Next Thursday, Dan is driving me up to Vermont so I can start my summer job. I have decided to write an update once each week, for the 15 weeks I will be there and tell you about it. I have some personal goals that I am really hoping to achieve, and what better place to meet them than at a nudist resort?
I have been upgraded to full time, by which I mean 45-55 hours a week, hopefully all paid under table, and I will be making at least $10/hour.
They are renting me an apartment, everything included, (all meals are included while I am working too!) for $200/week. I haven't seen it yet, but I will tell you all about it next week. They have furnished it too! (At least minimally, bed, desk drawers.) I will also have a different phone number for the summer, as Sprint does not provide service to the area, if you want it, message me on Facebook, (Elisabeth Cote.)
To begin the summer I will be using an IBM ThinkPad, 2006, that I am not overly thrilled about, but it was free, and it's what one gets when one drops and kills one's sexy Macbook. Hopefully I will once again have one though before summer's end. As well as having my car back! I haven't driven it since December!!!! I will be able to fix it! So pumped.
So, those personal goals.
Number one: Get all debts paid off, (except student loans, but my deferment ends in July, so I will start paying them. : / )
Number two: Walk away from the summer with $3000, after all is paid.
Number three: Lose 25 pounds. That will put me at 120. You do the math. I really should be able to do this, as 15-20 hours of every week will be spent mowing the massive grounds. I will be so tan too!!!!
Number four: Gain some self confidence. Seriously. I will be walking around with naked middle aged+ people for three months. I had best feel pretty and more sure of myself by the end.
Number 4 1/2: (Goes along with above, but still different) Choose one to prove wrong: Dan or Dad. Dan thinks since I am a prude, there is no way anyone will see me with so much as my top off, My father thinks "since [he] knows [me]" I will be walking around topless within two weeks, and naked by the end of the summer. We shall see.
Number five: Become happy and relaxed. If 15 weeks in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers doesn't accomplish this, I don't know what will. I have been so stressed/sad/angry for the past 5 years, and hopefully this does the trick.
Welp, that's that. I will write my first entry next Thursday when I get there, and tell you about the apartment and things. Wish me luck! :)
