Summer has begun.

Summer's off to a decent start. I went out to NE again to kick it off, and it was a good trip. I got to spend another night on campus, and I feel even more ready than ever to be out there. I got to see Iron Man in all of its amazingness, too. There was a lot of reading time during the trip, so I was a happy camper. Good company never hurts, either.

Now I've moved on to the next phase of summer: get a job.

Places I've Applied:
- Marble Slab (Coldstone's competition)
- Milaeger's (a greenhouse/giftwares kinda deal)
- Borzynski's (like Milaeger's)
- Barnes and Noble
- Kohl's Department Store (Do they even have the grocery stores anymore?)
- Home Depot
- Steve and Barry's
- T.J. Maxx
- Express Personnel Services (except it has a different name now...)
- Chuck E. Cheese (As a cashier, not a character. The costumes would be too big, haaa.)
- Panera
- Bed Bath and Beyond

I'm also applying at Dinner By Design, which I think would be a fun job. I'm keeping my fingers crossed especially for that one and Steve and Barry's, and of course b&n, but it didn't sound like b&n really is hiring right now. The last two on the list already told me they can't hire me since I just want a summer job, but that's okay. We'll see what happens.

I also drove on the interstate by myself today, so I feel like I could conquer the world right now. Oh, and the coffee helps encourage that feeling, too. =o)
