Spring Quarter Grades

So grades came out and guess what? no not chicken butt, but I got all B's!!! Never in my college life have I gotten all B's. I know you're all prolly thinking...woopdedoo...anyone can get all B's, which is prolly true. A lot of people do get good grades, but I'm always the one getting C's each quarter and this is the first time I've gotten all B's. I can't believe I got a B in CRD 2 bc I've only been to that class once the whole way through and that was on the first day and we ended a whole two hrs early (the class is once a wk for three hrs long). So I was amazed at my grade in that class. I guess it was a fairly easy class. Anywho, so yea I thought things were doing better in my life until...

Internship

so yay i got an internship...BUT somehow there was miscommunications amongst the hotel people that I was interested in interning within the Human Resources Dept and unpaid. WHICH IS SO NOT TRUE! So my first project was to figure out whether the company is liable for the employees if they are injured during a company sponsered event in which participation is all voluntary. My first thought was ...this is dumb...this is so not what i want to do, but if this guy thinks that his is important and will help me learn more about hotel management, then heck, i'll do it. So this afternoon I was late coming in bc I did not realize how trafficy it would be. John Allen, my HR director sat me at hte comp and gave me a couple of books and i got started on my research project, which took me like half an hr to find the answer. It was in the freakin book... i dont' know why I would have to use a computer when he had the answer right in the book. Anyways, so after talking to him some more, he went over how it seems like I am more enthusaistic about working with people and front desk work and hotel operations and room operations, which i am. He realized that HR is not what i wanted to do and wondered why they sent me to HR. I have no idea. So he called up the room operations director and since she runs those operations, he set up an interview time for me to interview as an intern for her right away. So after his phone call, i was sent ot her office to have an interview. Way to be prepared...geez...boy did my interview suck...I didn't even have to interview w/ John and they just handed me the position bc this guy knew people and hooked me up. Now i' mscared that 1) she won't hire me and 2) that i mite lose my internship 3) if I ask John to take me back, he mite not. Lemme tell u...i suck at interview, which is why I never get jobs. I know it takes practice but I soooooooooo suck at them. So far, all my jobs I've had have been handed to me through networking...my mom knew someone...or I was an alumni, or i met someone and they knew someone... the only real job I got on my own was working at hte DC but they hire anyone there...they even hired mentally disabled people...point proven. I guess I did get the tutoring job tutoring Mario on my own. But that wasn't a real job...but it did pay well..no tax! hehe. All i did was post my name on the tutor board at Wilson hs senior year and the mom called me and i got the job and boy did that kid contribute a lot to my income! He needed a lota help with his studies and schoolwork. But no longer do i have that source of income. No longer do i have any income for that matter...I'm hoping the lady will hire me to intern for her and overtime, I can request for a paid internship if all goes well. What a day...O yea and so I bought new work shoes bc we're not allowed open toed shoes. They're Steve Maddens, which if you know anything about SMs, they are expensive! So anyways, they were having a sale and usually on sale a shoe costs at least 40 but I got these shoes for 20! What a deal..that's like buying the expensive shoe at Payless for all you Payless shoppers. Anywyas, so yest I wore them to my first day at the hotel and boy, did I chose teh wrong day to break in my new SMs. I was suposed to just go in to talk to him and fill out paperwork but I ended up gettin a tour of the whole hotel premises, which mite i add is HUGE! This hotel is not like those indoor ones that are stacked up high ... this is like motel style where its all one story with a bunch of buildings but nicer than a motel. So you ahve to go outside to the diff rooms. So yest I came home w/ a bunch of blisters and this mornig I was hoping most of them would pop but no i had one left which was HUGE...its like the size of my toe nail on my lil toe of my foot. Its all big and bubbly. gross huh? and it goes really high up the diameter is huge like a ball on top of my toe. so that led to me wearing my old closetoed shoes to work today which didnt hurt the bubble on my toe but still irritated my achilles area. and that led to...

