I have the paint (darker shade of current color) to do an accent wall where the posters are to the right of the window. I probably will do it eventually, I was just all painted out at that point! haha
... So, there you goes!

Oh yeah... I HAVE A JOB!
So I somehow managed to miss posting that I am (assuming background checks clear which better not be an issue) the new Event Planner for the DePaul University College of Computing and Digital Media!
After what I felt, and clear was, an excellent interview last week I heard on Tuesday from DePaul's HR department that I was being offered the position. I of course accepted it right away, who in my position wouldn't right!?!
Well they explained the benefits and all that to me because guess what?! I am a full time, salaried, administrator! I never thought I would at 23 and before I even started my masters program would have this type of job. On top of that it's pretty much exactly what I want to be doing with my life! On top of that top it's a brand new position so once I fix the issues within the office organization wise they said I could start branching into other aspects of thing if I wanted!
I am so blessed that I am able to have this job. Now I get to sit back and actually relax in Chicago and not be spazzing and stressing that I'm jobless! I start July 11th so I have plenty of time. Which is good time to have because I'm pretty sure once I start I am going to be busy, busy, busy!

Kind of Weird Dream
RANDOM!!!
So I had a dream last night and the only bit I can remember is that I was on vacation or just a trip or something with my family. We went to some restaurant and there were shops and stuff kind of like Frankenmuth, but it wasn't there. We finish eating and we all kind of split off and go our own ways to shop. I randomly come across a pen (like a child's accordion gate thing) of penguins! The gate randomly falls down and a rush of penguins come running out and one jumps on my leg and then manages to climb onto my shoulder (not quite sure how that worked). Anyway, not sure what happened from there but then I also gained this little Asian boy at some point. He was probably between 3 and 5 years old and we just walked around and looked at stuff. Not quite sure what happened to the penguin. The kid kind of took a liking to me and I seemed to also take a liking to him. He was soooo damn adorable! Then right before I woke up I remember him saying don't go as he jumped into my arm with a little stuffed penguin doll... well I know where the penguin went! haha But yeah, I can't get the kids face out of my mind.
Not sure if that means ANYTHING at all. I will leave that up to the resident dream gurus.

Cartoon Crushes!
So I stated watching Gundam Wing again. Which for those who are left in the dark, it's an older anime series that was on Cartoon Network's Toonami for a while back in the day. Anyway, with that I realized looking back that three of the main characters on the show were totally some of my first crushes. Yes, they are all male characters and yes, this was WAY before I even thought I was gay. So it's extra funny for me now!
So character one was Heero Yuy. He's kind of that bad ass kid who (well is a trained combat fighter) is just sexy because he's such an asshole!

Next we have Zechs Merquise also known as Milliardo Peacecraft. He's starts the series as the bad guy who is a soldier and ends up remembering his past as a Peacecraft and goes good guyish. In the end he goes from hot bad guy to really hot not so bad guy!
Finally from Gundam Wing was a mister Treize Khushrenada. Zechs' boss I guess you could say.
But not to forget my other favorite childhood anime cartoon was Outlaw Star. From that show there was Gene Starwind. He was just super cute to me!
Well, that's my random rant. It popped into my head as I was watching and figured it would be interesting!

I Hate Phones
First week I'm here with interview(s) around the corner and what does my phone decide to do at about 8pm last night? That's right, it dropped service. I got home that night and turned it on and off, took the battery out, left it out all night hoping that in the morning it would work again... nope!
I was going to spend the day working on my interview homework for tomorrow. I added a trip to Verizon to the agenda figuring it would be some quick simple fix... nope again! I got to the stop and the guy at the counter (Chris, who was pretty cute I might add) was pretty confused on why it wouldn't be working. He ended up calling customer service and they said to restore the phone so we did that... nothing. So the next option is to re-flash (I think that was code for update) the phone. However, the store I was at didn't have the equipment to do that so I had to trek it over to the store on Michigan Ave, which is about a 20-25 min walk... it's 95 degrees out, sweet!
So I get to the Mich Ave. store and there's like a 20 min wait to see someone, whatever, there's A/C so no complaints from me on that one! Get to the counter and apparently it takes about 15-20mins to do whatever to the phone. Again, whatever, I went next door and had some Panda Express.... mmmmmmmmm tasty. Get back to the store hoping the flashing it worked... nope yet again!
Now I get to trek it back over to the first store because Chris (cute guy at the counter) said he had some old flip phones he could loan me. I get there and there's another wait, again, no worries there's A/C. So now I have this awesome janktastic Samsung flip phone that doesn't have a camera (guess it makes it REALLY old) and there is a 911 button in it which I have never seen on a phone before. I'm just hoping that I don't accidentally hit it... that could end poorly.
Well, now I'm on to working on my interview homework that I was planning on starting like 3 hours ago.

My New Place
So move in was a snap with the help of my family! Special shout out to Mom, Dad, Matt, Dan, Kristine and Anna for all the help! Alrighty, so mind you there are still quite a few things out of place that need to find a home, but it's pretty much done. I also intend, once I get some funds coming in, to paint the living space. Probably a blue of some sort.
As a refresher: I am living in the Gold Coast neighborhood, which is kind of the north end of downtown I guess. I'm on the 8th floor of my building and my window faces west so I actually get some really sun in my apartment!
But enough of all the chatter, here are the pictures I'm sure you are wanting to see. Welcome to my digs!
(Click to enlarge!)
