Double Bag That Please (entry no.7)

By this point you should already have figured out that I'm a total nerd and a goody-two-shoes. That being said, I love my little part-time job. I'm a cashier at a grocery store and we tend to stay open for limited hours on holidays. I worked today even though most grocery stores are closed for Good Friday. It was so incredibly busy from the very start of my shift. There were so many people shopping in the store that we actually ran out of grocery carts! It was awesome, and I'm being 100% honest when I say that.

I'm good at my job and being the perfectionist that I am, I enjoy doing things that I am good at. I love it when customers tell me I did a great job at packing their bags or compliment me for always smiling. What can I say, I'm a sucker for words of affirmation. Now that I've had this job for almost 6 months, I've come to realize that despite being a shy person I gain energy off of talking to people. Hence why I enjoyed the busy atmosphere at work today. It's so cool to meet new people and learn about their lives. 

The other day I helped a middle aged mom with her groceries and she was telling me that she came straight from the airport to the grocery store. She had just spent a week in Disney World, her and her husband had planned the whole thing and surprised their two kids by waking them up the day they were leaving. I had such a great time talking to her and she probably doesn't even remember me. Today, I got to have conversations like that all day and it was great, I almost didn't want to leave... almost. 

I was so happy leaving work that I legitimately hopped into the car when my dad picked me up and yelled "Woot woot". My enthusiasm scared him. If there's one thing you should know about me it's that I give my all with everything I do. I'm an all or nothing girlie. I don't know how to function at less than 100% and if I know that I can't do that then I don't endeavor to complete that task in the first place. 

That's the same reason why I've never bothered to learn to ice skate or play soccer. I know I suck so I'd rather not. However, if I ever were to learn, I would practice by myself so that one day I could shock everyone with my skills. That would probably never happen though, nothing more than a pipe dream. Speaking of dreams, I had a nightmare the other night. I hadn't had one in so long and I forgot how awful they are. I legitimately had to turn the lamp on in my room to be able to fall back asleep. Don't get me wrong I'm a strong independent woman... just not in the dark.

Are you coming or going? (entry no.50)

It's been quite a while since my last blog post. Honestly I've been having too much fun while also stressing out and it's made me a fabulous combination of overstimulated and lazy. Hence why I have not posted an entry in over a month! But I don't want to let anymore time pass, I want to keep documenting my life, my experiences, and thoughts for a long time. My life updates aren't as interesting anymore now that I'm not in school. Well my life is actually super interesting right now but I just don't feel like writing about it, I'd rather live it in the moment.  I've got so many exciting plans for the summer, trips I want to take, people I want to see, hobbies I want to get back into. Like I do every summer, I want to go back to learning the ukulele, I also wanna take time to play some of my favorite video games again. I just find it hard to pursue these things cuz I legitimately cannot sit still, it's awful. I still try to pick up a book every now...

I fall for pretty home and away kits (entry no.25)

 Ayeooo, she's back only 4 days later, please hold your applause until the entry is finished. I'm currently a multi-tasking queen, typing away as I watch England vs Serbia, both team's first match in this year's Euro Cup. So far so good, we're winning one nothing and Southgate created a killer starting line-up not gonna lie. We got Kane, Foden, and Saka up front and Rice, Bellingham, and Trent in midfield... need I say more. Now that I'm writing, I realize that I haven't once mentioned what I thought about the team's new jerseys. I think they are cool, very classic looking but not as cool as the ones they wore during the 2022 World Cup. I loved both of those home and away kits. The bright red away colors and the white and bright blue home jerseys were perfection.  However, Germany's home and away kits this year were my absolute favorites. The white home jerseys with hints of red, yellow, and black look so beautiful, almost like the players are on fir...

Co-workers & Classmates (entry no.47)

 Hello! It's been a minute, I know it always has been but I always feel the need to say that when I start an entry. I'm currently in my 10:00 am Web Technologies class, after today I only have to come two more times and I'll officially be done with this course. The same is true for my other Friday class on Microsoft Power Shell, I'm really nervous about that final exam. If I don's pass it I could very easily fail my class. I have NEVER failed a class, not in middle school, not in high school, not in college, and hopefully I never will. Long hours of studying await me to make the previous statement a reality. But my determination is just as strong as my fear and anxiety. If I want it enough I can have it, April is finally here, (not literally, but I'm trying to make a point). Honestly, it feels surreal how close to the finish line I am, college has taken up two years of my life. I was 19 when I started. On week six of my first semester I started working at my cur...
