A New Experience

Kickboxing! I tried kickboxing for the first time tonight and all I really enjoyed it. I tried really hard and didn't give up. And now all I can say is, Holy crap! I am so out of shape!! I don't think I will be able to move in the morning.. But it was totally worth it. I actually want to keep going. I also exercised on an elliptical machine this morning. What was I thinking?? At least I have the weekend to recuperate. Saturday I am going to interview with another family. I really hope this one works out better than the last one. I already met the mother, and she seems really nice. So far, the only downside I see to it is how far away I will be from the only people I know out here. I think it'll be ok though. I hope.

2 in. Tall

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt. Well, in my experience this is easy to say, but not easy to put in practice.  People don't always realize the effect their words have on others, or that they can sometimes hurt. After everything that happened this weekend I have been feeling about 2 in. tall. The interview didn't go like I had hoped and then everything just got worse from there. *SIGH* Why don't things ever work out like you want them to??

First Interview

I had my first interview for a nanny position! The family sounds really nice, and I'm meeting with them tomorrow. I'm so excited, but extremely nervous. I don't really care for interviews.. I feel like I don't make a very good first impression. Let's hope I do better tomorrow! I'm glad that I'm out here already so that I can meet with the family in person before agreeing to work for them. I think one of the things I am most worried about, is driving. The roads out here are crazy, as are the drivers, and I am not a very strong driver. I also get lost easily and I am terrible with directions! Caskey has been making me drive a lot more lately though, and I think its been helping. Well, I will let you know how the meeting with them goes!

At The Beginning

Every story needs a beginning, and this is where I am starting mine, even though I have been wandering for awhile. Especially through school; deciding what to major in and what I want to do after graduation. Well, now I've graduated and I'm still unsure about what I want to do with my life. So, I am going to write about my many wanderings and travels that I am about to embark on. I recently moved from Utah and I am staying with my aunt Caskey in Riverside, Connecticut while looking for a nanny job. Not much else is going on at the moment, but I'll be sure to keep you updated.
