My huge audience, please forgive the lack of blog for the last week, as I have been busy making moves and getting everything into place! I shall begin last week about my journey to the great land of JMU! I arrived Thursday around 2:30pm to some very excited friends. I am not sure if they were excited I was there or because I brought 6 dozen chocolate chip cookies with me... either way it was so good to see them!! I relaxed with everyone before going out to dinner at our favorite mexican restaurant el charros for some tacos & margaritas! ay ay! You know you've found great friends when all the time apart doesn't change a single thing. We then bopped around to everyone's houses seeing people and enjoying the evening. Friday was day one of the "Days of the Slugs". What are the "Days of Slugs" you ask? Well, similar to cave mode, Days of Slugs: noun, [ daahz uf slooguz] are when a group of young people gather in one dark room, with many movies, junk food, and have no intention from moving from one spot for at least 10 hours at a time. We woke up early to begin Day 1, complete with breakfast and a plethora of movies to keep us entertained for the duration of the day. Fast forward to around 4pm, my friend Corrin called me and asked if I wanted to do a hot yoga class with her. Since I had been the definition of a slug all day, I said sure why not let's give it a try.... Fast forward 90 minutes of sitting in the Sahara desert with 1 water bottle and too much exercise, I am drenched. Like it looks like I took a shower with all my clothes on drenched. However, it was a neat experience, doing yoga in a room that was between 108-113 degrees for 90 minutes. Below is a picture of how I felt except substitute cupcakes for iHop breakfast, eek! My cheat weekend had just begun.
After hot yoga it was time to get ready for the big party of the evening. It was bid celebration for my favorite fraternity, lambda chi, and it was a mixer with my sorority so we all were excited to go. We got ready and all gathered to head over together. Fast forward to later that night I am making bad decisions by eating 2 pieces of pizza without a care in the world. Shaaaaameeee.
Saturday, cue Day of the Slugs, round 2. Except this time it was with Mcdonald's and a marathon of tv for the entire day. Like.. the whole day from 8am till 9pm. That is pure talent right there, it's hard to be in one position that long, but hey some people just have a gift. That was my first day not doing any type of exercise in over 2 weeks, oh well! We didn't really wanna go out on Saturday night, but my friends told me to stop being old and get it together. I did.. for about an hour then Alyssa and I went home to resume Day of the Slugs until we fell asleep in front of the tv.
Sunday was my last day at JMU and I hung out with everyone there until around 2pm before heading home to my beloved house in Greenville. I have really grown to enjoy my little routine and missed my gym friends and actually feeling like a productive human being. BUT THEN. I got an email on my phone that Longhorn Steakhouse had an open server position and wanted to interview me... SCOREEEE. I planned on calling the next day feeling incredibly encouraged that I could possibly have a job in the next couple days. I got home in about 4 hours and 15 minutes and started some laundry, ate some food then went straight to bed. Monday I got home and planned on going to the gym at night because I wanted a good night sleep after my crazy weekend. I called Longhorn and they scheduled an interview for 3pm. D DAY! I wore a cute dress and did my hair and headed to my interview. THEY LOVED ME ! WOOO GOT THE JOBBBB!!!!!!! They offered it to me on the spot, and I start orientation this week, I AM SO EXCITED.
Lauren came over with Bails later that night to get some dinner to celebrate my new found job-ness. We hung out for a little and Bails was so good the whole time, let us eat our whole dinner just sitting in her seat playing with her feet! Ha I rhymed. She's such a cutie I missed her and my sister while I was away, happy to be back with them! Yesterday I woke up at my normal 6:25am time and hit the gym! Had a great workout, got all my school work done, then Lauren picked me up to run some errands around town. I bought stuff for my work uniform, dark blue jeans, black belt, and a black button down shirt. I am sure it was incredibly entertaining for those around Lauren and I to figure out what size in men's dress shirts I am to buy for work. Dumb and dumber status, but we figured it out! 15, 32-33 fits, whatever that means hahah. We ran a bunch more errands before Bails and I were ready to just chill so we went back to my house to watch tv and let Bails take a snooze. We got some dinner then I promptly got in bed for the night. It's been an exciting few days!!
Missed this nugget!! Today I hit the gym like usual this morning and now just cleaning the house a bit waiting for the call about when I start orientation. Hope you all have had a great week!!
