My baby

So I finally got a car. After driving around in it for a while I've decided she's definitely a girl. With much help from a co-worker, I've decided to name her Ruby. She's got a little attitude, and I like that. I can sit in her and speak to her in Spanish and she totally gets me. I've only had her for a few weeks, but already I can't imagine her not being in my life. We're super close and she's soon becoming my best friend (about time I got another one...).

With new friendship comes new responsibility. Hence, I've been trying to keep up with maintenence and learning about things. But I noticed the other day that she needed gas. I spent like half an hour looking for the button or lever that you push in the car to release the little gas door thingy. Nothing. She's been close to empty for a few days and I haven't taken her anywhere because I couldn't figure it out. I didn't want her to feel I'm just using her for rides (I really do value our friendship!!), especially since I'll be going to SLC tonight to visit a couple brothers. I decided today it was time to take our friendship to the next level, and I did a thourough search of every little knob or lever in my car. FINALLY, I discovered you had to push down the same lever used to open the trunk. Wow. Really? It took me this long to figure that out? But it wasn't exactly my fault, cause the labeling of the lever has rubbed off so Ruby was deceiving me a little. I felt kind of betrayed, but if she doesn't give me any more problems tonight I will forgive her.

P.S. should I be worried that I'm falling in love with her?

Career? What career?

So I graduate in April, and while I'm super excited to finally be done, I loathe job hunting. I've applied for several already and have heard back from one place, where I didn't feel confident that I could work for them. But right now I'm in the process of applying for a summer teaching job up in Denver. It'll pay well and they'll provide driving compensation. Plus, I think it'd be a cool thing to say I've done. And it'll only last a summer. Other than that, nothing new going on...