GYM

so ever since I got back to Davis, which was last Monday the 21st, Tom tom's bday, I 've been working out everyday. That's 9 days in a row! I'm on a roll i tell u. However, today was a semi bad workout day. I went into my apt's gym and someoone was on our 1 treadmill. So i used the elliptical, not a big deal...my achilles were a lil sore rubbng against my New Balance's. But then after the girl left (nice white girl btw, sometimes a lil mean short asian girl comes in, no not me...and is SO RUDE...i'll explain gym rudeness later) anways so i finished up on the elliptical and began using the treadmill which I did for like 10 seconds and realized...MAN this is killing my bubble on my toe. So i stopped and continued with my routine workout and fnishsed up. So since i havent been exercising on a routine basis until this past wk, Ive been very and i mean very weak. But i've been building up my muscles. So Last monday I started running for 5 min on the 4.5 speed with a pre and post walk of a total of 4 min on the 3.0 speed. Now i'm up to 10 min on the 4.5 speed with a pre and post walk of 4 min on the 3.0 speed. I used to do 10 pushups and now i can do 25. (when i was lil i could do like 50..i suck now) I pulled those weight thingys and I used to do 40lbs and now i'm up to 70lbs. I still do 100 crunches and dont' intend on doing more bc i have the ab muscles but they're hidden behind my stomach fat which will hopefully trim down after more running and doing more crunches wont' necessarily slim down my stomach. It'll jus make me more muscular which I dont' really want. Anyways, gym rudeness, so I've never seen her but i'm thinking its the same girl as mine, but this girl comes in and is always rude to my roomates. So my roomates are big fans of the treadmill and we only have one owrking in my apt comlex so sometiems they are using it and this girl comes in and asks them how much longer they will be and then just sits in the gym staring at them waiting for them to finish. Now, there is so much more equipment she can use and she jus sits there and stares at them basically giving them looks saying...ok i'l lwatch u till ur done. AND THEN one time, nickel was runnign a lil past 30 min and the time limit is 30 min if someone is waiting and the same girl comes in and looks at nickel's time and was like "U know the time limit is 30 min" (said in a haughty voice) and nickel doesn't take crap from people well and nickel just gave her a dirty look and said "i know..." and kept on running lol. So the girl went into the office and told on her like a lil kid and so the manager came and asked nickel to get off the treadmill. Now Nickel wouldve gladly gotten off in the girl asked her to in a nice way rather than just stating an obvious fact in a rude manner. SHe couldve just said "May I please use the treadmill when you're done since the time limit is 30min" sometthing nice like that . But NO the girl had to go and be rude about it and then tell on her. So the other day I was working out and the lil azn girl comes in and luckily I was done w/ the treadmill and no one else was in there but me andi was watching Look Who's Talking Now on tv. Usually when you go in the gym and no one's in there, you have to turn on the fan, lights and tv yourself and you turn it off when ur done if no one else is in there. So the girl comes in and starts running on the treadmill and she kinda looked snotty but I didnt wanna judge her right away cuz I dont' even know her. And she takes off her shirt with her sports bra on underneath as if she were showing off to me her body. She doesnt' smile or antyhing at me like many do. Then she finishes up on the treadmill as i was on the floor stretching watching the movie and picks up the remote where I accidetly left it and asks " can i change the channel?" Now that pissed me off so much...now obviously if no one else is in the room and i was there first, that meant that I was the one who turned on the tv and turned it to a station I wanted to watch, so why would i let you change the channel? And then! so being the nice person I am, i so .. yea go ahead...and the nshe changes it to tnt where the show has less than 10min...where you have no idea what is going on in the show bc its practically over. I dont' get his girl..she is so self centered...Then she wasnt' even watching the freakin show! When she asked me if she could change the channel, I was staring at the stupid screen so obviously imply ing that i was watching. grr anways...so i hope I never workout w/ her again...she irritates me...
