Well, I'm not quite sure where to go with this...I blog all the time on Myspace, but this has a much more official feeling about it. My name's Amanda. I grew up in a little area in Washington, graduated from Cheney High in 2001 and have since been working my way through college...slowly, unfortunately. I have this overwhelming need to not be in debt because of school...so I'm paying as I go. And I can't say I had very many goals when I graduated from high school, so considering I'm still developing those, I don't have a certain career path planned out...just a sea of endless possibilities. I'm going to have my Associates Degree from the Falls in the fall of 08, then I think I'll hold off on further schooling for another year, just to see where my head's at and to save up some money. I've been toying with the idea of Computer Graphics and Design. Being told that the Falls has one of the most elite programs and after learning more about the course, it sounds like a really interesting endeavor.
Right now, I'm working as a cocktail waitress at NQ Casino. It's not a career for me, in fact it's a nightmarish thought just considering it to be. However, I will give it the proper accolades, I was a very shy person before becoming a waitress. After five years of waiting tables at the local Denny's, I've become a pro at interrupting people (ha) and making polite chit-chat...and best of all, my bantering skills are off the chain (or whatever the popular terminology is for the moment). Like I said, it's no career...but it's been a good stepping stone for me as a person. And for the time being, it pays bills and it's helping me through school...so for that I'm grateful.
I bought a house in October '07, and it's been quite the adventure for me. For anyone who knows me, I've had quite the turbulent time moving from apartment to apartment and jumping from roommate to roommate, so to have a place to call my own is so serene. Although I did all of the purchasing and paperwork of this house on my own, I share the home with my boyfriend Drew. He's actually turned out to be the most tidy roommate thus far, which I find rather shocking considering my previous roommates were girls...or pretend girls...with the exception of my brother, who was also very clean in an obsessive compulsive kind of manner. Well, that's all I care to share at the moment...
