Even though I don't know what I'll be doing after I graduate in May, I'm looking for a part-time job now just to make some money during the school year. I applied to the Staybridge Suites hotel near my apartment. The woman there told me they are always hiring for part-time positions, but didn't know exactly which positions were being hired for at this time. It could be a while til I find out anything about that job. Then I read in the school paper that Ruby Tuesday is hiring for all positions right now. Since it's close to my apartment also, I figured it might be a good idea. I've worked in a restaurant before, but it's been four years. Working in a restaurant wouldn't be my first choice anyway, but it's a job :) So I'll turn in my application tomorrow and hopefully land a part-time to make some money.
I'd probably be pretty well off even if I don't get a job this school year. In the three years past I have not had a job during school and have had to make car payments, so by the end of the year I have been getting nervous about whether I'll have enough money to drive home in May! It's funny and upsetting at the same time. However, thanks to the HAIL of a hailstorm Los Alamos had in June which made my car look like it has cellulite, I received a nice check from our insurance company that will pay off the rest of my car payments :) I decided to take the money rather that get my car fixed, being that my car isn't new (10 years old) and I still think she's pretty. It's the inside that counts. It will be nice to not have to see $120 disappear from my checking account each month.
So that hailstorm helped, but I would still like to start saving up money for after graduation, and possibly a Vegas trip in the semi-near future and/or a spring break trip...I'm a senior after all, I have to celebrate my last year of college! It seems like I'm the only one who hasn't been to Vegas yet! And I would like to have a spring break trip to the beach somewhere. I'm not asking for much, am I ? :)

One time out a company I was working at had some painters "apparently" spray paint a building while our cars were in the parking lot, so everyone who had a car in the lot got some $. I think I got $900 for a paint job, I used that money to go to Baja and kiss gray whales. The teeny bit of paint on my 10 year old car came off with rubbing compound.
p.s. that "K" is your cousin, Kristine.
