Weekend Recap

So, we didn’t end up going to the pool on Saturday. It wasn’t even in the 70s!! I was so bored on Saturday!! All I ever do is stay home during the week because I don’t have anywhere to go or anyone to hangout with. I was looking forward to doing something with my fiancé and actually leaving the house!! Now the next time we can go to the pool won’t be until 2 weeks from now!

Around 3:30 I headed down to my aunt’s house for her Scentsy and Velata party. It was my aunt, cousin, step-mom, and 2 of my aunt’s friends. I got one order from the party and at least 2 more are going to order by the time we close it out! So overall it was a pretty good party!

When I got home from that, I made dinner and after we ate, I was bored again! We were going to go out with one of his friends and his girlfriend, but then they ended up doing something else. I was looking forward to Saturday night because my fiancé had said something about us going out in the morning, and then we ended up not going. We decided to just watch TV together and snuggle, which is something we haven’t done much of recently. Then I wanted to go to Rita’s, so we did! I had a coupon and on it it showed that they have Red Velvet Cake flavored ice. I was hoping they would have that kind, but they didn’t. So instead I got a Swedish Fish gelati and he got a Swedish Fish misto.

Then on Sunday, I worked another double shift! But this time, I got a little break in-between the 2 shifts. I worked from 8-4 and then 5:30-10. I was so tired by the end of the night and my feet were killing me! But it was all worth it in the end because I worked a total of 24 hours last week!!! That is the most I ever got in one week so I can’t wait till  next payday! I wish that my total number of hours could be closer to 30 every week now that I can work as many hours as possible, but I guess there are a bunch of other college kids that they have to divide the hours among. I’m seriously thinking of getting a second job!! Maybe I should apply to Rita’s, haha!

Now it is Monday, which means it’s time to catch up on all the housework that didn’t get done over the weekend, starting with the pile of dishes in the sink and the clean ones in the dishwasher. I don’t know why, but I get lazy on the weekend and I don’t feel like doing any cleaning! At least it’s only 2 days out of the week that I don’t clean and not the other 5! Well, I’m off to do some cleaning! How was your weekend? Leave me your comments!! And have a great Monday!

Alright, off to what I’m LOVING today!!! There is just one main thing…

I’m LOVING that I finally got a new job!!! I’m going to be a cashier!!! I can’t wait!!! Getting that call has totally made my week, maybe even my month!!!!

Well, that’s all for now. The 2 night premier of The X-Factor is on at 8 tonight, so make sure you check out my recap post of that then. Have a great night everyone!!!

What I’m Loving

I haven’t linked up with Jamie to do What I’m Loving Wednesday in while, so I decided to do it this week.

I’m LOVING that 1 year ago today, the love of my life proposed to me!! I can still remember it like it was yesterday!!!

I’m LOVING that I have off work today and tomorrow. Things have been pretty rough at work recently and I’m currently trying to find a new job. But I’m sure everyone would agree that finding a job isn’t the easiest thing these days. I should just be happy I currently have a job but I’ve got to get a new one. I’m tired of faking a smile and acting like I like my job.

I’m LOVING that on Saturday I also have off from work so that I can attend a family get together. I’m looking forward to having a great time and hoping the weather is nice!!!

I’m LOVING that next week I get to see my college friends that I haven’t seen in a while!!! Classes start on Monday!!!!

Well, that’s about all for now. I’m going to go make my fiance some cupcakes!! Ever since I got my Cupcake warmer from Scentsy with the Happy Birthday scent, he has been asking me every time I use it, “Are you making cupcakes?” Now when he gets home from work and asks me that, I can finally say yes!! Have a great Wednesday everyone!!!

Did I pick the wrong major?

I found an article on Yahoo’s main page titled Degrees That Get Job Offers. It lists 5 degrees that give college graduates a great chance to find a job after graduation. It makes me look at the list and think to myself, “Why didn’t I choose one of these degrees instead?” But if I look at each one individually, I then realize why I didn’t pick any of these 5 majors.

The first one is an accounting degree. This one is out of the picture for me because math isn’t my strongest subject. Being an education major, I only had to take 2 simple math classes. I failed the first one (I got a C- when you needed at least a C) and then retook that and got a C+. Then the second math class I got a B on. So I did better with the second one, but that doesn’t mean I want to change my major anytime soon.

The next one is a business degree. I just can’t see myself in a business career. I think that would be too hard and too boring for me.

The third is computer/information systems degree. Another career path that would be hard for me. I know computers, but just basic things. I don’t know anything about computer systems and stuff like that.

The fourth is an engineering degree. Again, this one would be way to difficult and boring for me. It just doesn’t interest me at all and I don’t think I would have even had the SAT scores if I wanted to go for this degree.

And last but not least, the fifth one is a health sciences degree. Along with math, science is another subject I don’t do so well in. Also, I couldn’t be a doctor or nurse because I can’t stand that much blood. I’ve thought before about how it would be interesting to work in the NICU, but then I remembered that I would have to take a bunch of science classes for that so that wouldn’t work for me.

So, a teaching degree may not be in the top 5 of the degrees that get job offers, but they are still in demand. Just think about it, teachers are always going to be needed as long as we’re alive on planet Earth. And there will always be ones who are retiring, therefore we will always need to hire new ones.
