My Job

okay, so i work at a tanning salon but i'm not going to mention where i work because i don't to put a bad name out there for this company! i have been working at this place since august 2006 and it's not that i hate it but it's just beginning to get more and more ridiculous. it is fun to work with all the people here and the manager does work around your school schedule and extra activities but let me get to the main part of this. They have no taken away our unlimted tanning and we are only allowed to tan in levels one and two, and if we want to tan in higher levels, we have to pay ! i mean i don't tan that much anyways but i just think this is kind of ridiculous considering we do work for this company and we as employees are the ones who bring in money for company and to keep the business alive! Another thing is that i know this is a job and should be taken seriously but its beginning to become more than a job! i mean this is not my career, this is just a part time job while i am in school. Another thing is when we put in a request off sometimes the manager does not take it into considertation and schedules us and leaves it up to us to find someone to cover it! like for example, for my graduation from high school i asked off way ahead of time and she scheduled me ! i told her she messed and she said that i was the one who would have to find someone to cover it. i said okay, i will but if no one will cover for me i am not coming in! well, she got mad at me. i mean if you're the manager and you schedule somoene whey they are not allowed to work, you as a manager should cover it.. don't you think? i'm also tired of dealing with bitchy customers! they act like everything is our fault. the other day i was working and some lady started going off talking about how the air condition doesn't work and that's a problem and we will lose business because of this. i honestly wanted to say lady, i am not a machanic but i kept my patience and was very nbice to her! well i just really wanted to let this out. i could go on and on about this! im just glad i let some of this out! whewww!

AMERICAN IDOL UPDATE!!!

okay, so i am writing another blog on this topic just to keep any of you who are interested updated on american idol, which is my favorite show of course ! Last Tuesday the contestants had to sing songs again from the Beatles song book. Honestly in my opinion no one will be able to sing as good as the Beatles so of course this would be another hard wekk for the contestants. Any of you who read my last blog on this topic would know my favorite contestant this season is seventeen year old.. David Archuleta. He definitely stepped up his game this past Tuesday. He was amazing. I mean Simon called it a Master Class and said it was amazing =). So i knew Mr. Archuleta would make it to the top ten (the top ten are the ones who go on the idol tour). As for the other contestants, some were really good as well and some it was just not their week. The results night was Wednesday night and the bottom three was a suprise to me. One of the best singers in this competition was in the bottom three. I was shocked. Amanda was sent home, and even though i don't like her she should have been the one to go home. well i will keep everyone updated for next wekk. Be ready! haha

Semi-Pro

I went to go see Semi-Pro while i was in Knoxville for Spring Break. I love Will Ferrell movies so of course i had to go see this one. The previews looked to be really funny, so i was all excited to go see this movie. Well, unfortuantely this was not one of my favorite movies he has been in. To me, it didn't really seem like it was a good movie script. There were some really random parts in it. I mean it was funny at parts I will give it that, but if i had to give it stars i would more than likely give this movie two or three stars. It just really did not impress me with how i thought it would. I also went to go see this in the afternoon, which i'm glad i did because i don't think it woud have been worth paying like nine dollars for a movie. Which i must say is completely ridiculous. They keep on raising the price. It's a lot cheaper to just wait for the movie to come out on video and go rent it at blockbuster or even kroger for like one dollar. This is my thought on this movie, if any of you have seen this movie feel free to leave comments on what ya'll think about it. I wonder if people feel the same way i feel about it. It just seemed like this movie wasn't as much as a comedy for Will Ferrel to star in.

My Major

Ok, so this past week I was thinking about school and i'm changing my major. My major was Elementary Education. I have always wanted to be a teacher. I used to play school when i was little and i love little kids. I took leadership 1010 last year where i went to campus school and did a field experience and in ACAD i tutored a kid at campus school. I loved it! For some reason, i just started thinking that teaching really was not for me. You have to have the gift to teach, and i really don't think i have that gift! So, i am changing my major to Exercise Science. I talked to my brother about it because thats what he went through to become a personal trainer. I'm going to go the PT route which is to become a physical therapist. Through the physical therapist major i'm going to go through the sports route so i can be a physical therapist for athletes. I think i will really enjoy this and also enjoy learning about our bodies. I'm also glad i decided to change my major this early on during school since i didn't really waste all my time on Education classes. I only had like 2 classes dealing with education and the rest have been general ed. classes.

This Past Thrusday....

So, my boyfriend and his sister which is one of my really close friends and their mom had some upsetting news on thursday morning. Their uncle was diagnosed with cancer of the throat about 7 months ago. Thye treated him with chemo and it went away...and then about 3 months ago it came back. So they gave him chemo again. Unfortuantely, it did not work this time. The hospital called Hospus(Sp?). This is where people come to your house to take care of you, which is the last possible thing they can do. On monday the doctors gave him till Saturday to live. Well, he passed away thursday morning. He was only 48 years old. My boyfriend and his sister were really close to their uncle..and actually i was to! He always went to Nationals with us for cheer. Also, whenever he came in town (since he lives in California..with the rest of my boyfriend's family) we would always go to buffalo wild wings and go see a movie. He also took us to Hawaii, which was an incredible experience. He would always call on a monthly basis to. I really wish i could go to the funeral but i just can't. I don't have the time! So, would ya'll please pray for their family. They are going through a hard time right now!

American Idol

I know everyone has a favorite show they watch and it's usually something like CSI, the O.C., One Tree Hill or something along those lines..but I have always been obsessed with American Idol. I love watching it from the very beginning to the end. I love watching the audition parts but i always usually have a favorite by the Top 12. This season my favorite person is David Archuleta. He is only 17 years old and i think he has an amazing voice. Last week during the top 12 performances they had to sing songs from the john lennon and paul mccartney song book. Unfortuantely, David did not do well. Since he is so young, he doesn't really know this type of music and under a lot of pressure from hearing how people think he will win American Idol, being the youngest on the show and just being really nervous with this song genre. He messed up his lyrics but still recovered well and made it through for next week which is the top 11. As much as i would love for david to win and i don't want him to. I think he will make it further without winning american idol just like Chris Daughtry did. I love chris daughtry as well. But i will prob be updating on this topic through my blogs. I also am i fan of jason castros and david cook on american idol as well. If any of you want to look up david singing go to youtube. com and type david archuleta! He has a lot going for him. Ok, enough on this blog ...since im just rambling on!

Spring Break!

So the past few years I have usually gone to the beach with some friends. I love going to the beach and just relaxing with friends and getting some sun, but this year my spring break was different! This year i went to knoxville to visit some friends from highschool. i stayed with my good friend kelly. I flew out there on friday and came home saturday. I know its only a six hour drive from here but i flew instead because my dad works at the airport and i got a cheap ticket. I figured that would be better than driving by myself. I was anxious to know if i would get on the flight because since i fly through my dad, i fly standby..which means i don't have a guarnteed spot. Anyways, i got on friday...thanks goodness! i was so excited to get away from memphis even though it was not somewhere with a beach! I had a lot of fun. I got to see all my friends and hang out with them...and i even got to relax. They still had school so i would just sleep in till about 12 and get up and go get lunch with some friends or go work out. And, of course we went out...which was really fun too! So all in all, i guess you could say i had a fun spring break!
