New Job!

I got a job today! I had a group interview at Aeropostale, at the mall. We had the interview, which was pretty short, and the manager told us that she would call us by Monday about the job. I went back into the store (we had the interview in the food court) to look at clothes, since I have to wear their brand or clothes like them, and the manager called me over and offered me the job right there! It was such a God-thing, since I've been trying for three weeks to get a job and had two other interviews and this one went so well. I think it will be a pretty fun job, too- just helping people buy clothes and keeping the clothes in order. I have start next week with training on Monday. Thank you, Lord!
Here are two of the shirts I got for work:

Home For The Summer :)

(watching one of Daniel's basball games ;) )
I got home on Wednesday night around eight o'clock. It was so nice to be home and to see Grandma Rosie again too. Since then we've been in the kitchen, out to tea, shopping, and out to see the horses. It's a wonderful feeling to be home for three months with no homework ;)
So far, my plans for the summer include reading books, spending time in the kitchen, getting a job, going to Israel, and talking to friends, both here and in Michigan. I'll miss them but I'm excited to see the people I've been away from for three months. :)
Yesterday, we had mother's day lunch (fish, rice, asparagus, pineapple, cherries, and challah, mmm!) and then we had a little birthday party for Grandma. We made a little brownie-cake (just bakes the brownies in a springform pan!) and drizzled caramel over the top, then sprinkled crushed peanuts on top. It was good! It's nice to have her here.
Today, it's supposed to get up to eighty, and I'm going to do a little baking before I go out and read in the sunshine!

The Final Weekend

This is the last weekend of my freshman year at Hillsdale! It's finals week, and it seems like there are more study break opportunities than ever... not good for me, because I still have all five finals coming up! Most of my friends have taken one or two already. Oh well, we'll all be studying crazily together this evening. Thursday night I went through older chapters of Wheelock to test my memory, and I was amazed at how good it was for practicing vocabulary! So that's one final looking a little less scary ;)
Last night some of our guy friends brought pizza over to our room, which was really nice and really fun. Then today we're going to "Seize the Cheese" (haha, don't ask why that's what they chose) Which is a picnic and then a race down a hill after a big wheel of cheese. =) Should be pretty hilarious! Then it's back to Wheelock, West, Hamilton, Jefferson...
God bless your weekends :=)
