Omg! So I am totally stoked. I have interview today at 4:30 for a new job. I can't wait. I'll be working with html and ftp, so it's something totally different and I am so looking forward to it. Not to mention I'll be working with a bunch of my friends. There's also a good chance of moving up in the company.
Wish me luck!!!
So, this past weekend was totally awesome! Got to spend time with my good friends. What could be better than that?! Not to mention geeking out. Ok, to those of you that know me, you’re probably wondering how this is different than any other weekend … well, it isn’t.
So Friday night ended up meeting up with some of my friends to see Mr. And Mrs. Smith, which was a really great movie. After that, went to Lazer Quest. OMG I realized how out of shape I really am! But it was so much fun!
Saturday the guys and I went tubing on the Salt River. Ok, so this was my first time going, and listening to peoples’ horror stories, I was a little weary about going. I have no idea what people are talking about! It was very tame, except for the rocks, which REALLY HURT!!! I have bumps and bruises almost everywhere. I felt like a gimp all weekend cause I couldn’t walk. But I had a blast! I so want to do it again, which I probably will soon.
Sunday just vegged out and watched movies, then played Heroes Unlimited. That was fun.
I’m not sure if I’m going to have a good Fourth of July weekend though. Is it a bad idea to go to Vegas with your ex? Especially if he just broke up with you a couple of months ago? I’m sure the answer is a big YES, but I’m still going to. I suppose I really like getting hurt, over and over again. I can’t expect him to understand, although he should. It’s only a couple of days, and they can go either way. Could be totally awesome, or could be the worst thing I have ever done. I am so not good at making decisions, and when I do, they’re usually the wrong one. Alright, time to be positive again! Yay! Vegas, baby! Vegas!
My Intro to Interior Design teacher handed out a photocopy of this on the first day of class. I made a photocopy and hung it up at my desk at work, so I can look at it every day. The words are so true, and easy to live by. They're very obvious and most people are probably going to be like "Well, duh!", but, if you think about it, it's not as easy as it seems.
Either way, I hope you enjoy these words. These words come from a book written by Don Miguel Ruiz called The Four Agreements.
"Be Impeccable With Your Word"
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
"Don't Take Anything Personally"
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
"Don't Make Assumptions"
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstanding, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
"Always Do Your Best"
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.
My classes are awesome. Much easier than I ever though. Java is fun. I remember why I like programming so much. I just don’t know how it’s going to be with more advanced stuff. I just had my first test in my Design class. I didn’t do too poorly – 9/75 – and that’s without studying, cause I don’t have the time to study. Next test I will look at the CD that came with the book. That’s where I messed up. And they were pretty easy questions coming straight from the practice questions on the CD!
I went to the gym yesterday. Hopefully this time I’ll be able to stick with it. I worked on my back and thighs, and then did 15 minutes on the Precor (the elliptical without the arms). I want to go today, but I don’t want to be rushing between work and class. I’d have to eat and take a shower and make sure my program works all in one hour. I could do it, but I really hate rushing. I could always go after class at 9 and maybe just do some weights. Yea, I think I’ll do that tonight.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. After work I’m gonna head over to Costco and pick up some stuff for the party on Saturday. Going to get burgers, buns, alcohol and whatever else I might need. Saturday is going to be so much fun! It started off just being my gamer friends (they are so awesome!), but then decided to invite my sister and brother-in-law (that is still so weird to say!), and they invited some people. Then my roommates are coming and bringing people, and then whenever I talk to someone else I invite them too. So I’m not quite sure who all is going to show up, but I’m going to expect a bunch of people. If I don’t buy enough food, there is pizza in the freezer :)
So I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy, between school, work, and now the gym. I like being busy cause the days seem to fly by, but then again I always feel like I’m missing something cause I’m going so fast! Oh well. If I’m meant to catch something, life will slow me down.
Only 3 more weeks till Vegas! So excited!
And I've asked myself, how much do you commit yourself. It's my life! Don't you forget! Caught in the crowd. It never ends.
Posted by StephanieWell, it’s the end of the 2nd week and I totally love my classes! Especially my Interior Design class. It’s exactly what I had hoped it to be! I was a little worried that it was going to be more of a "decorating class" but it’s actually more from an architectural standpoint.
Java is, well, Java. Very similar to C++, so it’s really easy for me. It’s really helping me remember ho to write programs, considering it’s been 6 years since I took a programming class.
Other than school, nothing new is really going on. Oh! I’m going to go see Phantom of the Opera tonight with Mike! I am so excited about that! I’ve never actually seen the show live, so I am looking forward to that experience. The only crappy thing is that Andrea planned on having the housewarming party tonight. I’ll be home around 11, so everyone will only have 3 hours drinking on me. I’ll catch the tail end of it, so it won’t be so bad, hopefully.
The rest of the weekend is going to be pretty much uneventful. Have to take my car in to get the oil changed, go get art supplies for my Interior Design class, finish up some homework, play some WoW and visit with the parents.
The one thing I am very thankful for is still being friends with Ken. He has been such a huge impact in my life and has motivated me to become someone better that I don’t want to lose his friendship. He is an awesome person. He’s motivated, intelligent, inspirational, honest, funny, and most of all sincere. Thank you for everything, Ken. I hope we can have our friendship grow into something beautiful.
Just wait a few weeks. We'll see if this stays the same!
I started school on Tuesday. I have to say it’s really not all that bad. I think the worst part is the fact that each class is 2 hrs 40 min. I suppose it could be worse. I could have more than one class per day. Right now, as it stands, Monday and Wednesday I have Interior Design, and Tuesday and Thursday I have Java. So far, they seem interesting and fun, especially the Design class. They are both going to be a lot of work, but with my background in C++ it will help a lot with the Java. My teacher for Int. Des. is from Manhattan, which is really awesome, but I haven’t had the opportunity to talk to her directly.
The Design class is really what I was looking for too. I was hoping it wasn’t going to be a decorating class, and it isn’t. It’s more along the lines of architecture, where you actually design the layout of buildings and rooms and such. That is exactly what I want to learn!
Java is just good to know. Any programming language is good to know. With learning Java, I can program on websites and such, which will help out my sister (and make me some extra cash on the side).
This is going to be an awesome session. And the summer is going to be just as awesome!
Vegas, Baby! Vegas! Woohoo!
