It always fascinates me how quickly things can change. A week ago I was depressed and lamenting everything, but right now I'm feeling really really good.

I got a job at Blockbuster. For those of you following, this was the third time I'd interviewed there, and I wasn't holding out much hope. So I was pleasantly surprised when the manager called me yesterday. I had five hours of training this afternoon, and I just walked in the door after picking out my five free rentals for the week.

Now, getting a job at a place like Blockbuster probably isn't too impressive to most people. Hell, I'll be working with high schoolers. But you know what? After years of fast food, I think I'll really like it. And as I mentioned, five free rentals a week, which is more than nice. I get to see pre-streets, too, so I can see movies before they're released to the public. I think I need a computer with a bigger hard drive for all the burning I'll be doing.

School's sounding pretty good, too. I should easily be able to pay off ISU in time to get my transcripts sent off by spring, but even if I don't, there's nothing wrong with community college for a year. Hell, it'll be a sort of vacation. And I get a work-study job out of it, which is really nice. 15 hours a week in the library...can't go wrong with that. So, with Western Illinois possible by spring, I'm good to go.

All in all, life's looking up.

That's awesome! I'm so excited for you! Working at a video store is actually a really cool gig. I worked at Hollywood Video for a summer when I was in college. I love movies, so it was great to watch anything I wanted. It was a fun time for me, lots of good stories if you want to hear any. I've actually thought of getting a job there on the weekends, just for fun, either that or Barnes and Noble. But honestly I don't need a weekend job, I just get bored. Oh well.
