Leah - Update

So I thought I would update seeing as though I hardly ever do and it seems to be the trend nowadays. Today I'm "working" at SU...getting paid to update the blog (and shred some paper and make some booklets). So far in the minimal assignments I was given, I have killed the booklet making machine and ran out of magenta printer ink and now I have nothing to do. Good thing this doesnt happen at my other job! haha

So speaking of the vet job..things are becoming much less awkward with my coworkers (we are going to eat some pizza tonight) and I'm learning a lot. I even successfully wrangled a mini-lion the other day. We mostly get in dogs and cats but we did get in a pig about a week ago so that was interesting. My days go by quickly and I'm hardly ever bored, so I have nothing to complain about. Next week I get Thursday and Friday off so Tony and I are off to his cottage in Canada on Wednesday after work. I'm very much looking forward to that.

I am also in the process of debating with myself about moving out of my house. Ariel still doesnt have a job (but does have a few prospects!) and she feels that she wont be able to or want to move out until later in the fall (which is totally understandable just a bummer for me). And if my plans of going to grad school go through (I keep telling myself that I AM going so that I don't flake out and never go), I wont be able to start renting a house after August (because of year-long leases and my having to go to grad school potentially next August). Therefore, I either need to find my own apartment or stay home for a year or so longer. I am looking at 2 studios (one today in the SU area and one next week right across the street from my work), but I am also wondering if it is even worth it. Think of all the money I could save! (but then I also think of my boring routine of going home to my bedroom every night feeling like I'm a 10th grader...also, in an apartment, I could have a cat at least...even a dog maybe!) Thoughts anyone?

So I'm glad we have this blog...I miss you all tremendously! Those of you we haven't heard from lately, update us!

Love, Leah

Hmmm that is a predicament... I think that I would probably stay at home. I mean you will save a lot of money, and it's not like you dislike being there. Plus, more incentive to go to Grad school eventually and you won't have to live all alone.

Although, it would be nice to have a little independence and a cat! There is plenty of time for that though.

Your job sounds sooo fun to me- I always wanted to work in a vet's office! I'm glad it's going well.
