Beautiful Maui

Well I just came back from my school trip to Maui and I have to admit it was an experience and opportunity I'm glad I took. It really seemed fun but what held me back a little was not knowing anyone going on the trip, so I thought I wouldn't enjoy going. I ended up deciding to give a try and I swear it feels like I've been in Maui for a week and really got to know so many new people on somewhat a personal level; especially since we were stuck with a bunch of people in vans and hotel rooms, so there's no way you can't know them. Overall it was a great getaway from Oahu and school and work. It's just going to be hard to get back to my daily routine.

Well there's nothing new or exciting going on in my life; I'm just trying my hardest to balance my schoolwork while juggling between my two jobs (quitting one and entering a new one). This week has been extremely stressful for me with working nine or rarely, but twelve hour shifts and going to school. Even my family say I'm never home and must be exhausted. I really feel like my body is going to shut down on me anytime soon. I know there's people out there who have it worse and have three jobs or work more than me, but I love sleep and need as much sleep as a toddler, so this is really affecting me. But other than that, I'm just trying to get by this week because I'm excited to go to Maui this week for my sociology class! Even though we're going to be walking around for surveys for three days, it's still a little time to get away from home and still be able to sight see while doing school work. What I'm really looking forward to is bringing home some fresh Krissssspy Kreme, yum!

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

Hey!
You know that nerve wrecking yet exciting feeling you have when you have so many new opportunities and changes about to happen in your life? Well I'm definitely having that feeling right now, and it's bittersweet, like I'm sad but I'm also happy! One opportunity I'm ecstatic about is finally finding a job I feel is secure and perfect for a college student my age. I've worked at Ninja Sushi for almost two years now but I felt I wasn't going anywhere with that job. The past few months I've been patient with applying to many jobs that were hiring including, Cattle Company, Pacsun, Vans, Levis, Times Supermarket, Longs Drugs, and Michael Kors, some places I got far with the interviews, but it just didn't seem right for me. After months of waiting I finally landed a job at Longs and I'm so excited for the new opportunities and benefits I'll have from that job. I'm seriously glad I waited it out till I found a job I really wanted and thought would help me, landing this job made the wait worth it.
