What a Week!

Well, a lot has changed since last sunday!

when i wrote last week i was in the process of selling my car to the dearership in charlottesville. well, on saturday night i had this feeling that i should put an ad on harrisonburg's craigslist for my car. so i created as add for it, asking 13,000 for it, and within 24 hours two people had emailed asking for more information. i set up a time with one of them for him to drive it and check it out... that was on tuesday evening. on wednesday he asked if he could drive it again and take it by a mechanic to have it checked out... that was on thursday. then on thursday night he made an offer for it! we had to negotiate a little bit, but i ended up selling it to him and was able to make a little bit of money instead of breaking even with the dealership! so... my car is gone. i'm waiting for the check he gave me to clear the bank, then i need to pay off the loan and then we can go to the dmv and switch the title over.

in other news, i had a second interview at downtown 56, which is one of the nicest restaurants in harrisonburg, on saturday morning. i had had an interview a week or two ago which ended up being for a host position (which i didn't want anyway), but then they called me on wednesday and asked if i would want to come in and interview for a serving position instead.. yes please! so i went in and talked to her yesterday and they're going to look at the schedule and see when i can start training! i'm hoping to be able to work mostely evenings there, and only a few lunch shifts. that way i can keep working at mrs hardesty's during the week.

i also had an interview at radio shack today for a part time position. that went well, too, and he's waiting for me to tell him if i want the job. that job would be anywhere from 18-40 hours a week, not very high hourly wage, bu i would make commission. so i'll have to look at which of the three jobs on my plate (hardesty's, downtown 56, and radioshack) are going to be the most effective in putting money in my bank account.

i'm feeling a little less discouraged than i was a week ago. i hope that things will keep going this way! love you all.
