll get one of those stimulus checks sometime in the near future.

Well, enough about that. I'm currently in the longest relationship of my life. Congratulations to me! We celebrated 7 months yesterday via phone. Unfortunately, due to his promotion at work, we don't get to see each other as frequently as we used to. Oh well, I'm sure it'll work it's way out and we'll get to spend more time together eventually. Camp is coming up in 2 weeks! I'm excited about that! I always look forward to it because it's a time of reflection, and a time to get away as well. I hope that it's a good year this year.

I need a vacation...

...to someplace exotic. Like Hawaii. Or Fiji. Yeah, I think I'd rather go to Fiji at this point. I've always wanted to learn how to SCUBA dive and then go to Fiji and SCUBA dive there. The problem is that 1) I don't have any money and 2) I'm a horrible swimmer. But I'd still love to do it. I need to marry someone who is rich and will let me travel all over the world whenever I want. I don't think that person exists though. At least not yet. Oh well.

Just thinking out loud...

I'm thinking about joining the Peace Corps. I have my friend Kim to thank for that. She is leaving for Africa next month and I must say that I admire her for that. Well, her leaving got me thinking. I want to make a difference in this world. I'd love to work for an organization like the UN one day and working in the Peace Corps would give me some really good experience on my future resume. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud though. Two years is a long time to be away from my friends and family but it would give me a chance to see a part of the world that I wouldn't necessarily get to see otherwise. I looked at my options on where I could go and they are looking for people to go to Eastern Europe and Russia. If I went there, I would get the chance to take maybe some weekend-type trips back to Prague. I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud at the moment.
