Smarty Smart

I just found out last night while on Trax going to school that I have classes at the Library Square campus and not the Liberty Square. Personally I think Liberty Square flows better but that's just me.

New outfit and nowhere to go

As you can tell from my title the interview didn't go as well as I would have liked. Yesterday Omar wanted to go with me to run some errands. The errands that I needed to run were finding a new outfit for my interview. That is always a fun adventure. I don't like clothes shopping at all. And don't get me started on having to try things on. I just don't do it. Well as you can guess the shopping trip wasn't fun at all. I went from store to store looking for something to jump out at me saying "buy me and I guarantee you a job". Omar can only take shopping for soo long so after the 1st store he was done. To be honest with you I was too but I needed an outfit.

So with outfit on plus jewelry (I don't wear jewelry regularly but desperate times call for desperate measures ) I drove to salt lake were my interview was arriving 10min early of course. I get in the room and there are 4 people wanting to interview me. 4 people just for a part-time student like job. I do the shake everyones hands, sit down, lets get started. The head interviewer says "I want to give you a brief summary of what we are looking for ". Then the next thing out of her mouth is "the position is from 4pm to 8pm. What!!!! I specificly setup my schedule so that I am taking classes in the evening so I could work during the day. So needless to say the interview stopped 3min after I arrived and I still have no job. Back to the drawing board for me. I HATE DOING THIS

Back with a snazy new Laptop

Yup thats right I have a new laptop so no excusses for not updating the blog. Since moving we have been staying with Omar's family (Thank you Thank you) while we started to figure things out on what we want to do/where we want to live. We Finally recieved our DITY money so we have the funds to go apartment hunting. Omar was able to work for the Guard for 3 wks once we moved back and now will be working in Murray starting Tues. That is a great blessing b/c I have not had that great of luck in the job search. I have sent out many many applications and have only heard back from 2 places. One of them was from a place in Park City and that is just too far for me to travel and going thru Parleys Canyon in the winter is not my kind of fun if you know what I mean. The 2nd place I have an interview with them on Tues. its in Salt Lake so wish me luck!!!
So what does Michelle do all day with no job. Well I am in school. I haven't been in school since 07 so I am pretty stoked to be taking classes. So stoked that I am taking 16 credits this semester. I am in the Paralegal Program at SLCC I am taking all of my classes up at the Liberty Square campus downtown. With the free bus/trax pass it is a breeze commuting from Lehi to Downtown. I am really excited about my program and what I can do in the real world after I graduate. I have always loved the law. Watching Law and Order and all of those other crime shows so I think I have found what I want to do as a career. Its a nice feeling to know that you are studying to do something that you really know you are going to enjoy more than 75% of the time.
We don't have any pictures yet b/c the cord is pack away with all of our stuff. But rest asured we still look the same. Once we get our stuff in our new home we will have some pictures
