What To Do After MAY???




Wow, this year is going by fast, and some things are starting to really hit me! The biggest being the fact that I really don't know what I'm going to do after I graduate. I *think* I've got it narrowed down to two things.


#1 option; GBS.
This is a very real possibility, that I'm seriously looking at. This option seems a very logical one. A major pro to this is that it's VERY close to all my family, that doesn't live in SD. Another pro is that it's bible school, and I would LOVE to get the experience! Plus, I heard Bro. Wolf say that next year is his last year at GBS! I really don't want to miss out on his legacy!!!!


#2 option is Lake Area Tech in Watertown, SD.
The reason I'm looking into this option, is because it offers an LPN program that you can finish in 11 months. Some pros to this is that Audrey and Jon live there, and it is much closer to home than GBS! Another thing is that I could go to GBS once I am done, and already have a career! The cons to this would be that I would like to get into GBS and *possibly* sing!!! However, if I wait to go I'll probably never do it. Also, as stated above, I'd miss out on Bro. Wolf!!!! Hmmm...much to think and pray about!?!

First day of internship!

Wow, I'm completely wiped out! so ya, I started my internship today, and it was alot of work! I don't think I've ever worked so hard in all my life! Ruby Tuesday is already a really busy restaraunt, but it's hunting season so it's wacko crazy! I'm so sore!!!!!! I must say, though,that it's partially my fault that I'm soooo sore! The uniform is all black with black shoes... soooo, until I get paid, the only decent shoes I have to wear all have like some sort of a heel or some other thing that makes them uncomfortable!!!!! Therefore, if I wouldv'e had better shoes on things wouldv'e gone alot better for me! ahhhhh I really don't care about the stupid black shoes rule! Until I get paid, I'm gonna wear comfy shoes regardless of the color!!!! welp, it's late and I've got homework!!!!
*On the bright side of life, I get free soda, 40% discount an hour before and after work for my entire table, and 15% all other times for my entire table!!!
later

Ruby Tuesday


I had my internship at Ruby Tuesday today, and it went really well! I was actually pretty surprised at how well I like the store manager! When I first went in he was busy with someone so I had to wait awhile. However, it wasn't to bad seeing that they gave me a free drink while I waited. I'm not sure what it is about being catered to at a fancy restauraunt, but it just makes me feel important! lol It felt so good to be sitting in Ruby Tuesday drinking a free drink! Lol I mean I felt like I was just defying... I'm not sure what I was defying, but I felt important! Lol I'm like the new chef, and I was being recognized! lol

Oh ya, I get paid! That sounds obvious, but it really isn't. With an internship they don't have to pay you, but they do here. When I asked Heath (the manager) if I was going to get paid, he was like "absolutetly, this is a job and I pay my interns." Lord willing I start this Saturday at 11:00.

Kimberly and Heidi's birthday party
















Here's some of the most recent pictures of myself! I was actually in bed when the fam called for me to come down for kimmer and heidi's birthday. Sooo I slipped on a skirt and joined in on the fun. Actually, I look better in these pics then I looked, or at least how I felt! Hey, but the giant cookie was really good!!!!

2nd quarter

Well this year is going by incredibly quick, and for that I am thankful! I'm actually having a great year...but who likes school? I guess i'm glad I'm a senior, but i'd rather just be done. I'm not really into the whole "seniors rule" thing. Anyway, I've already been blown away with how expensive it is to be a senior. I mean seriously, I've had to buy an "09" hoodie and t-shirt, an "09" key chain... oh ya and a tassle to hang on my mirror. By the way it's illegal to hang anything on your rear view mirror in South Dakota... ya and the school sells them... wow what are they trying to tell us! However, it really doesn't matter seeing that my rear view mirror is non existant. It was like broken off when we first bought the car! lol Wow, no class! Well I've got an interview with the manager of Ruby Tuesdays here in Mitchell, tommorow. (this is for my internship) I'll post when I get more on that! Welp I guess that's all for now! God Bless!

The first day with my personal trainer

I set my alarm for 4:35 this morning, and actually got up when it went off! I seriously felt like dieing, but somehow survived. lol I somehow managed to stumble downstairs where a hot pot of coffee was awaiting my arrival! (thank God for timers) Yea, it was great, my dad set it to start brewing at 4:30 so it would be ready for me when I got up! I put on some sweats and a hoodie, grabbed my coffee and preceded to go outside and greet the freezing cold fall morning! I love the fall, but wow was it cold this morning! (brrrr) I made it to the gym by 5:00 and started warm ups shortly after! The following Hour (and 15 min. to be exact) went by quickly. I actually had fun and felt so refreshed! I Can't wait till Friday to do it all over again!
