Starting Over

Another bad day.

I really didn't want to be at work today. It turned out to be Will's last day. He was the last manager left from when I was hired.

This apartment complex keeps giving us more and more reasons to leave, but tonight was the final straw. I'm mad as hell and ready to beat the shit out of somebody, but thankful that my sister is alright.

A little over a month until I turn 21. Ready to lock and load.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONICA!!!!!!!!!!!!



Yesterday turned out to be a good day. And I needed it. I ended up rolling the rest of my coins and helping Marlon roll his. I had $200 and he had $158. I weighed them out and the total was 40.5lbs. Therefore it sucked carrying the bag down to the car. But getting the cash was nice, even though Marlon and I just gave the money to Momma.

I took Marlene to Pilgrim Day care for some training then went to visit my grandmother for a little bit. Afterwards I went and ate at Pei Wei and got the new schedule. I don't like it. Then I met Ding at GNC where I spent way too much money. This stuff better work. The Pump Fuel tastes like shit, but the Amplify wasn't bad at all. I actually wanted to make another smoothie with it, but made myself pass on it.

Got a good workout in at 24. I love squats, but hate deadlifts because my posture sucks so I'm just hoping not to mess up my back. Then yelling at myself for motivation during abs. It was funny, but it seemed to work.

For once I didn't let myself eat late at night. I wonder if it'll help anything.

After a double Saturday and Sunday I'm definately ready for my day off. I just wish I didn't have school to get in the way. Maybe I'll go get me a massage later or finish rolling my coins so I can cash them in. Or maybe I'll just go back to sleep and not worry about anything.

A week later and I'm still working out. So far so good. I gotta start doing cardio though. And eating better. I've been sleeping more, so that'll help. Hopefully. My body needs the time to recover.

Here's hoping that today is better than yesterday.

I went up to Pershing and sat in my mom's class for a bit. Teaching middle school is not easy. The kids just don't get it yet. I don't know if I'd have the patience for it. I talked to one of the other teachers before leaving and she told me that if I chose to be a teacher not to do middle school. After I let Pershing I got a smoothie from Dan's Vitamin House before heading to Pei Wei a little early to eat. It wasn'tas busy as it usually is on a friday night, so I went back and started helping on drahma, but ultimately ended up throwing rice for most of the night. Ef hit me up about going to see Inside Man, so I decided to do that. I brought along Layne and Elyse from work and met up with Ef and PJ at AMC 30. I loved the movie. And the fact that my phone was in it made it 10 times better. They also had the phones that we use at Pei Wei in there, so that was cool as well. A definate must see movie.

Now for some sleep so I can wake up and grind it out all day tomorrow.

My body is sore. It sucks, but it feels great. I've worked out with Ding and PJ the past couple days. They waited for me to get off work before working out last night, which was nice of them. It was a long day at work so part of me was hoping they didn't wait, but it's all good.

I'm trying to get on a better sleeping schedule. Let's hope it works.

I had the day off today, which doesn't happen too often. It was very relaxing. I picked up Kristan and we met up with Ding at Tapioca House. I'm glad I got to see her before she left. Of course we had to play word dojo, but the highest score we got was only good enough for 2nd place. I blame it on the dirty screen. Afterwards I went to 24 hour fitness to get me a membership. In the back of my mind I already knew going in I was gonna get the 3 year membership, but I heard out the other options anyways. It sucks that you have to pay it all up front though. I didn't want to give up my credit card when it was time to pay. I still don't believe it. But it'll be worth it. I came home and rested then got to watch all the shows I normally miss. Then I made myself go workout. CYS in under a month so I better get on the fast track to getting in shape if I wanna compete.


Spring break was fun. I'm glad I got out a little more. Made it out to Thelma's. Shot some pool. Saw some movies. But of course still while working everyday. Too bad every week can't be spring break. Or can it.....

Ten days in a row at work gets kind of old. But oh well.

Greg called me about the A&M vs. UT game, so I watched the end of that before work. A&M ran out of time and the score happened to be 74-70 in UT's favor. But A&M put up a hard fight and either way they should be going dancing. And there's always a chance of that first round upset, which would cause me to go even crazier.

I went to see Failure to Launch with Sammie tonight. It was actually a pretty good movie. A lot better than I expected it to be. Afterwards we hit up IHOP as we usually do and just talked there for awhile. Then we went driving by and through the parking lot of BHS. There we learned the Bellaire police are everywhere. A hilarious way to end the night.

Two days ago the general manager at my store up and quit. He had put in his two weeks at the beginning of the week and had said next friday was going to be his last day, but he called up the regional director, quit, and walked out without saying bye to anybody. I think we find out who's taking his place today. Just somebody else I gotta break in.

Yesterday the regional director was at our store most of the day. I really don't like him now. He took away our tip jar for to-go, so that's around $200 a month that I just lost. I guess it's time to cash in my change. It was a slow night for the most part, which was good cuz we were starting to run out of everything.

CYC coming up. Will I be in shape?

Yesterday was a good day. After my test I came home and napped before heading to College Station. I met up with a couple people I hadn't seen in awhile. Then of course I had to go visit Pei Wei. I left there and headed to the Delta Xi Nu spaghetti dinner. But they were running late so I didn't get any spaghetti. I headed over to Greg's apartment where we left with his sister and her friend from Michigan to go to the UT vs. A&M basketball game. It was a sloppy, low scoring game, but that's A&M basketball. After a STUPID mistake by Tucker. Acie Law gave us a beautiful last second 3 for the win. We were on second deck so we didn't storm the court this year, but it was still wonderful. Afterwards we went out to eat at Cheddar's, Greg's treat. I ate too much and I'd pay for it later, but oh well. I finally got to see Greg's apartment where we watched the highlights of the game, which literally was only the last second shot. Then I got to catch up with Clare, who I hadn't talked to in forever. It's so nice catching up with old friends. This makes 3 recently that at some point I didn't think I'd ever talk to again. We went through all her pictures from Australia and New Zealand. Such beautiful places. I left a little after 1am and headed back. Made good timing with very few other cars out on the road. I'm so very glad I decided to go. I really needed the day off from work. But now it's time to get back on my grind.
