Can't wait to sleep!

Today is my second day working for at the Federal Way Costco, I'm at the point where I'm really tired from a 40-50 minute drive and just not being able to sleep at a descent time. I've been overloaded with information yesterday, and today I just want to relax and stare at a tv. I shouldn't but I also don't want to be a trainee who takes a sale from the person training me. I have my own odd morals and the people here look at me funny because I'm not cut throat. Besides I'm still unsure of what to do to finalize the sale. As far as I understood its easy on the computer then there are papers also involved. I want my trainer to make another sale today to show me. Yesterday I really regretted leaving the Shell but I'm going to try and get this to work. If not then I'm screwed.

This month has been really rough financially. We signed up to skip a payment at the bank but I guess something went wrong and we had to pay $35 twice. We won't make enough for rent so I'll have to take some of my financial aid money to complete that. Then we also got our Internet shut off, so we'll be canceling it and go without until we can afford it. I'll have to stay after classes to do anything if its online.

Life is poopy right now!

Merry Christmas!

So for Christmas Eve, I didn't get to spent much time with my family but I did go to a wedding. My Uncle Mike, my dad's brother, married his partner and the were very happy. I was excited because I'm just so proud to witness a huge stepping stone in the family. We didn't get back home till late but I really enjoyed spending time in Vancouver and Portland.

I wasn't able to sleep very well last night but I got enough to get up at a proper time. Santa visited and I was supposed to be asleep for my Christmas morning surprise. He got me a red Keurig, he wanted to wake me up with a hot chocolate. But it would have woken me up anyway, light sleeper. I also got Fifty Shades of Grey and Catching Fire, I got a few other things but those were the main gifts of the morning between me and my BF. After that we kind of had to do a run around between the 2 families. Mine usually does Christmas Eve at midnight, the BF's is all day Christmas Day. But due to the wedding things had to be shifted around. It's been very eventful and I got extremely tired. Highlights of my day were seeing BF's über excitement from my gift to him, and baby-cakes with her coat that we bought her.

All in all, great Christmas!

**will add pictures when Instagram works again!!

Long days

It's my second day of work after about a week of laying in bed. Feeling my back more now. I am liking the fact that I get to watch tv but I need to know how to sell badly. I get so lost and my brain doesn't want to retain knowledge that isn't important. I'll have to do some training in Federal Way but its rough. I have no gas and I don't know where I'm going. If anything my boss is awesome because he is feeding me. I feel bad though so I'll pay him back with interest.

Back home

Well, the weekend went by quickly. Feel a bit bad for not doing much but in the long run I feel better health wise. We are still making our way back home and traffic is rough. I'm excited to be in my own bed because the fold out sucked. Got a few things from Lush that I am happy about. Wasn't please to have a dog with us because he smells awful. Did get a few chapters of reading done. Started Hunger Games and I'm not hating it.

Back to life I guess...

Whistler Trip #2

Yay! Currently only downside is we woke up early and our ride is late. They may still be sleeping. The plan was to leave at 9:30 am, we can't get ahold of either one of them.

I'd say excitement has diminished a bit.

*edit*

We made it safe and sound. Our friends decided to take their German Shepard along and though he is a good dog, we have spent a bit of fun time worrying. I don't really care either way. I've already missed out on a few fun things because I don't want my sickness to get worse. I was however, able to go and have a drink with them tonight. I had Pomegranate Cider. It was interesting but like all alcoholic drinks I get tired of them half way through and stall. I really don't care for drinking that much. I feel like a party pooper but I would rather get well and enjoy what I can than get worse and start my job on that same note.

Oh, I don't remember if I said anything, and I'm too lazy to go back and check my previous posts. I quit the Shell job and got a job at Costco selling Dish Network. $10 an hour plus commission. I'm excited and I certainly did not feel any regret leaving Shell. I'm just really tired of people who come in with a stick up their asses. It's like that is the requirement to pump gas or something. I loved my cool customers but it really only takes 1 asshole to ruin the day. I'll be glad when I don't have to deal very much with those kinds of people anymore. It'll mainly be the DDS and the reception persons job to deal with BS.

Anyway enough of my little rant. Here are a few pictures of tonight that I was able to get.

Week 12 Complete

Finals are OVER!!!

So I have seen a few of my finals grades and I have come to the conclusion that I am getting B's as my overall grades for the quarter. I am upset but then again happy that I passed. I will know for sure once the grades come out next week but that is my best guess. Tomorrow I will actually start my Winter Break and be completely happy that it has come.

I will head to Whistler again with my BF and friends this weekend. Trying to get the house all cleaned and proper; that way when I get home I won't have this big mess to deal with.

I should be starting my job next Monday if me and my boss can figure something out tomorrow. I am excited but fretting a bit over the details. I should be fine though, it isn't that hard to stand there and sell things.

I am hoping to start a new hobby during break but it will all depend on what I can learn without emptying my brain of anything else. Wish me luck with that because otherwise I will just be a mess haha.

Week 12 Start

Late again...

FINALS WEEK!!

Currently 3 down and 2 to go. Feeling ok. Just tired and burnt out. Made fudge last night and I have a sore throat now from testing the batches.

*edit*

4 down now. Getting my drug test done and I should be able to go back home to nap!

Week 11 Completed

Last day of instruction with no instruction. Spent the past 3 days working on my own study packets for each class. 19 hours or so of just writing outlines and extra notes, I'm exhausted and need to get some good sleep tonight. I've shared some of my work with a few of the girls I want to continue the program with. I feel accomplished and happy to help them plus it makes for a good review during break. And apparently we are creating portfolios at the end of the program so I'm ahead with these notes. My teacher has been amazed at how much effort I have put into this. I really do enjoy this program and what I'll be doing. I want to do my best and if I'm being recognized for the work I am doing I am happy.

1 more week then I can look forward to Whistler again :)

Week 11 Start

Late yet again.

Monday wasn't too horrible but I did forget a few things for my tests. My teacher hurt her ankle so she wasn't there at the start so our other teacher just passed out the tests. She ended up showing up a bit later and gave the last test. Today she called a few girls and told us all we didn't have class. Doesn't apply to the girls who had clinic, one of them being me. We had 2 missing so it was rushed but good. We got done early as well. 2 girls came to class anyway to practice and study, I just chilled with them until it was time to work out. I over did it today so I feel like poop. About to watch the Victoria Secret Fashion Show!
