Another Monday

Yesterday was an interesting day. Sam and I went to the Naha Tug-Of-War and I have never felt so claustrophobic in my life. I felt like a sardine...and it was made even worse with the smells. I couldn't stand it and it was bad enough that I felt like I just had to get out. But Sam and I braved it again and we even got our piece of good luck rope. All in all it was an fun experience and I can't wait to go again next year.

Today I have homework to do. After that I think I am going to clean up the house or probably do some yard work. I also have to go do some food shopping. I am hoping that my background check gets completed soon so that I can start working already.

It is so weird. I am doing the exact same stuff I've always said I've hated but this time its different. Yes I'm working retail/sales AGAIN, but I'm actually excited this time. Sam asked me why I was acting different this time and I told him that I think its because I am looking at this job in the long term.

I am not just looking for a "job" anymore, but something that could lead me to my career. And if working in sales is it, then why fight it? I don't have to be a sales associate my whole life. I can move up. I can be a supervisor, manager, district manager, etc. The sky is the limit.

I've also decided that I am going to do my bachelors in business. Thus if I do move high enough in the chain with this job, then I could work the office job that I've always wanted. I could do financial managing or marketing or whatever. So that's the reason why I see this job differently. And I can't wait.

Also I am excited to get out of the house. To be doing some productive, and you can't forget about the MONEY.

Well time for homework. I only have a few hours to finish it, so I better get cracking!
