I frequently find myself thinking of things that I want to get better at. I've decided to compile a list of these things that, sadly, I may have hit my peak of ability and/or knowledge.
1. Lindy Hop
2. Spanish
3. Grades
4. Singing
5. Crafty things
6. Saving a lot of money
7. Solo jazz
I'll probably add more later. This is all that's been on my mind lately though.

Cereal for Dinner, Tacks for Snacks
That title is a subtle shout out to one of my past favorite, long lost bands, Panic! at the Disco.
I'm currently typing this while dodging the tail and backside of my cat who feels neglected because my father is out of town (seriously, she can't stay off of my desk while I'm using it). Now you may ask, "Katie, why is your father out of town?" and my answer would be "celebrating his big 5-0 with my mother, as well as their 23rd wedding anniversary." They're in random parts of Arizona, currently Sedona, while my sister and I chose to stay home to work, chill, and celebrate my own birthday (woo hoo, big 2-2!).
Living alone with no parents has been, interesting. It's been a really big look into the real world of adults. As you can figure from the title, I've been eating cereal for dinner, and leftover penne chicken alfredo that Adam and I made on my birthday. I did realize that living alone inspires me to do the dishes right after using them (hooray initiative!). I'm also realizing that having a cat is more work than just cuddling. She's gotta eat, poop, eat, poop, claw on your door at 5 am, jump on you at 5:05 am, and sneak out of the house at least 12 times when your friends are visiting. I've also kind of been keeping up with the list of things my parents left me to do, like feed the fish. Watering the plants is also on there, but it rained yesterday, so, done! I tend to just ignore the list. Well, not ignore it, but treat it as a guideline. Plus side of being home alone, I get to drive my mom's new car around *thumbs up*
Being alone at home, with my sister here sometimes, is incredibly unnerving. While I realize that the actual chance of a strange man breaking into my house in the middle of the night, and stabbing me/raping me/staring at me while I sleep, and taking the $30 that currently resides in my purse is very slim, the chance seems more slim when my dad is sleeping upstairs. Just last night, Alyse and I were in our respective rooms after hanging out for a while, when a loud banging noise came from the basement. We both jumped and exclaimed "what was that?!" It sounded like the washer/dryer, so I figured that Lillian had jumped on it or something, but I still hesitated walking down the stairs, and thought about grabbing a giant knife for about 10 seconds. My heart was racing, and I think I overreacted a little bit.
I have two more days of alone-ness, mostly taken up by class and work, so we'll see how it goes. Soon my mommy and daddy will be back with presents from the far west!
Picture posts to come soon!
I'm having a huge craving for blues/acoustic/R&B music. I'm gonna go clean my room to that now. Clean rooms are adult....ly....!

