1.5 months into being a college graduate and I already need something new.
After my departure from college, I moved in with my Aunt in San Antonio for an internship downtown at an advertising agency. It being an unpaid internship, I had to look for a job. It took 2 long weeks to find one, I wanted to get a bank job, but training time would cut into my internship, so I tried to become a hostess again, but I absolutely bombed my interview... one because he was asking me about stuff that happened the last time I was a hostess at the tender age of 17 (how the hell am I supposed to remember...totally caught me off gaurd and I couldn't even think of a lie!) and two because I really hate the restaurant industry and didn't really want to do it. I just really didn't want to get a job at a hotel because I was so over it. Well, in the time crunch with bills coming up, I went ahead and applied at the Hampton and got the job. Starting June 1st at both my internship and my new hotel job, I pretty much work 7 days a week. Now this wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that I pretty much don't like either place that I have to be at every day. The internship isn't too bad, just boring. I kinda just act like a secretary to the one man advertising agency. The hotel. OH man, this hotel is bad. It was built in the 1980;s, the A/Cs are always going out, housekeeping is LAZY and doing their job for them is really getting on my nerves. I really miss my old housekeepers! Anyway...
Other than being at work 7 days a week, I really don't mind being in San Antonio. I don't really do anything except go home, and spending time with my grandma (Granny), nieces and nephew is really nice. The oldest, Aubriana, who will be 12 in August is JUST LIKE ME. It's awesome knowing why she acts a certain way when everyone else thinks it's weird. The only downside to living with Granny is the deliciously unhealthy food she loves to have waiting for me when I get home. How am I supposed to turn down these food items, not that I want to eat them, but that I don't want to disrespect the Granny love? I've gained 5 lbs.!!
I've joined a gym, due to this unavoidable calorie increase, for only $10 a month! Perfect for my very low budget. What I want to eventually do is join a CrossFit community. But that can't be until I make a little more money than I do now, since memberships are at a minimum $150 a month. I've started doing weight training so that in the future when I do join CrossFit I can at least attempt some of the workouts. I've also decided that I am doing a 100 day burpee challenge. Day 1 = 1 burpee...and so on. I did 100 burpees today to time it and see how much better I can do after the challenge. It took me 19 minutes 57 seconds to do them. It was hard, but I'm proud of myself because I did each burpee with the same strength as the first, not letting my form deminish. Probably why it took 20 minutes!! But my arms are wobbly, and I iced my bad elbow after just to be cautious. So...we will see how this goes!!
