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 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
Attitude Goals:
  • Have a more positive outlook on life. Rare negative thoughts. I can do it! mentality
  • Be ready to seize the day. Feel accomplished about doing at least two things everyday. No more being lazy! Wake up earlier! seriously >.> at least 8am
Public Service Goals:
  • Find somewhere to volunteer, after job is found. Somewhere I feel like I am making a difference in someone else’s life — e.g. volunteering to tutor, helping build homes
Physical Goals:
  • Stretch every morning when you wake up and we can work from there

Awesome I have goals now! :D If I think of other things later in the year I’ll tack them on but yea I guess this is it. One year from now we will see how things turn out! Can’t wait future me! ^_________^

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…
