Day 11: OMFG BRAAAVEEEE!! ♥

Just watched Brave today!! It was AWESOMEEE!! :D soooo cuuute too!! and there was a cute mini movie before hand as well! xDD

Well anyways like I said before didn’t wanna do anything really today so I didn’t get much done but tomorrow I need to start working on the drawings and all that my “Boss” gave me before July 13th @.@ Ok sooo tomorrow:

1. Take driving lessons for 2 hours
2. Go swimming at school pool
3. Call the ppl who called me about an interview
4. Do job work at school because they have photoshop there

Day 10:

So yesterday I didn’t really get much done xD I ended up webcaming with kiwi for awhile ♥ before I went out to eat Chipotle with my family and go shopping!! ~

As for volunteering somewhere I definitely want to recreate the Little Ferry Public Library website so maybe I’ll just work on that during my free time and present it to them when they’re done and see what they think of it… or is it better to go ask them about it before hand and ask what kind of look they’re going for o.o *sigh* idk and what to do about Korean class. I guess I should just go with the school that offers night time classes right. In case I do get a job… but the day time classes sound better x.x decisions decisions…

1. Buy ticket to go to Baltimore!! ♥
2. Do some cross stitching (I seem to always put this here but don’t do it =_______=)
3. *doesn’t want to do anything else today*… yea I’ll leave it at that

Day 9

Sooooo while I was catering yesterday my Boss from the sales job called me and apparently the position she transferred to is not needed so I’m not working there anymore which is a good thing because my other “Boss” just gave me a crap load of work! I really thought he was actually trying to phase me out but I guess he still needs me and plans on keeping me for awhile. I don’t really know where this job is heading but right now it’s pretty steady. I have work from him that’ll last me a year so that’s cool but I’ll still be applying to other places. I now know when applying to jobs I definitely should not apply for a sales position. I think if I’m a receptionist somewhere or some kind of office assistant that would be nice and I just scheduled my first driving lesson!! O: woot! Sooo for today:

1. Apply to receptionist/office assistant jobs or I guess mechanical engineering entry level positions with no experience necessary if there are any available o.o
2. Find a place to volunteer my time on the weekends
3. Do some cross stitching
4. Or should I just stop applying to places and go to this Korean class that meets like 4 times in a week during the day because I know that’s one thing I really want to do but idk >< feels like I should earn money first…

Day 8: … de heeck

Ok sooo I go in today planning to talk to my boss about me quitting because I do not know what the procedures are for if you were to do this. I just know usually you should give a two week warning right. Well I went in and when my Boss saw me she said she was surprised to see me there today and I told her I thought I should talk it over with her. So she asked me to come to her room and said that she really didn’t want to lose me and thought I was smart and a quick learner. I was thinking wow is she serious. I’m not smart at all and I’ve only been here one day how could she know if I’m a quick learner or not xD but I was like oh ok. She then proceeded to tell me that there was another position available that was similar to this position but I wouldn’t have to make calls and it’s easier to make deals. She said I should try it for the summer and I was like ok I guess I’ll try it if she wanted to keep me so bad. So I have this other Boss now. He’s cool and yea I think I’ll enjoy this job better than what I was doing the other day, but then omg today I got two requests to come in for an interview. One was for a basic spa receptionist job and the other was for some kind of warehouse company and they were looking for a project manager. The latter one is only 7 minutes away if I were to drive by car. I was like wow what’s up with these people. Why are they all coming at me at once. Soooo I don’t know what to do. I already emailed back the receptionist position and told them I have a full time job already and I plan to call the warehouse company tomorrow and tell them the same. Eh whatever it’s cool.

Tomorrow I’ll be pretty busy as well though I won’t be going to work.

1. Call Warehouse company and say no can do
2. Call Driving school and ask what hours can they do and schedule a time for first lesson
3. Pick up flash drive from “Boss”
4. Where do I want to volunteer O_______O?? - volunteer my html/css skills to improve little ferry public library website! ><
5. Need to register for Korean class by June 28 if I’m going to do itt!!
6. Go to catering

Day 7: Blah

Ok sooo I went to the job today and well it’s not my thing. I guess I knew that before I started but I thought I could make it work. I was thinking of just sticking with it till I found something better but father said I should just move on and yea. He’s right. I shouldn’t force myself to be miserable. This is the time for me to explore all different areas and to find a place where I feel like I can settle. Right now I’m thinking of maybe trying to volunteer at different places and see what I enjoy doing. Like maybe volunteering as a teacher’s assistant or volunteering to recreate a website for a company. I’ll probably try to do both. I think that would be fun. I can develop my skills and I’ll have something to do. Next month I’ve decided I’ll go to Korean Class here with my sister. I think this summer I should just take the time to enjoy a bit and learn what I would like to learn. Once I got the job and I was in the mind set omg my whole day is going to be taken up by this job everyday, I thought I would never have time for anything else and it did make me a bit disappointed. So therefore I will use this summer to expand my skills and discover myself and tomorrow I have to go in and talk to the Boss and tell her I quit. I hope I can do it. I actually made a friend today too but oh wells. So for tomorrow the only thing I need to do is quit my job. Most of the day will be taken up by the job and I’m going to be tired when I come home.

