so, this is a blog.



so, this is a blog? cool. i dont know what possesed me to create a blog, but here i am. sitting at work blogging. i must be cool.
but im am here to tell you (in the words of ani difranco) "my life may not be somethin' special, but its never been lived before."

my life is kinda up in the air right now. i moved to logan utah about 3 months ago. i was going to school at bridgerland applied tech college doing the culinary arts program, but its a new program to the school, and in short, it kinda sucked ass. so i took a "leave of absence" so if i wanted to go back in the next 6 months i could. though i highly doubt i will. after moving up to logan i thought i should get a job. so i started looking. and i looked, and looked and looked, 4 weeks later i get a call from a little sushi restaurant called happy sushi. i had a job!! i was so excited. they told me i would be making 2.25 an hour + tips. they told me it would even out to about 15+ an hour. boy did they lie!!!! my first night, i made 13 bucks in tips!! that s it!! well it did get a little better durring the weekends and i would make about 60-70 in tips, but still. i couldnt quite live on that. so about 2 weeks after starting that i job i meet this kid named neal. now neal longboards, and convieniently so do i. we thought it would be an awsome idea to bomb 4th north. now for those of you who dont live in logan, 4th north is a main road and its not steep but its LONG. everything stared out fine and we got pretty far, but then my board started to wobble from the speed. and needless to say i ate it, i ate it hard!!!!! sprained my left wrist, hit my head, ripped up my right elbow and ended up in the er for a couple of hours. it was pretty neat. my head was all swollen and where i hit my head, i lost some hair. i have a killer scar with hair now growing out of it.

well the next morning i got a call from a bank in logan. they had had a teller quit and needed a new one by that friday (it was monday morning) so i agreed to an interview. well now picture this. my head is swollen to about the size of a small grapefruit, i was up till 4;30 in the er and im cut and bruised, all i can say is it looked like i had an abusive boyfriend. so i go in and i pretty much rocked their socks off. they told me they would call me back when they had decided. i felt pretty good about it and had no desire what so ever to go into happy sushi. so i didnt. i tried to call, really i did. but they never answered. and that is how i stopped working at happy sushi. now i didnt hear from said bank for a couple of days, and in my mind im going"crud, im jobless now" but then i got the call, the best call i had had in days. "celeste?" "yes." " hi this is sandy with ______ bank, and we would like to offer you the job" thank the lord!! i was employed!!!
