A Happy Update - I know, so rare!!

Hallo there, pretty people!!

So I thought I'd do a quick update. It's been like three weeks since I turned old, so I guess it's time for an entry.

First off, work. So I've just been hired as a freelance reporter for the Mississauga News. Now, this isn't a full-time, monday to friday job. It's more of an on-call thing, where if one of their employees can't cover something, or they have people on vacation, then they call me. The upside to this is that this is a paid journalism job. As in, I will get assignments, I'll write them up, and they'll be printed. And they can all go into my portfolio, and hopefully that means I'll be able to get a full-time writing job soon. So this is super great. I am now officially a journalist. High school goal: complete!! :D

On to something else awesome: the first weekend in April I'm going up to Ottawa with a bunch of people to attend my first ever NHL game!!! I'm not a hockey fan, but I am super excited!! It's Ottawa vs. Toronto. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm glad Nick invited Jess and I. Maybe it'll turn me into a hockey fan?? I can always try :)

My fan fiction stories are now up. Two are one-shots (so basically a short, one chapter story), and one is multi-chapter. So far only one chapter is up, but I'm working on it. I've already had a few people put it on alert, which makes me incredibly happy. I've also worked on my other fiction story, In The Midst Of Lies, but I haven't posted the new chapters yet. Maybe tonight I will. Or tomorrow. Soon, I promise!!

My allergies are getting better. I'm on week three of the weekly shots, and it's gotten bearable now. I no longer want to rip my skin off all the time. Just sometimes. Which is way better than before, though, so I'm glad. It'll be great to not be covered in scabs and scars from freaking hives and allergies. It's just stupid.

My back started to go out again, but I refused to sit at home and cry about it this time, so it actually only lasted a few days. And most of those days were okay: I was walking around, sitting, standing, driving...even wearing heels and dancing!! Sunday was bad (it started saturday night), but after that it was okay. I think I'm actually going to look into it, though, and see what can be done about it. I can't live the rest of my life afraid of lifting something heavy, or turning the wrong way too fast, or bending funny.

So yeah, that's my update. I think it's a happy update, overall, which is kinda awesome. I like it when things go well, even if it's small things. Maybe the upward trend will continue?? I think it's about time I see some good and not shittiness. Anyways, I'll try to update ITMOL later. And you guys can all check out my fanfic stories here if you guys want.

Bye bye for now!!
