MARCH 31ST?! That was my last post date. You love to see it... I apologize for anyone that has read my posts and have had the slightest interest in hearing more about my life. I keep telling myself that I will write once a week every time I make a new posting and I haven't kept my word. Now that I have it printed out here, I'm going to try my best.
Since entering my new job as a post-graduate (finally), my schedule has been quite busy. I wake up at 5:45 to be able to get to my job by 7:30 in the morning. Trust me, the commute is not ideal, I know. I leave from work at 5:00 and head right to the gym to get there around 6:00. My workouts generally take about an hour each and by the time I'm done, it's a little past 7:00 pm. I'm going to write a post about my workout routines and why I enjoy working out soon. But back to my weekday run-through, right when I get home I warm up my prepped meal, eat, maybe watch a few YouTube videos or play some Fortnite, and finally head to bed around 8:30-9:00 pm to repeat the cycle all over again the next day. My journey here in Arizona has really taken a left turn from what I expected. It's not over yet, but I want to keep you all in the loop as much as possible.
Touching on my last post, I mentioned that I recently got a new job. It's a customer service role for a company that manufactures dentures. I do find myself to be a personable individual and can make many awkward situations a positive one (that's one of my go-to lines in all my interviews). But I never imagined my first full-time job being in customer service. I'm great with new people and usually learn new skills at an accelerated rate. Though this isn't my ideal job at the moment, I have learned a lot of new valuable skills, so far. I've never worked in an office setting before and I'm actually enjoying it. The company office location I'm currently at employs a little over 50 people. We have a few locations across the globe, but this particular office is fairly small in employees. In my opinion, it's a nice way to ease into an office based job and get a feel for it. I was inspired at first to work in an office setting by a lot of my roommates when I was finishing my last two years at UNH. With most of my roommates graduating from the business school, their passion to work with a business drew my interest in getting into a field where I would work closely with a company. I honestly have to look back through my posts and check if I've ever mentioned this before, but I'm truly interested in a field of writing at the moment.
Aside from writing with a business aspect, writing allows so much freedom. You and your thoughts. It doesn't matter what you put on paper. If it makes sense to you and makes you happy, let the pen flow. That seems like something a university professor would say. Who knows, maybe that will be me one day. I got the chance to take a variety of writing courses when I was at university and experienced different styles of literature. When it came to a more professional business view of writing, I took courses that focused solely on technical and professional work. This is the field of writing I'm mainly trying to pursue. It's unfortunate because I never went for an internship between my junior and senior year at UNH. This was what most finishing juniors going into their senior year did I noticed these past few years. I had a solid job working for the university and didn't think much of it at the time. I lived on an off-campus apartment that was right outside the main campus and was basically part of the university. I lived with four of my best friends and the summer was looking very positive as spring came to an end that academic year. I'd never lived in an apartment that wasn't some sort of campus housing so the freedom was endless. We all had a very strict schedule during the week. We, luckily, all woke up staggered each morning to get ready and had the apartment mostly to ourselves. A benefit for myself was that I worked for the University in their Academic Technology department and it was only a 10 or so minute walk. I never walked. Started out biking and then switched to my cruiser skateboard. I rolled down from the top of the hill on my skateboard every morning and it made my commute so much more enjoyable. Never would I have thought that I would get to skateboard to a job. I miss those morning rides to the university library. Our apartment was based on top of a hill and the road from the apartment to the library was a straight shot half-piped road. A large hill that dipped down and ramped back up as it came to the main road crossing.
I miss those roommates dearly. We had an awesome summer. We watch six seasons of Game of Thrones so I could catch up to the season premiere that year. We went out to the bars or an apartment party almost every weekend. We used a nice glass vase to boost our living room's feng shui and just lived so leisurely with the boys. A summer I will hopefully never forget. I don't regret not doing an internship. It can just be looked at as a minor setback and motivate myself to try harder to get what makes me happy.
I want to talk about and see if anyone has the same style or interest for the trainers, or sneakers, that I've been getting into. I honestly want to start calling sneakers trainers because it sounds cooler, but I've recently picked up a few pairs of trainers and if you've read the first post, I indicate I'm only buying Nikes right now. I want to show pictures of the shoes on feet and talk a little about them. Talk about why they were made and why I decided to get a pair.
I'm finishing this post up listening to Monte Carlo by Toro y Moi. This is off his most recent album I believe. Outer Peace. I highly recommend listening to the whole album start to finish. He obviously sings about a Monte Carlo and how it's not new and modern like current vehicles. This will tie nicely with my first sneaker posting soon.
Happy June by the way! June 1st? Damn the year is "flying" by.
