Abundant Opportunities Results in Rational Optimism

Ooh, look how deep I am! I came up with that title all on my own. Go ahead and bask in my amazingness. DO IT!!

Or not. You know, whatever.

*Ahem*

Last weekend was a total blast - it was so much fun to see so many friends, and there were people who had left to go all across the country who came down for the weekend! AND, I managed to only spend 30 bucks the whole weekend! Ah, I impress even myself sometimes with my frugality...
This week has surfaced a LOT of opportunities for me job-wise... I will have an interview on Tuesday (still waiting for the confirmation on that one) and then I have another interview on the 29th. Plus, I got called this morning to come in today for work, and I've got something lined up for next Thursday, Friday and the following Monday. So with all the days I've worked this month, I'll have managed to make enough to cover all my expenses. Unfortunately not enough to start growing my savings again, but at least it's enough that I don't have to dig into it!
This week my boyfriend's brother and his girlfriend also came to town and stayed at our place. I was a bad girl and skipped class last night to hang out with them and go for dinner, but I had a really good time. After all the job possibilities open to me, I really feel that I'm going to land something within the next couple weeks, and that makes it easier to relax and enjoy the time that I have now to chill out and not do anything.
Oh! I also drove all the way from my house to the beer store and back! (That's like a few km?) That includes backing out of the driveway, maneuvering in the parking lot, parking, manuevering around the parking lot again, and driving all the way home! I'm working up to driving on main roads now... it's still a little advanced for me, but I'm getting a lot more comfortable in the driver's seat!

I Feel Silly... Oh So Silly...

So tomorrow I'm going to London on the weekend to visit some friends who live there as well people from the Cornwall/Ottawa area who are coming to town as well. I got a text this morning from one of my friends from Cornwall, asking if I wanted a ride because he was going to be passing through Toronto sometime this afternoon. I told him I was already getting a ride with another friend tomorrow afternoon, and that I'd see him then. Then I got another text saying "Are you working today? I'm in Toronto....." and for some reason, even though it was a different area code number (no name popped up), I assumed it was him again and I felt bad for not offering at least to get together while he's in town, so I said we could meet up after I was finished and maybe catch dinner. Texts go back and forth, I find out they're going to Dane Cook tonight and all the text messages say "we" are doing this or that. So I ask who's all with him, and he says Melissa and a bunch of other people. In our circle of friends, we don't have a mutual friend named Melissa... then it hit me that I had texted back my other friend using his contact on my cell, so why would he all of a sudden be texting me from an unknown number with a different area code? Then it hit me who had a friend named Melissa that I know - one of my best friends and roommates from University!! So now I'm meeting up with her while she's in town.
