RANDOM SWAP - *COMPLETED*

[Yurusumaji]

I like handmade stuff. Sadly, I'm not very crafty. I wish I could add that personal touch to my boxes, but my partner will have to settle for being spoiled.

For my partener, I am doing something different for their wrappies. it's going to be nice furoshiki-style wrapping (here's a link that shows you some ways to do them: http://www.nanoda.com/furoshiki-1000-ways-to-carry-your-bento/ ) These also come in handy for bento boxes and other things too.

That's super cute Cotton! Reminds me of how I used to carry my lunch money when I was a kid. Grandma would put it in a bandana or kerchief and tie it on my wrist.

[shockponie]

One of my partner's items from ebay got here & it has a price tag sticker that's all mangled up & grungy on the bottom. It should clean up nice though.

Nice! I am going back to school this year. I'm stoked!

Honestly, I am not built for "jobs". I need to hurry up and get into my career. The redundancy of jobs gets me so bored so fast I tend to lose my focus and my performance dies off. Only jobs I'm good at are cashier jobs and fast food. That thrill of the unexpected is what made me so good at those jobs. I was working a warehouse job over the holiday, but a lot of factors started working against me pretty quickly. So they had to drop me, which sucks, but I'm dealing with it. Honestly, I don't think I'll get another, as I'm going to start getting my foot in the door for my career. I'm going to be studying Zoology so long as everything goes to plan, so I'll likely start volunteering full-time at the zoo or aquarium and hopefully I'll get an internship once I enter into the Zoology program.

Neat! . If I didn't choose to go to nursing school, I definitely would've went for something animal-related. My SO is going to vet school, so at least I get to hear all the stories and such . Plus I just keep a hoard of animals in my house...that helps too haha.

I know what you mean about the career thing. I hate working where I am not interested in what I'm doing. Ultimately, I want to get my DNP (doctor of nursing practice) and be a nurse practitioner...but that's far down the road.

Well it may not happen tomorrow, but I am sure you will realize your goals.

We have a hoard of animals, too! Ha ha! I have a lot of respect for anyone who can be a vet. I could never handle it emotionally.

Haha xD. Yeah that was kind of my decision maker for nursing vs vet school... somehow I am not as emotional about people. Don't get me wrong..I still care and obviously still want to help, but something about animals being so vulnerable to people makes me get really emotional seeing them hurt or mistreated. I am a sucker for all those animal organizations and always donate when I see them.

Wow this sounds alot like me.  I got my first degree in Equine Science at first wanting to go to vet school or horse breeding but realized I didn't want to commit to vet school and there is no money in breeding with a hard lifestyle to have a family.  I have a hoard of animals as well though.  I switched career paths and am a semester away from nursing school.  I apply this summer.  I hope to either become a nurse practitioner or a certified nurse midwife.  I still want to use my equine/business background down the road and maybe do some hobby breeding/boarding if I ever manage to pay off school loans and my husband and I get some horse property.

Wow! Apparently we are all the same person xD haha or similar anyway. Nursing school is crazy.... You sure you wanna do the actual program? Lol just kidding. I am finishing up my junior year (or first year in the upper division) and its rough lol. But rewarding.

I also want to either be a nurse practitioner or a midwife! When I read that I was like omg!! She is me xD haha. I've always been interested in L&D.

Dang this thread is crazy! I feel bad for no answering any questions but I simply cannot keep up.

Just bought one more thing for my partner. I've officially now went over the $40 mark but I wanna get her one or two more items. Then it's extras and candy.

[Marigold]

Okay I just piled up my two partner's items into boxes.  It actually doesn't look like a whole lot because most of their items are teeny tiny even though I am over budget!  Hmmm.  Such small little things.

Mine is similar to this. Lol. Small things cost a lot of money I guess xD

I'm making ginger-spice carrot muffins this morning to nom on which brings me to a question:

Would you like me to include cooking recipes in your swap box as extras?

[Yurusumaji]

I thought it was "Good things come to those who wait."
