Fall Semester Goals

I've made some goals for myself this semester,

I think they all should be pretty reasonable to keep:

• Get into shape (aka UNLV Gym 3x per week)
• Have at least $6500 in savings by Dec. 15th
• Get straight A's
• Hang out with 2 co-workers outside of work
• Hang out with 2 classmates outside of school
• Draw, frame, and hang 4 drawings
• Learn to cook 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 2 dinners, and 5 desserts
• Blog at least once a week

So far, I'm not doing well on going to the gym.

I haven't gone once.

But I still have enough days this week

to get my goal done :)

I will! get into shape.

(Have you ever put on your "fat jeans" and they fit?

Not a fun thing to do.)

Where I got the amount of $6500

and the date of December 15th

I have no idea.

They both just sort of popped into my head.

I am saving for Eurotrip next summer though,

I'll post more abut that later :)

I failed miserably at my goal of straight A's last semester.

So here we go again...

This time, I will do it!

(I have to have a minimum 2.5

for academic probation

as well as to join a sorority next semester.)

Being new to Vegas,

I don't know people my age.

So, school and work just seem like a good place

to meet some people

and make some friends :)

I hate how little I draw these days,

so I made a goal to do so.

I'm trying very hard

to draw something of quality.

Someday,

I hope to sell something that I draw :)

Learning to cook.

I don't hate cooking,

but I don't really enjoy it either.

However,

I eat out a lot.

A lot, a lot, a lot.

It'd be nice to have a meal or two

that I can show off when people visit :)

I haven't been blogging as often as I'd like.

I have lots of homework this semester.

I have a job.

Thus, a goal for once a week.

The Heart Grows Stronger Through Pain

I've had a really weird sleep pattern recently

it's caused my brain to go crazy!

For example,

last night I couldn't sleep until after 5am

which lead me to listen to music

When you feel all alone

and the world has turned its back on you

give me a moment please

to tame your wild, wild heart.

which inspired me to draw a picture

but of course,

I didn't finish it.

Probably never will :P

Instead,

I started looking at my school stuff.

Classes start on Monday

and I have assignments due

before class.

Holy crap!

Scary!

I'm just taking a break from school work now.

I read Mandy's blog entry "Hey Cupcake"

and as always, it made me smile :)

I won't lie,

I check blog at least once a day

just to see if someone has published something.

The blogs I read aren't "professional"

but I love them.

Just being able to read

about my friends and family's every day life

is amazing.

Which brings me to a random thought I have had,

I have nine followers

I know four of them.

I just don't get it,

I mean,

I understand following an interesting blog

about photography, cooking, hair, makeup, whatevs...

but a blog about a random 20 year old's life?

It just seems so odd to me.

Why?

On a sadder note,

my great grandpa passed away yesterday at 2pm.

He would have been 99 years old in November I believe.

Brother 1986, Dad 1961, Gpa 1936, Gramps 1911

If the math is too hard for you,

that's 25 years apart each :)

♥ Rest in Peace, Gramps ♥

Day #1

Friday was my orientation day at Target.

Today was my first (and only) day of training

on the cashier stations.

I loved it!

I was so embarrassed though -

about an hour into the training,

I got sick.

I spent the next hour of training in the bathroom;

my trainer kept telling me it was okay to go home,

but I don't think I've ever felt so bad in my life.

I haven't been stay-home-from-work sick in over a year,

and so of course,

on my first day...

After I drank some water,

I was fine.

I think I was just dehydrated.

(I drank a lot of water yesterday,

so I think my body was shocked.)

I missed majority of the training,

but the funny part is,

I was the only training-cashier today

to get 100%

on all of my guest sales

:)

I wish I could do cashiering every day,

I absolutly love it!

I kept glancing over at the cafe,

and I think they got

one customer per every ten that I did.

:(

I know I'll be good at my job in the cafe though,

so I'm happy.

My co-workers are so, so nice

I couldn't have gotten a job in a better enviroment :)

(Even though I am one of the oldest workers...)

Congrats Target,

you have my approval

:)
