Man, I am
struggling to find some funny story to entertain you with. This week has just
been crazy not too loaded on the funny side. Maybe a little bit unbelievable
too. I had a waterpolo game and a basketball game this week. I think I am
getting old. I only played half the game and yet, I was so exhausted from it.
The next day I was still tired. I never thought at the age of 20 I would feel
so old. Haha, but I am being an adult today. I am sitting and waiting for my
second interview of the week. This is one high class building and my interview
is on the 14th floor! That’s incredible to me. I just applied online
for this job. The people that came to Cougar College told me I was too young to
be eligible for a summer internship, but I submitted my application online and
lo and behold I got an interview just through my online application. So I
guess, this leads to story numbero uno.
I have never ridden
public transportation before. I looked up the weather for today, and it is
supposed to snow…so I decided not to drive. BUT, I didn’t know how in the world
I was going to get to downtown Salt Lake. Fortunately for me, the UTA recently
put in a magical train called the FrontRunner. I called up my all-knowing
cousin Woody and asked him how I could get to this certain address. He
researched and called me back and gave me excellent directions for how to get
here. I was planning to walk the mile from the station, but it turns out, there
was another train I could board and get almost exactly where I needed to be.
Sislaw was texting me and she was telling me how creepy public transportation
usually is and I really didn’t see anything sketchy on the FrontRunner so I was
thinking people just over react. I made it to Salt Lake and boarded the other train
that people can ride for free around Downtown Salt Lake. As I was sitting
there, more and more people were boarding and this is when I started to get a
little creeped out. For a long time I was the only girl on the train and a few
creepy men. I started getting antsy and I wasn’t sure if I was even on the
right train. I have just been a nervous wreck since last night so this was just
building up. I told myself to remain calm and trust the kind old man who told
me that this was the train I was supposed to be on. So, eventually we took off
and exit after exit I just worried a little bit more…but, I remember what Woody
told me and he was right, the train stopped right where I needed to get off to
go to the fancy building. I made it and I made it safely, and the security
guard here is so kind and he is letting me chill down here in the lobby until
my interview begins. I think this fancy building has the nicest, friendliest
security guards I have ever met. I have a really good seat for people watching
too. But, I need to do some studying so that concludes my story.
Oh, a follow
up from last weeks’ story about Run. The date didn’t happen…he went grocery
shopping. It sounds a lot worse than it is, but it did make me pretty mad.
Don’t worry though, Monday after volleyball class I gave him a piece of my
mind. We talked for about 30 minutes…basically until I told him everything I
thought and by the end he felt like the biggest jerk that walks on the planet.
I am glad that he feels bad about what happened and I think we cleared
everything up so we are just fine now. Things are pretty normal, at least I
think so. We shall see if he ever asks me out again. I told him I didn’t want a
pity date. I only want one if he is actually interested. Hmmm, we’ll see. At
least he knows where I stand.
Well, that’s
it.
Peace out.

p.s. I think
the interview went well, and I am back to me home safe and sound :)
