*UPDATE*

Well I promised an update when I finally had some good news! Here it is! I recently accepted a position working for my good friend Kelly at Hallmark in Plover. I love it there so much! A lot to learn and do, but it will be great! I also am involved in Wausau Community Theatre's production of "The Sound of Music"! I'm portraying Sister Margarhetta and am sooo enjoying my time back on the stage after almost two years away from it!
Summer continues to go well and I am enjoying every bit of it! I'm looking forward to the fall when I get back into school and see everyone I love so much again! I will also begin taking lessons at the Wausau Conservatory as well this fall and cannot wait to start singing a ton again! I'm working on saving money so that I can still get into my apartment by fall as well! YAY! That is all for now!

Peace and Harmony!

Changes...

Well this past week has certainly been an interesting one and led to some unfortunate things. It started off great last week friday with my 23rd birthday. Great day! The week seemed to continue normally until Wednesday, June 10th. I was called into my bosses office along with one other lady and was let go from my job at sentry insurance due to financial cutbacks. I was in shock for the next few days! Luckily I had gotten a job at Bills Pizza here in town the week prior. So at least I have that. Now I am back on the job hunt and have a couple different jobs I am looking at (one being back at sentry that I really hope to get). So once again I will keep you all updated on my future here, but for now....

Peace and Harmony!

Pressures



Well this isn't exactly the first time I've attempted to as Shawn Connelly would put it at "digitalizing life". I had a travel blog throughout my study abroad journeys in London and just decided that this new blog would help me share my adventures in growing up in todays society.
It's a tough world out there, we all know it. Jobs are disappearing quicker than we know, money is becoming more and more scarce, and I believe we are all afraid of this. I've recently come upon the opportunity to move into my own apartment. It's a great place and I'm very excited to finally be on my own and learn how to depend on just myself. My only issue with this is money. My current position at Sentry Insurance is an on-call position and is only 19 hours a week. Not exactly the money maker here. So I'm pressured into finding a second job. Not as easy as I thought it would be. 7 applications in one week. Whew! I'm currently now just waiting on some answers and praying for a good outcome.
Like I said its a tough world and I pray for anyone being laid off or fired due to cut backs that something better comes your way and makes you happy! Well I suppose I am off for now. More updates will follow once I get more news back!

Peace and Harmony!
