Plans

So here's an interesting fact, I'm currently living on about half of what is projected as the poverty line for the state of Washington. ^_^v Also, my job is getting easier as I figure out what the heck I'm supposed to be doing. I'm only getting about 20 hours a week, hence the low income. If I can avoid it, though, I'd rather not work more. Though really I probably should try.

I've been approved to have an interview with the JET program that I applied for. I'm not yet accepted, but it's a clear possibility, which is awesome. I'm a bit of a Japan-o-phile, so living there for a year will be all sorts of fun and informative. It will also greatly up my chances of getting into graduate school. :P Speaking of graduate school, there's nothing like working as a waitress to spur me on to further my education. I'd rather stab chopsticks through both my eyes than do this for the next few years.

In other news, I'm discovering first-hand just how fun long-distance dating is. It makes me want to rip my hair out and make other very unwise decisions. Like moving. As frusterating as it can be, though, I'm fond enough of him to do everything in my power to make it work regardless. And really, given my previous relationship history this is probably rather good for me.
