Good evening/afternoon/morning whatever it is for you!
So in recent news I have begun to car shop! I've been looking into buying a car but I am actually now being serious and looking at loans and insurance prices on certain makes and models. So far I have been interested in a lime green convertible Beetle, a red Mini Cooper, a green Hyundai Accent GL, a beige Ford Taurus and green Ford Focus. All of them are used and under $10,000 but some are pricier than others.
I am currently looking further into the Taurus and Focus. They are the cheapest and have lower miles on them. Also insurance is cheaper for them. I am going to test drive them hopefully sometime this weekend or next week.
It's been stressful with this big decision purchase. Seeing all the big numbers and walking around in the heat of the day for two days straight wore me out.
I gotta work tomorrow morning at 11 so I am heading to bed. Good night bloggers!

Strawberries and coffee
Yes! That is what I had for breakfast this morning and it was delicious!
Good morning bloggers! So I've been super busy with work but I have been loving every second of it! There's always something new that happens when you work concierge desk. I've had sheets thrown onto the desk in front of me, I've been told I am a terrible human being, I've been asked out for cocktails after work by a really creepy old guest and I've had Canadian candy thrown at me. Such an interesting job!

Another thing about working at Hershey you get to chill with the candy characters!
So the last three days I had off and I took that time to start preparing for getting my passport, cleaning my room and (my most recent excitement). I GOT A HANDGUN!!!! I am now the proud owner of a 9mm Ruger handgun!
I'm gonna start practicing with it soon. I'm so excited!!!
Well in other news I am working tonight. Starting at 5 but that's not too bad. June is usually a slow month. July and August are the crazy ones. Well it doesn't matter cause this Friday is PAYDAY!! Gonna be getting moolah!
Well that's all I have for today. I'm gonna go make me a turkey and avocado sandwich now. Yummmmmmms!
Have a great day bloggers!

New job
So recently I got a job at the Hershey Lodge as a seasonal concierge. I have part time benefits but full time hours. I am gonna be getting overtime and I am paid a good amount of money so I'm not complaining too much. Just about how my feet hurt. I have to stand at a desk for 8.5 hours five days a week.
So for the past three days I have been working mornings. Three days ago a woman who was obviously from Jersey comes to the desk asking some questions. This was only my second day of work so I was still learning a lot. She asked me something I didn't know and so I asked my trainer. She looks at me and asks if I am new. I said yes I was, just started. She replies with, "So you don't know anything?" I said I was still learning everything but I'd help her with what I knew. She says no and walks away. Yesterday she and her husband came to the desk and asked a coworker who has been there since 2007 some questions. Her husband asks me something I didn't know and the woman tells him, "Oh they don't know anything cause they are new." My coworker since 2007 was there. WTF???
Anyways today she comes back to my desk and by today I know a lot more, I have my own computer log in, I've worked with customers, answered phone calls, questions, etc. She asks me something I knew, realizes it's me and says, "Oh you're new." She then turns to the coworker standing next to me and ignores me like I never existed. I hope she checks out tomorrow....
I can tell this job is going to be fun, entertaining and quite interesting. There will be some tough guests but I will do my best with what I know. I really like all the girls I'm working with. They are very nice, help me when I need it, answer questions I don't know and make sure I am learning things properly. :)
Anyways I am watching Monty Python and going to be going to bed. I've worked over 30 hours this week and I will be starting my 40 hour week schedule tomorrow. Actually I will probably be working over 40 hours. I have been told overtime is given often in the concierge area because we are needed from 6AM to 11PM.
So I'm going to be turning in. Goodnight bloggers!
Hugs and kisses

Hip/Back results
I just realized reading my past posts that I never mentioned the results of my MRI. So everyone knows I have hip displacia and lumbar spondylosis. In edition to that my MRI results showed that I have a buldging disk in my lower back. Specifically my S1 L5. So this will give me extreme back pain and hip pain throughout my life. Its extremely bad during my monthly kills from mother nature.

Catchup
Man it has been a while since I've posted anything! I was mad busy with finals, moving out of my dorm, going back home and starting my summer job. Well a quick catchup for today. I need to leave for work in an hour and I still havent started my hair or makeup! Eeeeekk!!
Anyway, freshman year is over. I passed all my classes with As and Bs and I am so happy!! I really wanted to work harder but I am happy with my results. I expect too much of myself sometimes. My mom came and helped me move out of my dorm. It took about an hour and a half just to get all my stuff loaded into the car. It was a lot of work and we were rushing to beat the oncoming storm that was looming ahead of us. The drive home was not bad. I got to enjoy Cookout for my lunch that day. For the people who don't know, Cookout is a fast food restaurant that started in North Carolina. They make hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches and tenders, subs, fries, onion rings and have a huge selection of different milkshakes. I love this place cause you get a whole bunch of good food for $4.25. They are slowly beginning to migrate and are in Virginia. We found this Cookout in Harrisnburg and I was sooooooo excited! I got a chicken tender tray with fries and a bacon wrap. A bacon wrap is basically bacon, lettuce, cheese and ranch in a tortilla. SOOOOO GOOD!!!
I got home and then had to find room for all my stuff. I am still moving things and putting stuff away. I own too much stuff so I'm going to be visiting Salvation Army quite a bit to donate. Plus the memorial day yard sales that will be happening this weekend.
My new job is at the Hershey Lodge and I am a seasonal concierge. I work the concierge desk and answer phone calls, make reservations for van services around town and restaurant reservations at all the restaurants in the area. I work with customers and answer their questions, give directions and much more. My first day was Monday and that was a slow day. Today the park opens and families will be arriving and buying tickets. I've been told that the summer gets crazy and that I will be working overtime. That is okay though because I get paid $9 an hour and I need more money.
As for summer classes I am having trouble. I originally wanted to take two summer classes at a local community college HACC. For some reason I am having difficulties registering for classes and it has really been pissing me off. I'm going in tomorrow to see what is still wrong and if they can't fix it, well they aren't getting my money.
That's my update. I hope to start blogging some more over the summer. I'm thinking of changing the look of this blog and getting into the flow of writing more. Get my writing chops strong like my writing professor always said.
That is all. I hope you have a fantastic day!
Love and kisses

Rain, rain go away!
So recently the Northeast has been getting a lot of snow, this includes PA where my family is. Here in Hickory, NC we have been getting the tail end of it and that means rain. Lots and lots of rain. IT WON'T STOP!!! I really don't mind rain, but when you have to walk from one end of campus to another when it's pouring then you hate it. I do have a pair of rain boots but they are my only pair. I love them, they are so cute!! Only problem is I don't want to have to wear them every day.
With all this rain there have been a few sunny days. Yesterday it got up to 60 and I loved it! I was walking around with no coat on and loving the warmth from the sun. Now it's back in the 40s and foggy/rainy. :(
Today is also the day I go to my checkup at the orthopedic. I'll hear my MRI results and discuss what steps I can take now to help my pain.
Today is ALSO Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. I convinced one of my friends here to give up sweet tea and she's already having problems. I decided to give up sweets. Anything like candy, ice cream, cookies, that kind of stuff.
So I hope everyone has a wonderful day and we will talk soon!
Hugs and kisses
