Friday Cheer

G’day mates! I must say sorry for the delay with my blogs. This semester has been filled with busy work than I hadn’t expected. With deadlines on scholarships, homework assignments, projects, club meetings, and much more my plate is full, but there is always room for fun. This is why I am excited to blog to share my experience and have you read my blogs. I appreciate you taking time out of the day to read my typical life during my college years. No two days are alike therefore I try my best to keep things updated and enjoyable.

Anyway, on Friday February 10, there is a reason why I title this blog Friday Cheer. It is because it is the weekend and I have a little more time to do fun activities. My day started with me updating my resume for future companies to fit their criteria, and then I plan on finding my career job once I finish my program in December 2012. Although I am nervous I am ready to take on different challenges and make my dream into a reality. After doing some errands around town I got ready to work at Service Master. My shift went smooth and since it was Friday there weren’t a lot of things to clean up compared to Mondays. As I finished work I headed off to Fond du Lac Theater to watch the new release film “The Vow” with some friends. That weekend was filled with interesting films that kept the movie theater packed. There was a good crowd of people attending the film, and movie critics gave good reviews for this film. I was interested watching this film because “The Vow” was based on true events. This film was about a married couple who were in a car accident, and the wife lost her short term memory. Her husband battled with many problems because the wife only remembers her life before they ever met. To battle with this issue was very hard. Throughout the film it showed the up and downs of their relationship after the car accident. I won’t ruin the film for you, but you can check out a sneak preview on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELg843Ot9CQ. I hope you get a chance to watch this film because this film will make you look at life in a different perspective.
Well mates, on that note I must call it a day on today’s voyage, but in my next blogs I will be sailing into various parts of Wisconsin. I hope you get well rested because these adventures ahead is something you don’t want left on shore and missing the fun. See you soon! Ciao!

Day 3 of finals

As the week gets closer to Winter Break, I still can’t believe how fast this semester went by. Well on my Wednesday final I had my baking class, since I taken my final two weeks ago the only thing we had to do was clean up the baking to which we were assigned to. It take us long to complete our cleaning assignment, so since I had a lot of free time left I figure I could squeeze in some club hours to finish off package the cookies we were selling. There were about four hundred cookies to be package up and be sold to people who were eager to purchase them at every moment. I knew we had a lot of cookies, but it wasn’t until we finished I realize how much cookies we actually did. We package fifty trays of cookies, and we sold them for a good cost of ten dollars.

In my afternoon class we had a fun final for hot sandwich class; we played Jeopardy to test our knowledge throughout the semester. Each time we got an answer correct we would receive a pen as an inside joke with our instructor Lois. As a class we had a good time answering questions and making fun one another, I must say this was a fun class everyone in class has an unique personality which made our class so much fun! It is a bit sad that this is our last class together but there will more fun ahead.
After class I quickly got ready for a job interview for Service Master in town, which is a janitorial service that cleans different companies around town. The interview went well and I got the job after I said when I was able to work. This is a perfect time for me to get a second job because winter holiday is approaching and I need extra money to save up for my backpacking trip in the summer. Once I finish my interview I headed back to school to meet up some friends from Moraine Park. We were all getting hungry so we decided it was time for dinner, so of course we went across the street to our favorite restaurant BackYard Grill and bar. Like always we had good service and the food was delicious, we enjoyed every bite of our meal. Then we headed back to school to play the board game Yahtzee; this game never gets old every roll counts. We played this until it was time for us to go bowling at Ledgeview lanes which is basically next door to BackYard Grill and bar. The special on Wednesday is buy two game and get one free, which is a good deal but on Tuesday and Thursday are better deal because it is all you can bowl for two hours. Anyways we had a good time bowling and jamming to music; with the three games I bowled a 191, 119, and 171. I haven’t bowled that in awhile hopefully I can break 200 next time. Since it was late and we had class in the morning my friends decided to sleep over my house, especially since I live in town it wouldn’t make since to drive so far home. I must say this was a great Wednesday! Well I’m docking the ship for the night; I’ll catch you on the next voyage!

Cheers,
