My New Job

I just got a job finally working for The American Grill in Miejer’s.  I start on Monday and I really hope I like it.  Apparently there will be many many times when i am the only one there just because they hardly get any business, which is cool, but I gotta work the grill and the coffee shop that is next to us sometimes too, that sucks, but I’ll live with it, a job is a job and I’ll do it. 

I kinda miss boot camp and all the discipline and strict rules.  It wasn’t all that bad at all.  Yea it sucked in many areas but was overall really good for me.  I’m sort of excited about AIT (Advanced Individual Training) this summer after I finally graduate high school!  I’ll be back in Fort Jackson, South Carolina for 7-9 weeks depending on different situations.  I’ll be learning my job as a 71L, or in other words an Administrative Specialist.  It will be interesting, a lot of the time I spend there will be spent on computers in class learning how to do payrolls and promotional stuff, bore bore snore snore huh. 🙂  But it’s a job like any other except with a whole lot more benefits.  The Army does take care of it’s soldiers that’s for sure.  They are paying my way through college in full!!!  So I’m excited about that.  I’ll be doing ROTC in college as well meaning there is much less chance of them shipping me off anywhere because they want me to recieve that education and ROTC will do nothing less then give me more and more training bringing me up in rank, and the Army would rather have a well eductaed soldier who knows what he’s doing on and off the battlefield then one they just threw together at bootcamp for 10 weeks, ya know what I be sayin..lol. 

Well it is 12:34am and I am quite tired and want to go to bed but then again don’t, I hate going to bed unless I’m absolutely exhausted.  I feel it to be a waste of ur day but really my day is over isn’t it.. 🙂  I just stupid. 

It’s a good thing that I go to the YMCA just about every night and lift weights constantly so I can stay in shape and get even stronger for AIT cuzz there will definitly still be a lot of physical training, and tests that I have to pass, like 53-55 sit ups and 42 push ups and 15:59 or so on a 2 mile run which by the way is a piece of freakin cake!  Oh well.  Still I just like workin out anyways. 

Boy am I bored here I am typin bout nothing but BS but it is my diary and I can do so right…?   RIGHT!

My grades are getting a bit worse in school it seems, but I think I am still holding pretty close to that 3.0 which is good enough for me considering my average GPA from Freshman year to Junior year is a 2.4 GPA, not too good at all.  I could of easily had a 4.0 all 4 years but my problem is laziness and procrastination.  I am sooooo bad at those things.  I never want to do any work so I wait til it’s too late and winde up getting zero’s tearing my grades to pieces.  But it is my fault so I can’t complain, the only time I can complain about a bad grade not being my fault is with my Algebra 2 teacher right now, Mr. Hosani or whatever, he is such a terrible terrible teacher it is very difficult to explain how pitiful he is but he is trust me and I am not the only one to believe so.  I have a 68% in there not good but at least still passing….

Well I’m out i got school in the morning and I need some sleep.  So later,
