Bikini contest? Um, ok?

Sitting at jumpstart yesterday (a meeting for us before the start of shift to figure out new info, etc), my GM brings up the bikini contest that is this weekend. THIS WEEKEND. Somehow I get dragged into doing it. I laugh it off at first, thinking my managers and a few of the girls were joking. Then I realize they're serious. I just shook my head because I'm nowhere near what I would consider good material for bikini contests right now. I don't say that stuff to get compliments because I will be the first to say I'm cute, but I'm so not hot or sexy. So my managers pulled me aside and asked again. I just don't know if I can do it yet. I don't have the confidence yet nor the body that I think I'll need. There's one more contest in a few months but I need professional pics taken to enter so I may try that one. Again, we'll see. It's a lot of work, I hear.

Oh yes! And there's a theif among us at work. The other night (Sunday if I remember correctly) a girl had over 100 dollars stolen from her purse. Someone literally rifled through her stuff and stole money. See kids? This is why you don't bring valuables inside because you can never trust anyone anymore. I felt horrible for this girl though. All I could do was hug her as she cried because she has bills and stuff to pay for. I wish there was something I could have done for her. :(

I have today and tommorrow off so I'm spending the day today on my hopefully new college campus and getting stuff figured out so I can get in and start in the fall. This campus is really pretty and I'm psyched to hopefully be back on track with school. It'll be a relief to finish it in a year or two :)

On that note, I'm peacing out so I can be productive tonight. Thanks to everyone following me on this thing right now :) I love sharing my stories with you all!

Changing Angles

Hey everyone!! Long time no write. Well, this week has been hectic to say the least. I started work, I've been studying all week for my test that I just took (got a B, woohoo!!), and I'm OFFICIALLY all settled. Now for the details and all that stuff of my life.

I didn't get the job in Charlotte. Maybe if another position opens up, I'll be able to get it. I'm gonna be honest though, I really don't care that I didn't get this position. This job at Hooters is amazing. I get to make my own schedule, I will be making more than enough money, and the girls are (for the most part) nothing short of amazing. I feel self-conscious at first when I put my uniform on because I don't have the boobs or the totally flat stomach that I want, but once I really get into it, I feel fine. Also, we get free memberships to the gym, so I'm totally taking advantage of that. I officially start tomorrow on my own since the past three days I've been training. I'm pretty nervous but I guess in a good way. Unfortunately, I cannot post pics of me in my uniform or anything because it's against company policy unless it's taken at an event or by an official cameraman or something like that. Maybe one day I'll get pictures or something, but who knows ;) I also may get the chance one day down the road to go overseas, be involved in charities, all that good stuff.

I'm also doing pretty well in school. Granted, it's only been two weeks since school has started, but I'm almost at an A so that's a big yay for me. I still have one other class that will start up in a couple of weeks and I need to get ahead as much as possible in this class now. I'm very proud of myself in the fact I've been keeping up with this bullshit of a difficult class. No joke, this class is so hard.

My mommy's coming up here in about two weeks and finally I'll have a girl's opinion on my makeup and stuff. I have no idea wtf to do when it comes to makeup, but she knows what looks good on me and what doesn't. Plus, if I get bored and my dad's not home, she'll be there. Hopefully the Hooters girls and I will become closer though and I'll have friends.

Alright ladies, a big sort of question/update for this blog. I'm really thinking I should change the angle I'm going with because I'm not able to date right now, I'm just taking the love thing with a grain of salt (especially with everything that has happened to me with the ex and stuff like that), and I don't want to bore anyone who actually reads this. Not that anyone does.

So, I might actually change my angle to be about me being a Hooters Girl and the day to day aspects of working there, the men who come in, the girls I work with, and maybe . . . just MAYBE, I'll meet a guy there. Besides, it may just be a hell of a lot more interesting than the crap I've been putting up here since I started this.

So what do you all think?

For As Much As She's Stumbled, She's Running.

I've been so busy that I haven't really been able to update this for the past few days. I bought a new netbook (which I'm writing on right now!) to take with me to places like Starbucks, Panera, or just for home. I can do my schoolwork on it and also write here on it. I freakin love it! I wanted the pink HP netbook but it was like 80 dollars more expensive. I couldn't justify spending that much for a netbook that does the same things as this one does.

I also got a job!! It's not the one at the company, but for now it'll do. Haha I'm gonna be a Hooters girl! :-) I was eating dinner with my dad and decided just to get the application for the hell of it. I didn't think anything would happen of it, but next thing I know I'm sitting with the manager in an interview, 1 1/2 beers in and with ratty jeans. He hired me on the spot. So I had to take this three hour course and exam on alcohol and drug safety but I passed!!! Now I've just gotta get set up for orientation and I'm good to go. I'm so excited!! I can keep going with school and still have money for bills and whatnot. I hope I make friends and meet people this way, too. It also makes me feel really pretty to know I got hired right away. I don't have the boobs at all, but I figure I can just wear my uber bras from Victoria's Secret lol. Woohoo!!!!

I went and worked out for a while yesterday, but alas, no hot guys. Oooooo but I did see a super hot guy at Walmart. I wish I would have said hi to him. Maybe next time :-)

I've been trying to keep up with my friends back home, but only a handful have written me back. My best friend hasn't asked how I'm doing or what's been going on, but my other best friend always asks what's up. I'm just ready to start over :-P

Alright, gotta have a quick breakfast. I'm going to work out, come home, and then go exploring. There's a Ross and Ulta plus a mall down the street. I still have to unpack so I'll do that later today, too.
