Day 173: I got a job.

Aloha!!

Alright, so this week has been a SUPER busy week for me. First of all, I got a job. I know, RIGHT. It's kind of crazy for me to think about too. I was like, "I can't, I have work." to someone the other day. Never thought I'd say those words while in school.

Not that I need to work during school, I just decided to go through with it this semester because:

-My major is not here (even tho I will still be graduating in Communications-Broadcast Journalism. Ask me if you really want to hear the story) and this job is relevant to my major.

-It will help me greatly with my Senior Project this semester.

-It seems like it will be a lot of fun.

So, what is this job? Before I came out here, I always took these Broadcast classes where I had to go take out a camera, interview people, edit it, and get graded on how well I did my stories. This is just the same, but instead of getting credit, I'm getting PAID. So that's pretty sweet. But I guess I am getting credit for it also, because I'm using it as my Senior Project as well.... it worked out pretty well if I do say so myself:) Anyway, my videos are going to be posted on the school website so the whole school will know how awesome I truly am.

So. This week. I've been going to Orientation, learning the ropes of the job, everything. Also, work threw on this Kite Festival yesterday so I helped with that. I interviewed people about their kites and there were some pretty sick ones. There were a TON of little kids, but a lot of them were so happy it was cute to see. It as a really hot day tho and I got a lot of sun. My face is no longer white... I am slowly turning brown which is GREAT NEWS.

I went to the beach a few times this week as well. A wave totally took me out while body surfing tho and I crashed my knee pretty hard, but it was still a good day. I also got burned a little bit, but it's turning into a tan which I'm pretty excited about.

Me and my friend went to this place called Surfin Tacos and it is one of my new favorite places to eat. There is not a lot of Mexican here on the Island, so this will for sure get my fill. It reminds me of Cafe Rio/Costa Vida. It's really good. We also saw 2 movies this week: The Switch and Wallstreet. I didn't really care for either one of them. But we had the best time and laughed at all the stupid parts. It was just fun hanging out.

I took a Yoga class on the beach the other night too!! It was my first time doing Yoga, but it was totally fun!

Also, my teacher made fun of me the second day of class. I am used to being the target, because I react to what people say, but not from a teacher, on the 2nd day of class. He always picks on people tho, so I guess it was my time. I came in, wearing a plaid shirt and a headband that kind of made me look like a hippie. When I sat down, he was like "What is this outfit? Are you coming back from woodstock? You look like a hippie." I was kind of speechless and didn't know what to say. He said, "I grew up in the 60s-70s so I like it." Whatever. It's chill. I will continue to wear that outfit because I like it. It was just really funny that it was in front of the whole class.

My English teacher cries over Shakespeare. She just feels so passionately about it. This will be an interesting semester. I don't do well with overly sensitive people.

To top off the craziness of the week, I have been SICK this week. I caught this really gnarly cold. I have been coughing and blowing my nose all bloody week. I hate being in class and being that one chick who keeps coughing. I have sucked on more cough drops this week than I think I ever have. I always catch a cold every semester. I don't know why, I just always do. I guess it was time for the Fall semester cold to come in.

So this semester is going to be INSANELY busy. I'm taking 14 credits and working. It will be good for me tho.