The Trouble with Blogging Is...
Is it a good thing that keeping up with my blog is my biggest problem in life right now? I'm gonna take a stab at it and say yes. Another problem used to be that I thought my computer was going to blow up. After two minutes of sitting there, scrolling through Tumblr, the fan would begin doing this incredibly loud roaring thing, the whole machine would get about as hot as, well, Ryan Gosling (and that's pretty damned hot). I decided that it was probably almost time for a new computer, so I promptly told my parents I would like to get one, and my mother replied with "How much money do you have saved for one?" My response, this face:
So I promptly decided that I would clean out my computer fan (like last time this happened) with canned air. Last time I did it, a crap ton of dust blew out and onto my belongings. This time, nothing flew out (that I could see at least), but I've been sitting here on my computer for at least two hours, and it's still purring like a kitten. The temperature of my computer is no longer at "Ryan Gosling," but more of a "fairly attractive guy you see on the RTA but don't want to waste time talking to him" temperature.
The whole point of that little story is that for a while, when my computer wanted to blast off into space, I would get really annoyed by it, so I decided to stop using it and just utilize my smartphone for its internetting abilities. But since I miraculously cured my computer (for now), I'm going to attempt to blog again.
Topic of the day: The Trouble with Blogging Is...
1. I sometimes don't know what to write. I don't know how these weekly bloggers always have things to write about! Maybe they're just more adventurous than I am and have a lot more going on in their lives.
2. I've mentioned this before, but I feel like my blog is pointless. It kind of functions as a journal, but if it's a journal, why make it public? I'm not living the life of Anne Frank, or Bridget Jones. I'm not that interesting. Or so I think.
3. I don't think I'm good enough to read. Lately, I've been reading a fellow classmate of mine's blog. She's a writer, a hilarious one at that, and has awesome stories about her move to Chicago from Akron as a new graduate. I enjoy reading it so much because it's funny and relatable (Blogger says that's not a word. I beg to differ).
4. MOTIVATION. Motivation to sit down and blog for however much time it takes. Motivation to actually be there and publish a post for any devoted followers (raise your hands). Motivations period.
Why I'm going to say "Screw all of you troubles, I'm bigger than you!":
1. I'm going to try to write down a topic to write about throughout the week. I'm at the point in my life now where I feel like I'm an adult, and actual functioning human being with things going on in my life. Discovering new things daily. There's got to be something to write about. If I need to steal inspiration from other blogs, then so be it (not actually stealing, just idealizing) (Wait, idealizing is a word?)
2. People actually yell at me when I don't publish new posts for a while. I guess people are reading. Cheers to you. Let's go out for drinks and celebrate. For real though, I want to go out like real people and step away from the internets.
3. I've been feeling incredibly witty with my words lately, and a tiny bit creative. Therefore, I think my posts might be a little bit more interesting to read. With a little inspiration and a lot of, well, other inspiration, I too can be interesting!
4. I've been motivated to work out weekly, and I've been motivated to study, so why not be motivated to blog on a more frequent basis? My life is currently filled with all of the motivation.
I swear, this is the last post about me keeping up my blog. I'll have some more posts coming up very soonly about my classes at "Not Wooster" aka Cleveland State University. Just to be on top of everything, feel free to follow my blog publicly. I know you're reading it! Now own up to it! Do it!
I might try to fancy up my blog by linking it to others. Help me out Fenna, and teach me your ways!
Until next post, here's some positivity for everyone:
I've got all the money I'll ever need, if I die by four o'clock.

I'm Not Dead
Hey guys, I know it seems like I'm dead, due to the lack of posts, but I'm back! I've been kind of having a slump figuring out what to write about, when to write, etc. But now my life has a steady flow, so I'm writing now!
Let's see. Let me mentally list the things I need to talk about (CSU, UH, boyfriend, money, summer)= basically everything I always talk about. I seriously need to learn to break things down into separate posts.
Well, I was accepted as a non-degree student at CSU! The acceptance feels really good, although it's really easy to get into and I'm pretty sure they don't turn anyone down, it's much better than the rejection I had been getting. I think I need to take about 6 credits, or 2 classes a semester. I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out which classes to take, since I'm kind of limited to Tuesday-Thursday mornings. I might not end up being able to take a language course (I'd really like to take Italian), but I'll probably just end up taking a course that I really liked again, such as Phonetics or Language Development.
I've started working on my own at my new secretary job. I really like it, and I feel independent and like I'm really able to do everything. I truly enjoy my job. And this will get me through grad school. Hopefully I can start volunteering at the Rainbow Speech Therapy clinic during my free time.
Adam came and visited last week! We were able to spend the 4th of July together, and almost an entire week after that. We went shopping, to the parade and a pig roast where he played with my cousins (so cute!), watched airplanes, and he waited at home for me while I was at work (like real life!). It was so wonderful, and he got to spend some bonding time with my parents as well. I like that. I don't get to see him for another two weeks, but when that comes around it will be wonderful! We're going to Kelley's Island, and an Indians game, and we'll just have a blast. I'm so excited.
Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the St. Charles Carnival tonight, or maybe go dancing. Katie and I went to Tremont yesterday (I bought a dress and a cute bag for school), and we found all kinds of events going on this summer. Like I said before, I really want to keep up with stuff like that and go do artsy things. There's an exhibition at the art museum that I would like to go to. It's about the 1920's. There's just so much to do. I also have a wedding next week, in Chicago, I'll definitely blog about that! All of the things!!
I'll try to keep up on this blog a bit more. I'm sure I'll have individual things to talk about soon enough. I'm not going to write about money or summer, though I am saving my money for trips with Adam, as well as spending it on a passport since we all know he loves to travel. I'm really excited. He also sent me this article, which added to my motivation to travel with him: http://convergemagazine.com/featured/travel-young/
Stuff just works.
Oh, I got a smart phone. I'm moving up in the world. It's a Droid Razr. I'm going to be taking lots of pictures with it.

