So here I am at work. Goddamnit! I fucking hate working the front desk!!!
Anyways, life this summer has been going pretty smooth. Besides the fact that I'm here 6 out of the 7 days of the week, I really can't complain. The job is easy and obviously boring at the desk. But I'm making some money and money is good. My boss, Rod, is a cool guy and is a jokester. In fact, every employee at the club is awesome. It's also been a learning experinece. I for sure do not want to become a tennis pro. The hours are long, I'll prolly get skin cancer, and it just sucks.
On top of work, I will complete 6 credit hours this summer, history and speech. So overall, I think this summer will be very productive. It's just nice to not do any engineering at all for this summer. I guess I'm lucky and unlucky to not have gotten that internship with B/E Aerospace. Sure it would've been nice to get the experience and money, but being my last summer, it's nice to just relax and not worry so much. However, I'm definitely looking towards next semester with some of the classes I'm taking. One more year! I read what Dave said about his career path. I feel it too. I have no idea what I want to make myself. I mean, I think I want to go into design (automotive, aerospace, or power plant) or maybe I want to go into materials engineering? I have no clue. And that scares me not having a plan. Ideally, my dream job would be to design and engineer tennis racquets and/or other sport equipment. But what are the odds I get what I want?
My brother is back this week for the fourth and it's always nice to hang out with him again. We played tennis until 1 am last night and it was a lot of fun. He's only here for a week but I hope to hang out with him as much as I can.
So my cousin, Annie, is getting married on Tuesday. Positives, good food and meeting family members I didn't know I had. Negatives, it's on the Fourth of July, I have to work the next morning, and the guy she's marrying is a douchebag. It is a big deal though, she's the first one in our generation to get married. But the whole family is talking about it, the guy is an ass. He's just fake, and it bugs me as well as every family member. A downside of having all my family members here in KC is the unbelievable drama that exists. Each family is trying to out do the other which is just fucking retarded. With that in mind, each family is trying to suggest this and that for the wedding. I feel sorry for Annie for having to put up with so much crap.
I really wanna try and do the Men's Health Ab's Diet. Problem is, I have no idea how to cook and I don't think my folks would appreciate it if I burnt the house down. So I may do that when I move out on my own. That's another thing too, my whole family here loves to stir drama. They always say I'm too skinny. That pisses me off just because I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm about 6'0" (+/- 1") and weigh about 180-183. I mean, that's already a lot to carry on a court. They want me to be fatter, which is ridiculous.
Finally was able to hang out with Alex, David, and Truong the other night. It was the first time in a long ass time since the 4 of us hung out together. It was a great time as we got there at 7:30, ate and chat til about 9:30. Definitely gotta do it more often. I see my cousin Raymond and my brother Danny who have lost ties with their high school buddies. I like the fact that I was able to keep some, well at least the important ones.
Another 6 hours before I get to go home. Son of a bitch...
