And I do want you to know I think you'd be good to me and I'd be so good to you... ♥

It's been a while since I last posted! IDK, I always have moments where I'm like, "Oh, I will post about this or that!" and then when I actually get back to the computer, I totally forget about it -- you know how it is. XP But seriously, I've been living a pretty laid back and boring life since I'm done with school and am just looking for a job. (Job searching sucks, yo.) Anyway, let's do this in bullets! More things will probably come to me that way. XD

• JOB HUNTING!
  So this is probably more difficult than expected probably because there simply aren't that many jobs for me here in SD and when I do find something relivant, they want experience. I mean, I probably would have more options if I branched out, but I just don't have the money to move/live somewhere else right now. Also, there's the fact that I actually DO want to stay in SD, so yeah. -_- I will just continue looking and hopefully findsomething; at this point, I don't really care if I get a job in an architecture firm, I just want a job somewhere within the construction industry. (And really, I wouldn't mind an administrative assistant job in a construction firm because I am bomb at admin-type stuff and they make more money than I would probably get an entry/junior architect job, lol.)



• ACCREDITATIONS/CERTIFICATIONS!
  aznearthdragon and I are going to a LEED Green Associate study group thing. First meeting was Tuesday evening, next one is tonight, and then the last two meetings are next week. So yeah, I basically decided yesterday that I was going to take the LEED GA test because I have nothing else to do and it'll probably help me find a job. I'm thinking that August would be a good time to take it -- one month to study, lol. It would be tempting to put it off for more study time, but really, I don't know how to study like that. If I took longer than a month on studying, I feel like I'll probably just forget stuff from the beginning and it'd be an endless cycle. Hopefully I pass on the first try b/c I don't want to pay to take it a second time!
  
  In the same vein, I also decided that I'm just gonna suck it up and take the CDT at the end of September! I've seriously been putting that one off for too long, I should have done it last year, but I didn't end up studying. x_x Anyway, I was looking it up and apparently this upcoming test will be switching to the new material and I am kind of annoyed because I already bought the PRM before and I don't really want to buy the new book that this test will be based off of. I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it to buy the new book ($75) or just study off of what I have and hope that it's good enough to pass. Whatever, I suppose I will just study off what I have for now until I get to the point when I'm too freaked out about possible outdated material -- if I don't get to that point, then I won't buy the book, LOL. XP



• LULU!
  So Lulu.com is having a First Book Free sale going on until the end of July, which I only found out about yesterday (sadness, I had half a month I could have been dedicating to this!), so now I'm actually motivated to make my thesis book which our class didn't have to make! Seriously, I'm kind of bummed that I didn't actually make a book (not that I want to turn in a book, but you know, it would have been nice to have been forced to do it so I would have something), but now that I can get it for free, I have motivation again to actually do it! Hopefully I'll be able to get it all done and have it look good. Also, I need to fix up my portfolio a bit, then I'll probably publish that too just so I can get a free copy of it. XP



• FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS!
  Moving on from boring life stuff, last week aznearthdragon and I went to a screening of Friends With Benefits and it is super hilarious. This seems to be the year for friends with benefits kind of thing since No Strings Attached came out earlier in the year too, but I haven't seen that. Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis seems to be a better couple (to me) than Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman anyway. XP (But how confusing is it that the other movie was called No Strings Attached and JT wasn't in it?!) Anyway, I'll just say that the trailer (linked above) is pretty much a collection of almost all of the amazingly hilarious (and embarrassing) scenes from the movie. (Sadly, the scene with the mom on the guy was left out which is sad because how awesome (and embarrassing) would that moment have been?!)
  
  So, you know, if you are inclined to watch ridiculous rom-coms, you should definitely check it out when it comes out later in July. (Or you can try and get into a screening of it because getting to watch movies for free before they come out is obviously the best way to watch movies, right? XP)
  
  And for the people who have already seen it... ( I have a question! )



• GOOGLE+!
  So the other day, Google+ was unveiled! It looks pretty cool -- I really want an invite to try it out, lol. The thing that sounds the most cool to me is the Hangouts thing because that just sounds like an awesome idea and way better than regular video chat in that I am actually likely to use it, as opposed to regular video chat, which I can honestly say I've only used twice in my life (first was to test out my webcam when I got this laptop, since my old one didn't have a webcam, and second so one of my friends could test out the Google video chat since he never tried it before). So yeah, if any of you guys have one, please send an invite my way and I'd be eternally grateful! ♥♥



• COACH PURSE!
  Tuesday before going to the LEED GA meeting, aznearthdragon and I went to meet one of my cousins so she could give us our graduation gifts.
  
  aznearthdragon's is the same, but in brown/beige.
  It's nice, but I don't really know when I would use it because I'm not really into designer stuff and I buy, like, cheap purses, LOL. Like, the green one that I've been using (that I posted before in the bag meme way back when) was $5.70 on clearance at Kohl's! But whatever, new purse! =)

So that's pretty much it for now...

And I do want you to know I think you'd be good to me and I'd be so good to you... ♥