Sorry for the lack of content
Hello all! I know it's been a while since I've blogged, and that's because all I've been doing the past week or so has been working. I'm starting to get the hang of the fast paced hospital routine, hopefully I'll get the hang of it by the time I'm on my own. I start training on evening shift tonight, 3-11:30. That should be interesting.
Speaking of my new job, apparently I was a retard an entered my routing number incorrectly on my direct deposit forms, sooooooo I didn't get paid. I've been sitting here waiting on it, hoping it will deposit so I can buy things and get my hair done tomorrow! I don't want to have to move money over from my savings. I hate doing that. In the mean time, I guess I can try to budget it since I do know how much I was supposed to be paid.
More news in money, I got my security deposit back from Wooster. They charged me for a late check out, which I don't understand because I was a senior, and they also charged me some outrageous $100 fee. I'm calling today to bitch them out.
No news yet on the CSU classes or program. I just emailed a new lady yesterday, so hopefully she'll get back to me.
I had planned to start working out in the morning this week, but as you can see, I'm writing this instead of being outside biking or doing Zumba. The weather is actually really nice for being active, (cloudy and 65 degrees). Perhaps I'll get my butt out there after this.
On Saturday, I went with a bunch of Wooster friends to go see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the House of Blues. It's my second time seeing them and they're always a lot of fun. We saw a few of our friends from the Cleveland dance scene out there as well. I really liked dancing to my favorite local band, The Madison Crawl, just because I like their music a bit more (and the fans always flood the floor once the main band comes on). We kept getting compliments on our dancing from people who were sitting or standing near us. It made me feel good because I haven't danced in the longest time, and I felt like I had started to lose what I had worked so hard to build up. If time permits, I'll also be going dancing this Saturday at the new location for the Get Hep Swing dances.
Not too much else to report on. If I find something, I'll get at ya.
No new pictures either, so instead, I'll post a picture of Kermit from Jenna Marbles.

Motivation to be Motivated
Hey guys! It's summer! You all know what that means: bikinis, crop tops, short shorts, allergies, living at home after graduating from college....
Okay, so those last two kind of suck, but I'm trying to get over them. Something that I seem to be lacking lately is motivation. I've started a new 8 hour work day job (in addition to whatever I can put in at VS), which takes up my time from about 6am to 4 pm. When I get home, I'm absolutely wiped out and just want to pass out. On my days off, I like to take advantage of the ability to sleep in, and I end up doing so until about 11am. Being that I would like to get back into shape for this summer, I'm going to try to get a daily workout and productivity regimen going. This is in the first few stages, so it's just going to be a giant list (you know me and lists). Here's what I would LIKE to do:
I'll try to keep you posted, if I ever do start. I mean...I'M GOING TO START!
Until next time, here's my first picture of the summer!
Also, random picture of Adam being silly on Skype:

Being that I would like to get back into shape for this summer, I'm going to try to get a daily workout and productivity regimen going. This is in the first few stages, so it's just going to be a giant list (you know me and lists). Here's what I would LIKE to do:
- Get up at 8:30 on days that I have off, or don't work until the evening. Eat a quick breakfast, then head to The Y, or Seven Hills Rec (depending on which I belong to at the time) for about an hour work out. I would like to try to work out every other day (I go some Tues-Thurs evenings with my mom), but considering I have a Kelleys Island trip coming up, I might want to work out more often. Since God knows I probably won't change much of my eating habits, working out is going to be a must. Plus I've got a swimwear shoot coming up! I'd like to look pretty damn good for that.
- In addition to working out, I'd like to lay outside for a little bit each day that it's nice out, to try to get some color!
- Keep my room relatively clean. Who knows when I'll have random visits from people (especially Adam!). Therefore I should finally clean my room and get stuff figured out for a garage sale or something. I don't have that much stuff, but I really would like to get some cash for it.
- Get things done, pertaining to reserving the hotel for the wedding, figuring out how I'm going to get into the CSU program, etc. I know I keep going on and on about this stuff, but it's just on my mind.
- Keep from laying down in my bed during the day. I know summer is really good for watching entire seasons of TV shows (Boy Meets World is what I'm still currently watching), but I would feel a lot better about myself if I kept on my feet, maybe running some errands, or exploring some stores in other parts of Cleveland.
- My final thing I want to try to do to keep motivated is something that I picked up from my mom. She takes 8 flights of stairs up to work every single day. I don't know how she does it, but it's really good cardio. I work on the 6th floor, so hopefully I can get into the habit of doing the same thing.
I'll try to keep you posted, if I ever do start. I mean...I'M GOING TO START!
Until next time, here's my first picture of the summer!

