Job Interview Numero Uno

At 2:45 p.m. today I started out my first job interview. It was a good experience, I had a great interviewer and I was a great interviewee, but there was one problem...
To be a waitress at TGI Fridays, you have to have a liqueur serving license.
And guess what?
You have to be nineteen to get that.
And guess what?
I'm not nineteen yet.
And guess what?
They couldn't hire me because of that.
But in the  end, the interviewer, Mike, said that he liked me and that I should definitely come back to talk to the store on June 13 (when I turn nineteen).
So that's the first story that happened around 2:45-3:00 p.m.
Directly before I got out of my car to go to my TGI Fridays interview I checked my email casually. And guess what I got?
I got another job interview at Macy's Cosmetics Department to be a beauty consultant!
I'm so excited!
I know, I know...
An interview doesn't mean anything, but it does mean that they are interested in me, which makes me excited.
I NEED A JOB! And I need to hurry up fast considering all the college kids are coming home this week and they are going to be taking all the jobs!
Anyways, I have the Macy's interview on Tuesday at 4:30. So once again...
Any interviewing tips anyone?

And so it begins

And so it begins, the job interviews that is.
I received a call after school today from my local TGI Fridays; and they want an interview with me! It's excited that someone is interested in me based upon my resume. I'm very proud of myself that I put myself out there and someone noticed my hard work!
Okay I know that sounded cheesy and conceited but sometimes people have to let out their excitement like that. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Anyways, I go in to the restaurant tomorrow at 2:45 p.m..
Any tips or advice for nailing this interview?

Catching Up

Unlike a lot of students in high school, I'm pretty close with some of my teachers. I really enjoy them and they super nice and funny. The good thing is that they have blogs and twitter accounts.
The reason why it is good is because I can super stalk their lives then.
For example:
My one teacher just had a little baby boy last Sunday, and she just updated her blog today. So I updated myself on her blog today as well.
For example:
My other teacher has a twitter account that she has been updating since she got a new iPhone. So I get her tweets texted to my phone.
Creepy, I know right? But whatever, at this point in the my senior year, or my life, I'm learning to care less and less about what others think of me. 
Well that's not true, I actually still do care A LOT about what others think of me, just not as much anymore; and especially not in the area of stalking/creeping.
p.s. my teachers have to read this blog, to grade me sometimes, so shout out to Wad and VP! You guys are awesome!

Job Searching is a Pain

So as my senior year of high school winds down, the summer job search begins. It's crunch time for this high school horror story; the reason I have to find one now is because all the college students are coming home in the next couple weeks and they are going to be taking all the jobs available in the tri-town area!
I need to rush!!
Here is what I applied to so far
1. T.G.I Fridays
2. Ulta (two different locations)
3. Shadowing job at a hospital
4. Hospital Volunteering
Numbers one and two and normal high school student jobs, but I wanted to expand my horizen by trying to find something that will help me in the future with my career path. Even though there's no money involved the experience will be worth it.
As I might have said before, I'm interesting in going into the field of counseling psychology; so it may make sense to get a volunteering or shadowing job in the psychology department at a hospital. That would be so interesting for me.
And if worse comes to worse, if I don't like it I can change my major before school even starts! Presto! It's a win-win situation for this girl right here!
If God's on my side with this whole summer job thing, I can shadow at the hospital AND get a part-time job at Ulta being a consultant. That would be my summer dream job-combination.
I might go into Ulta today to talk to the manager since I applied to the store online. It makes sense to go in the talk to the manager, considering I'm applying to a makeup store and they want someone who actually wears makeup and enjoys it.
So wish me luck!

Nyquil

Last Friday after school I decided to take a nap, little did I know that when I would wake up I would feel sick; and little did I know that it would continue to get worse.
On Tuesday, I woke up even worse! Luckily I had the day off (long story), so I decided to go to the doctor.
The doctor said I had a sinus infection with a virus. The sinus infection is self-explanatory. The virus on the other hand is weird because I had a swollen tongue with a humongous sore on it (I know, it's weird).
When I got home from the doctor appointment my mom told me to take some NyQuil to alleviate the congestion and the cough. Now most people would know that NyQuil will knock someone out cold, but for me it worked differently.
I was up, I was wide awake, I was hyper. Does that even make sense? No, I didn't think so either.
Then yesterday night I was still so congested that my doctor told me to take a decongestant, so I did; and the same thing happened. The medicine kept me up all night-long!
My body is so weird....

My new desire

So about two weeks ago, my grandparents asked me what I want for graduation (gift wise) and I said I didn't know at the moment. But now I'm starting to think...I don't know how expensive they are willing to go with the price.
You see, I really really really want "The New iPad" but the one I want it $599.
I obviously know that they aren't going to pay for all of that but it would be awesome if some of that was paid off.
I understand how greedy I sound right now, but here are some reasons why the iPad would be so beneficial for my life at the moment...
1. It is more compact than my macbook
2. I can get all my textbooks through my iPad and they will become interactive
3. Notes will be easier to take than writing them in a notebook
4. I can easily use iCloud to connect my phone, computer, and iPad
5. It would be really convenient and fun to use!
Those reasons are good enough, aren't they!?
Well I know, I sound needy and greedy, but what can I say? It's just what a incoming freshman girl wants.
