A New Blog!

Hey everyone! I have a new blog. It's one of my stories. Go to this link ( http://mjohansen.blogspot.com/ ) to check it out.

My summer in a nutshell.

It's been so long since I've written on my blog and so much has happened. I hope I can keep it all straight.

1. Spring semester. Failed two of the three classes that I was taking. Will have to take them over.
2. Summer break began and with it a new semester of school. This time only one class. Passed with a B!
3. Turned the basement into an apartment! It feels like I have my own place even if my parents are still living upstairs. I have two room mates; Emma and Laura.
4. I was informed that I had been unemployed for 3 months without knowing it. More on this latter.
5. My Birthday. I am now 26 years old. Try to go to the cabin and getting locked out because we forgot the key.
6. My brother Andy lost his job in Denver, Colorado and has moved back home.

Yeah so that's the condensed version. Now to tell about me being out of a job.

I leave Northwest Middle School knowing that my coming back is not very likely but still I hoped. Even if I did come back it would be for less hours. I go the whole summer without doing much about it and focus on my schooling and homework. This was dumb of me, I know. I finally get a call at the end of the summer, just as I go to take my math final, telling me that "no, you will not be expected back this school year." It took them three months! 3 months to tell me that I was laid off!! I don't think I would be so upset if they had told me it was for sure at the beginning of the summer. It would make it a whole lot easier to find a job at another school. Now almost all the positions are filled.

Oh well. I guess that is how life goes. I now have to work really hard to get a job.
