Hello all my lovely people! It has been FOREVER since I've made any posts. The past few months have been full of change! Firstly, I got a job. I'm now in school...and...well...let's talk more about all that first.
August 21st I was hired as a cashier at my local Kroger. Being my very first job and everything, I went all out on my interview. Beforehand, I went to the library and borrowed loads of books on how I should be in an interview. I knew NOTHING about interviews, given with my previous work experience (which was none.) Learned how to dress, how I should act to appear confident and to hide any nerves.
Well, I had applied to Kroger sometime in July after I had my driver's license (finally). BUT I wasn't hired right off the bat. As much as I wanted to try to get a super good high pay job, I was actually devastated thinking what am I gonna do if I can't even get hired at this place?
I ended up applying to various other places hoping I could get hired. In the end they all failed and I never got called back. I dressed well, had a good firm handshake. What was I missing? Well, for one I know those companies missed out on a very great addition! But with my good luck, Kroger called me a month later when all the school kids went back to school and I was hired. I was so happy! With all the time I had spent and failed at getting any jobs, the first place I applied ended up hiring me. Which I am very thankful for.
I decided not to start school in the Fall because I was making and saving money before I started. Working and having a job has definitely been a great experience. Plus, I've learned how to fill gas up in the car much better now (; lol.
So, before starting college, I had to get all these important papers to the college so that I could register and get started. That took forever. I ended up doing my placement tests in December, although I did not need to do my English placement test because my English score on my SAT was high enough (yay).
After that, I attended orientation four days before the school year started. They told us we couldn't register for classes til we went to orientation(which was probably a lie). BUT I managed to do it. After that I realized I had 18 credits and it was too much, so I dropped two classes, but then I needed at least one more credit so I stopped in to see my advisor, That was a nice trip, and with our luck I got into the first class we tried! Thank goodness for open seats.
Then, of course, you have all these textbooks that you've gotta buy which are EXPENSIVE. Taking all my money. :( College. *sigh* Hopefully I'll be able to get some scholarships next semester.
So anyway, all my classes are pretty good. And that's where I'm at for now. Working, studying, eating, sleeping and all that good stuff.
Is there anything you guys want me to talk about in future posts? I don't have many topics in mind at the moment so some ideas would be great. :) Get my brain rollin' guys! And I should also have time to write my posts when I have nothing left to do (like right now.).
Enjoy your day. :)