Here's a post!
Sorry if these posts seem pretty bland, working an 8 hour a day job is trying on your social life (#firstworldproblems).
I've actually started my new job! I mean, I'm basically shadowing the current secretaries for now, but I'm on the floor. The first few days I was in an orientation that didn't really pertain to me, but it was chill. I like the job. The people are pretty cool, the patients who walk the floor seem very nice, and the work isn't too difficult. We're supposed to wear a uniform, but I don't have mine yet. I'm a little excited to get measured for it, but I don't want them to order it too big and make me look all matronly. I can't wait to make bunches of money and save for all kinds of things! Now I'll actually have to put things into my savings.
I realized that I've always wanted to work at University Hospitals, and I finally do. My dream has come true!!
Thursday, I went to the Cleveland at Detroit baseball game with Adam. It was tons of fun! I wore my Indians jersey, and he wore his Tigers jersey, which kind of caused a scene with the local folk. Sadly, the Tigers won (my friends blame me for being there), but I still had a lot of fun. We walked around Detroit, went to Pizzapapolis, and had a romantic stroll by the river where we could see Canada! We also rode a ferris wheel with cars shaped like baseballs! It was a lovely date :)
Adam loves "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, so I decided that i wanted to make a music video for him. Andrew helped me out since he has a camera and a green screen. It was hastily made, with no prior thought, but it was a lot of fun to make. Apparently, he loved it.
Here it is!

Tonight, I finally go back to work at Victoria's Secret, to set up for Semi-Annual Sale. I'm excited, because I miss the girls that I work with!
I know I keep saying I'm going to post pictures of my new furniture, but I still haven't gotten to getting rid of some stuff. It needs to happen before Adam visits again, that's for sure. Hopefully some of my next posts will involve Katie, Joe, and I going around to fun Cleveland events and locations!
Adult thought of the day: Really think about what you want to save your money for, and what you want to spend it on. Make a list of things to buy now, and things to save for for later. For example, I'm saving money for my KI trip, and maybe to move out eventually. I might spend some money on a new Vera Bradley bag, or a new phone. I'm going to take hella advantage of my new virtual wallet at PNC Bank.

Sadly, the Tigers won (my friends blame me for being there), but I still had a lot of fun. We walked around Detroit, went to Pizzapapolis, and had a romantic stroll by the river where we could see Canada! We also rode a ferris wheel with cars shaped like baseballs! It was a lovely date :)
Adam loves "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, so I decided that i wanted to make a music video for him. Andrew helped me out since he has a camera and a green screen. It was hastily made, with no prior thought, but it was a lot of fun to make. Apparently, he loved it.
Here it is!

Tonight, I finally go back to work at Victoria's Secret, to set up for Semi-Annual Sale. I'm excited, because I miss the girls that I work with!
I know I keep saying I'm going to post pictures of my new furniture, but I still haven't gotten to getting rid of some stuff. It needs to happen before Adam visits again, that's for sure. Hopefully some of my next posts will involve Katie, Joe, and I going around to fun Cleveland events and locations!
Adult thought of the day: Really think about what you want to save your money for, and what you want to spend it on. Make a list of things to buy now, and things to save for for later. For example, I'm saving money for my KI trip, and maybe to move out eventually. I might spend some money on a new Vera Bradley bag, or a new phone. I'm going to take hella advantage of my new virtual wallet at PNC Bank.
