Stuff No One Told Me: Everybody else

Stuff No One Told Me: Everybody else

Going to the dentist today. Yay for free cleanings, otherwise I'd be cancelling the appointment that I made back in January because I am going to Korea in a month, darlin', and I am broke until then. Plane tickets are expensive. Geez. And there's still a little concern as to whether the camp I'm going to be working at will cancel. I didn't even think that would be a concern until one of the camps that I had optioned going to (they were my second choice) emailed me and said that they were cancelling the camp. So my first choice became my only choice and I sent the documents off already and get to wait for my passport to come back with a c-4 visa in it and once it does, I will wait to see if the camp gets randomly cancelled and if it doesn't, I am a happy girl.

There are a lot of conditionals in this scenario. I don't really like it. I keep making backup plans but there aren't any to make. If the camp goes as planned, I go there, work, and come home with a wad of dough. If the camp does not go as plan, I go there, play, and come home pretty darn broke. Either way is going to be a good time!

I think I'm going to go through the elaborate steps required to procure a C-4 Visa for South Korea in the next few weeks or so. I'd say "days", but it's probably not going to be that soon. It's summer vacation, ya'll. I have sleeping to do.

Did 5k today!

Self high five!

I really should've known.

It's summer! Yay!
Except it's hot. Boo.
But no work! Yay!
But nothing to do. Boo.
But I might go to Korea for a summer camp job! Yay!
But it's going to be monsoon season. Boo.
I'll get to see friends and family and people that I miss! Yay!
Except I'm still waiting to receive the documents for my visa application. Boo.
Well in the meantime, I can watch more episodes of netflix! Yay!
Except I finished all the seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race. Boo.
Oh well, my favorite drag queen is going to be in San Antonio in August! Yay!
Oh wait, she's going to be there on a Thursday night and I can't miss work. Boo.
Well in the meantime I'll draw and write and read books! Yay!
Ergh, I'm feeling uninspired. Boo.
So I'll go visit my parents! They like me. Yay!
Wait, they have cats and I'm allergic and that makes vising miserable. Boo.
Well, I'll relax and hang out and have fun in my hometown! Yay!
Oh heck, who am I kidding, I miss having excitement in my life. Boo.


I didn't realize that settling down would be so freaking boring, ya'll. I mean, I really should have thought about it. When I chose to come back to Texas to get my teaching certificate and start being an adult, I forgot about all that being an adult entails. Do you know what being an adult entails? Going to work so that you can pay your bills so that you have a place to sleep so that you're rested for work.
You know what I've been most excited about lately? Eyeliner. I just bought a bright pink eyeliner from Urban Decay the other day. And Pandora Boxx. Because she's just so darn cute. Not career, not money, not art, not hot boys, nope. Makeup and drag queens. Oh, and I live in Texas so I should be excited about summer rodeos and horses or whatever but nope. Makeup and drag queens. Oh, and my 90's music station on Pandora.

I mean, though, I'm not complaining because I've got it pretty good. I have a job, people. That's pretty difficult. I have a 97% passing rate on my state standardized tests with a 43% commended rate. I am in the process of adapting an Oscar Wilde book for the One Act competition. I am going to try to finish my novel this month, too. And sew. And do origami. And yoga. I want to run in a 5k in November. My interests are varied, people. But I was sitting with a group of people and listening to them talk the other day and I guess I was grumpy but I felt like the conversation was just... uninspiring. I need some inspiration. I need a muse. I will see if Daniel Henney will volunteer.