Day 6: Got a Job?! O.o

WOOOOOOOW so that was the easiest interview of my life. It seems with each interview it got easier and easier. She practically just gave me the job after looking at my resume. So WOOT! I can save up for a car finally!! :D It’s a sales job so idk how well I’ll do but she said I can move into any other department after I work there for a bit and I think I want to go into their programming/website development department. That would be fun! Soooo yeaaa that’s why a lot of things I was supposed to do today didn’t get done. I’m not going to Korea anymore. I’m going to stick to this job and see what happens. I need to improve my conversational skills and learn how to sell o.o and omg I don’t know how to change the thickness of these lines in Pro/E. smh. Well tomorrow:

1. Go to job for training
2. Go shopping for work clothes?? [Don’t think I should shop in NY but… need clooothes]
3. Find a place I would like to volunteer my weekends
4. Where do I want to apply for Korean school?  This place Hills Learning seems like the only place in NY that would be able to work with my schedule but I’ll look around more tomorrow

As I was looking for a word of the week I came across this link 10 Insulting Words You Should Know. Thought I would like to use some of those words on people sometimes. I don’t really know where to start choosing a word so I just chose one off of this list 100 Words to Make you Sound Smart. So the word of the week this week isss… ACRIMONY

Definition (MW): harsh or biting sharpness especially of words, manner, or disposition

e.g. 

• The dispute began again with increased acrimony.
• She responded with such acrimony that he never brought the subject up again.

Don’t know how I’m going to get the chance to use this word this week but I guess I’ll see.

Day 5

Ughh I’m getting so bad at this goal thing… It’s because I’m not strict with myself. Well tomorrow I HAVE to wake up early because of an interview :x Don’t think I really want the job but it’s good to practice actually going to interviews because they make me scared. Also, didn’t get to go swimming because I woke up late. Arrghhh >< Need to have a better resolve.

For tomorrow:

1. Go to interview
2. Find out where I can get my fingerprints
3. Call the driving school to schedule an appointment for Thursday morning so I have a reason to wake up early
4. Get money orders from the post office for passport and background check
5. Email “Boss” the drawing so he can look over it

Day 4: Go to Koreaaa?? Whaaaa??

Ok soooo the goals I just made for myself might change. I just got a call today from this thing I just randomly applied to and they said they could set me up with a job in Korea teaching English! O: I was soo shocked and didn’t really expect them to call me, but I might end up possibly doing that. It’ll be for one year unless I decide to stay longer but I think it would be soooo awesomee!! I’ve always wanted to go to Korea and this would give me the chance to learn the language as well. Although I don’t think the pay is that great, I really don’t mind. The plane tickets and living space are freeeeee and I think this would be a really exciting new experience that would be worth it. I just have to get all my papers in order! xDD *so excited* …and just realized I didn’t even accomplish anything todaaay wow. So for tomorrow:

1. Ok I REALLY need to start working on that drawing for more than a couple of minutes each day x.x I’m almost done just need to add the dimensions and send it off to my “Boss” for approval.
2. Go swimming for exercise!! WHOOHOO!!
3. Start getting my paperwork together —> file for background check

Day 3: Setting Goals

Gaaaaahhh didn’t post last night… was too tired from trying to get home for like three hours and getting locked out of my house @.@ but the sunset walking home was nice and saw two stray cats. Anywaaaays ok I didn’t finish the drawing but I’ll do it right now after I finish this post and I don’t think we’re making a father’s day card this year. My father already saw the gift yesterday and loves it :D

So for today:

1. Finish the drawing for my “Boss”
2. Work some more on that cross stitching project I bought but never finished

I think I need to start thinking about what I want from my life so my todos are leading me somewhere. Thanks kiwi :p So what do I want to accomplish. I don’t even know if the goals I make will be achievable but here we go. So in one year, 365 days from this exact day:

Career Goals:

• Have a steady job in the mechanical engineering field with at least a 40k salary in a place where I feel comfortable and enjoy going to work on most days. *still needs to find out what she wants to be*
• Have a used black car that costs at least 6k. If I have more money to spend I will splurge.

Educational Goals:

• Be able to at least read Korean smoothly and have basic conversation with someone in Korean.
• Have beginner to intermediate skill in html, css, javascript, and php; enough to be able to create a cool website. *wants to recreate the little ferry public library website*
• Learn a new word every week and use it throughout the week
• Read the news every morning after stretching
• *needs to educate self in mechanical engineering* FLUIDS! :D

Day 2

Ok sooo I woke up at 9am but went back to sleep… always happens… fail… didn’t even notice till I woke up at 12. I didn’t call the driving school because I didn’t have money in my account so I thought I’d transfer money over from my savings and do that later and I didn’t call my “Boss” cuz I was too scared. *Does not like talking on the phone* smh. I’ll email him and I waaaaaas supposed to go to the beach tomorrow but that’s getting moved :x so now I’ll be doing catering with my friend instead ^^. The schedule I made for myself, I decided, will only be for days where I stay at home and don’t have anything to do. So that’ll start next week except Monday I’ll be going to the pool at my school to swwiiiiim so I can have fun while exercising and have it not feel like exercise! Also, it’s easy on the joints. Anyways, so the list for tomorrow:

1. Make Father’s Day card
2. Apply to at least 2 more jobs
3. Read up on some news
4. Finish the drawing for my “Boss”

I believe that’s all I’ll have time for after catering. If I feel like doing more I’ll start learning javascript. Smh. I really need to start waking up earlier. *wishes she could survive on 3 hrs of sleep* I know some people can. I don’t know how they do it…
