Work, School, and the Gym

There may be a work promotion in my future. At first I wasn't going to even apply but then Cassie, one of our account managers asked me if I was because she thought I'd be good at it. I told her that I was not planning on it since I want to go back to school. She got me thinking about it though and I wondered if it might be possible to do both. So I ask Ashley, who had this position before and she thought I'd be great and that I could do it with work and school. Then another account manager Susie bribed me with Chocolate to apply. The topper on the cake was when the big bosses Katie and Natalie personally asked me if I would consider applying!! Sounds like I'm a shoe-in!! Everyone wants me to take this position! So I had an interview this morning that I think went really well. I had just started seriously applying for library positions, but that might have to wait now. - Okay so it's literally only been half an hour since I had my interview and started this post and already I have been offered the job!!! I'm soooo excited!!!! You are looking at (or reading from) the new new Call Center Coordinator. Heck yeah!! Thankfully I only had to deal with butterflies in my stomach for half and hour and now I can go eat lunch in peace.

I also applied for my master's program last week and sent the transcripts and now I'm just waiting to hear if I'm accepted!! I don't see why they wouldn't accept me unless they ran out of openings. The likelihood of that doesn't seem very high though. I'll start it out part-time until I get a better idea of how to handle a full-time job and school again. It'll be worth it though. I'm really glad that this job will help me to pay for my education. I'm also really excited for the benefits since I won't have my parent's health insurance after January and now I won't have to worry. Now I want to go computer shopping for school!!

Another accomplishment I've made is having run 2 miles straight without stopping twice now. I feel like superwoman. :) I can also tell I'm gaining some muscle and losing fat even if the scale is the same number. If I could diet better, I'm sure I'd be shrinking. But I have reached one goal I set for myself; to be a fit, fat person. Okay, fat is a little excessive, but basically I'm okay with my shape I just wanted to be more fit. Which I am! So now I'm stepping it up a bit and we'll see if I can't curb some of my bad diet habits and try to increase my intensity at the gym. Wish me luck!

I've also started up playing my violin again with the West Valley Symphony. I'm so rusty after taking a year off! This is great practice for me though and I haven't spent too long not playing that my fingers don't remember what to do. So I'm grateful for opportunities to get me to play.

Rushing!

Sorority Life . Not what I thought, at least for Lamba Delta Sigma . To begin with, I didn't know what a sorority was until the day I joined. I thought it was full of prissy girls who go shopping, gossip, and wear pink all the time (kind of a Legally Blonde persona, see picture). But my friend Nadia didn't want to join alone so she dragged me along and convinced me to do it too. By the time I left the first day, I could see my presumptions were wrong. It wasn't full of silly blondes in pink skirts and high heels at all, instead they were all young women like me. This was great news because now I can tell blonde jokes without having to explain them fifty times! Since I'm not taking classes this fall I decided I needed a change in things to make sure I keep active, especially after not doing too much this summer when it came to friends. Not that it was that bad being a homebody. Watching my sisters turn their pretty faces into gruesome troll expressions is quite ...

Believe that the Earth turns Slowly

[Photo taken by me at Aphosian Gardens 2008] Life is moving really fast for me now. I can't believe how many things will happen within the next two weeks, most of which I'm not entirely prepared for. First of all, my  birthday in a couple days. I'm young yet, early twenties but am I the only one who finds it weird when they become a year older? I don't feel much different than I did last year, and with everything going on it doesn't feel like my birthday. Normally I start counting down at the beginning of December because I just add 2 weeks onto the countdown to Christmas. This year, at the beginning of the week I had to count to make sure my birthday was actually this weekend. I'm just too preoccupied to think about it much. I also have school starting next Monday, and I'm going part time, but I'm working part time at crazy hours running back and forth from school and work, and my best friend gets married right after it starts. At least her wedding isn...

Bibliophile - Book Lover - That's me!

I absolutely love to read. My whole family is a bunch of readers and every one of us has our own collection of books. (Mine covers my ledge stretching along my 9 foot wall... and I ran out of room for them.) When I was younger (maybe 10) I found out my Grandma Walker kept track of every book she read in a journal and wrote it down, so I began my own book journal. So since 1997-ish I've written down each book's title, author, summary, date finished, how much I like it, and number of pages. I like to keep track of how many pages I've read in a year and the most I've ever gotten was just over 11,000 pages. This year I'm up to about 7,000 which is normal for me at this point. Seeing how I'm obsessed with books I thought I'd mention some of my favorites and favorite authors if you're ever looking for something to read since I have a few people who ask me for reading suggestions as it is. My new found favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't he...
