Two Year Anniversary! And job offers left and right!

Posted on Posted in Blog, StyleTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

It’s been two years since I started this blog and I am so happy to have reached another milestone. I’m going to keep it short but it’s something worth blogging about. I know it’s going to take time but I’m going to keep trying with this blog. Not going to give up just yet.

Peter took fours days off and it was great to have been able to spend time with him and Jackson. Peter works 80+ hour weeks (I know many of you out there can probably top that but it’s still a lot more than 10 hours a week) so we were able to go to a birthday party, shop at IKEA, and enjoy our material goods of this world. School has been well. I am considering  taking the summer off although it may set me back a semester. I’m working on my Oglethorpe University application and I hope that goes well.

I had to record another monologue today for my theatre class and I love monologues. I do because I am really good at them and good at writing them. I still have some assignments for art, film, and political science, but it sounds like an easygoing weekend for me … that is if I am not working.

Speaking of working, I’ve been trying to get a part-time job …. part-time because that’s what most places are willing to offer nowadays. LOFT has since then fallen from the list. At least they were nice enough to send me a postcard. I’m kidding … no, it wasn’t nice. I applied for a temporary job that involved selling authentic African baskets at a Costco fair/convention thing. It would only be two weeks but $14/week isn’t bad either. Baby GAP has called pertaining to a second interview. I missed the call today but I’ve got to figure out what I want honestly. I just got a call from GAP for a first interview. I’m kind of torn. I can go into retail through GAP or I can go into concierge and the hospitality industry easily with a job at guest services. She said she had me on the schedule so I’m guessing I’ve got the job. Something about Friday, not sure if I work on Friday or if she will call me, if anything, I’ll just call her Friday morning. Man, the things I had to do for the guest services position. From countless emails, to voicemails, to SAT-like assessment tests, and background checks, I sure hope they treat me well.

I am afraid of working at Guest Services because I think people will rip me a new one if I can’t efficiently send them to the restroom. And there is gift card fraud too … I’m a pleasant person who gives good face, I should be fine. I guess I should start studying the map and store directory as well before Friday arrives.

I hope you all have been doing well and have fun with your spring cleaning. I know I did! And when it comes to spring cleaning, you have to buy a lot of stuff to replace all the old crap you just threw away. That’s it for today; I’ve got to go finish the IKEA leftovers from yesterday. I love broccoli medallions and I finally got them in the frozen pack. Here is a photo of the salmon spread and the crispy rolls I got from IKEA. Super tasty!Image

School, Gym, and Dance Central 3

Posted on Posted in Blog, TechnologyTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I know there hasn’t been much activity on this blog from my end. School started three weeks ago and I’ve been doing my best to stay on top. Despite my continuing success in school, I did momentarily doubt myself. I’m feeling a lot better about my career choices and I aspire to be highly successful. I began writing a short story last night. I’ve got a few pages down and maybe it’ll get somewhere if I stay diligent. It’s a coming of age story and I guess it’ll probably appeal to younger adults or even teens. I just wanted to write that’s all. I know my writing is damn good but people will never know if I don’t write. I used to write often, but I’ve stopped doing many things these days such as baking, hosting, painting, etc.

I’m taking six classes at the moment with one half-term class and five full-terms. I just got through my midterm on the half-term class and I look forward to getting all A’s this semester. I don’t feel late anymore because there are plenty of people who started school at the same time I did, and they’ll graduate this year. I can’t say that their grades look that good though.

I have so many projects in my head, If I could, I’d hire someone to type for me. Typing is so tedious especially when you’re the type of person who has to change every error as you go.

Peter and I signed up for our gym memberships at Planet Fitness. I used to workout there about three years ago and I am glad that I am back. I didn’t have a great experience with the other location due to cancellation issues but I really do like this one. It’s busy though around the time that we’re able to go. We started last Saturday, missed Monday so we went on Tuesday, missed Wednesday because of the tornado watch, and we’re going tonight. I usually hate it when my schedule gets thrown off because I have Dance Central days on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for another class. Also, there was a classmate in one of my classes who said Planet Fitness is a waste of money and that it smells funny. That place is full of sweaty people working out, what was it supposed to smell like? Plus, if $10-20 is too much, then you probably couldn’t afford the gym anyway considering the cost of other gyms. I absolutely hate working out at home or outside so I resort to the gym (unless it Dance Central).

I’ve been relaxing and kind of bored this week since I finished all of my assignments on the day the new week began. I just have to make sure I keep writing the short story.

Here is a cluster of this week’s photos:

This one is a little older than a week, but oh well. I had to make a mask for theatre mask. This is what I cam up with in an hour.
This is Boots, one of my two cats. I had just installed a new light fixture in my office so I decided to take photos of him.
These were the last ones left at Target. I love Post-it’s and I love pugs.
I was putting the dishes away when I saw an xbox controller lodged in the dishwasher rack. Good thing Jackson put it in when I was putting dishes away and not before!
I love these sandwiches at Squisito. Super toasted with Americano cheese.

I’ll try my best to post as much as I workout every week! :)
