Yes, it is what you think it is....it's an ENGAGEMENT RING!
I know it's a little late on the posting, but I figured most people have seen this updated on facebook already, along with the pictures. So I will just copy and paste the short story I tagged along with the pictures on facebook.

Things have been high speed most days over here. But there are some days filled with nothingness, like today. Recent activities have included looking for a new job and starting my internship at Skylight Opera Theatre. I like my job at Aerie, but they're not giving me any hours. I've only been in there maybe two days in almost three weeks and if you know my situations money is crucial this summer. Gustavo also decided to look for other employment and found a job at Foran Spice Company, full time, 1st shift making $11.50 an hour. I was so proud of him! I also decided to try my luck there and got hired full time, 2nd shift, making $10 an hour. Prrrraise GOD! I am so relieved to have a good paying job for the summer (and also winter break!). The only downsides are; I won't be able to see Gustavo during the week since we work different shifts, I will smell like a spice rack everyday, and yes, it's factory work, so it's not the most glamorous job, but I COULD wear some glamorous clothes with the money I make! A plus side is that my weekends are free, no work. So I will still be able to spend time with my friends and boyfriend and go to church.

Speaking of church, I joined the choir! I'm so happy I did too, and I kick myself for not joining eariler! I think for some reason I thought there were going to be people that have been in the choir for 10 years all giving the stink eye to the new member, but it's nothing like that, it's church, they're nice people! I had no idea what I was thinking lol. I'm singing in the "Celebrate Freedom" presentation this last Sunday to honor America. I've been to it the last two years and I feel honored that I can now participate in it! Whenever I sing praise music I can always feel the Holy Spirit working in me, I love it!

Tomorrow morning is my orientation for my new job....and tomorrow afternoon I go work for Aerie..yeah...I think I'm going to tell them that I have to leave. I feel bad because I like the job and I've been there not even a month, but I feel they can give those 5 hours a week to another girl who has Aerie as her only income.

Don't know when I'll post again. But I realized I need new pictures on here..too much tying = bored readers. I don't know about you, but I love looking at pictures while I read.

MY LAPTOP GOT FIXED! Someone from Dell came over and fixed it the DAY the Sims 3 came out. I was able to install it on my laptop that day and play! That made my day! I love that game! =)

A lot of ups and downs this past week...let's share! =)

Good News:

• Today is my final day of exams, after that I'm free!
• Planning a lot of fun activities over summer with friends
• I got accepted into the BFA program
• I'm reading a good book called The Host
• I'm halfway through my college career, whoo!
• I PASSED ACCOUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• It's Survivor night...need I say more??

Bad News:

• Most importantly, my computer decided to stop working yesterday...I figured out it's the video card and should be easy to replace.
• Because of that, I have no direct form of entertainment..
• Also, I have to write this blog entry and do other computer related things on public computers..
• ALSO, what am I going to end up doing at work on Saturday since all I do is play on my computer!?!?!?
• I got a bad sore throat on Friday and it turned into me losing part of my voice. All I got to say is what the heck was I doing to lose my voice?? It's better now, so put that under good news.
• There are a lot of house repairs gonig on back at home that I have to look foreward to listening (not!)
• Brian and Grace broke up this week and I've been trying to handle that...ugh, TOO much with that to go into detail on here!
  

So as you can see I am very affected by my laptop not working. I've never had any problems with it in the two years I've had it. I can now see how much I really "depend" on a computer in my daily life, which is kind of sad. And not only for school work, but for entertainment too! I need a hobby. lol. So I will probably be reading a lot in my free time, and I have no idea what I'm going to do for 7 hours on Saturday when I work, because I'll I do is sit there and mess around on my computer!

Oh, and notice the caps for passing accounting, I was very proud of myself on that one. I've never studied so much for a class in my life, haha. And don't tell me that class was easy, because it was hard to me!!!

I probably won't blog until after I get home, which is Sunday. I know for sure I am going to spend the night over at Elly's from Monday to Tuesday. First, because I wanted to. Second, because I found out that our house is "sinking" lol, and there are going to be construction workers there all day on Tuesday trying to fix it and they want everyone out of the house. Great...but fun, cause I get to be with ELLY! =)  (and probably Gustavo, hehe).

I got my orientation rescheduled for Aerie on Wednesday. I'm actually really excited for this job! Afterwards, I'm going to do some shopping considering I have no clothes from there...hmm, maybe, right? Haha. I'm also really looking foreward to my internship, which I probably won't start until the following week.

So am I a junior in college now that I'm done with exams? It seems to early to say that!!!
