Today I started my 40 days of being a vegetarian. I think I'm going to make it ok. Sure there are a lot of things I will miss. A LOT. But after just today, I don't eat much meat throughout the day unless it's a special occasion. I had cheese grits for breakfast (which I've been having lately anyway), a pita pizza for lunch, hummus and pretzels for a snack, and for dinner we'll be having steamed veggies and mac n cheese (that feels a little incomplete but whatever).
I went to Wal-Mart today to buy a few snacky things to keep around/have to take with me to work over the next week or so. I'll be working long enough shifts where I'll be required to take a break and I don't want to be tempted to go out and spend money on food or the delicious meats that are involved in eating unhealthy fast food. I got that yummy hummus, supplied for pita pizzas (pita, diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano and mom already had some cheese), a little simply asia thing to take to work tomorrow, some cottage cheese (my fav), some granola bars, cheerios, a few things of yogurt, some tuna, and some siracha to put on everything because it is so tasty. I put it on my pizza today and it was delicious. I really think I can do this veggie thing and in a healthy way.
While grocery shopping today I found myself REALLY overwhelmed. I haven't shopped for food in since I moved home really and that Wal-Mart Supercenter is so huge I was wandering around for a little while, it was weird. Picking things up, carrying them around for a while and then eventually putting them back. Trying to figure out what aisles things would be in was impossible. I need to move out soon and get back on my own independent feet before I forget what it's like. I'm starting to feel so comfortable here and people really seem to be encouraging me to find jobs that are local and stick around. I don't want to. I like the idea of being on my own for a while. I'll figure something out.
I'm going to apply at a few large PR agencies for some paid summer internships. They say they prefer recent college grads over current students but I fear I may not be "recent" enough. I hope I'm not old news at this point. A friend of Mike's works for one of the companies now and previously worked for another that I'm interested in applying to and said he'd provide me with some contacts there if I was interested. YES, yes I am interested, thanks! So that's cool. I feel confident in writing about the things I've done and what my assets are after writing so many cover letters. I also got an email from a lady at ROI Revolution today saying that my application was received and she'd be in touch with me over the next week if they decided they wanted to interview me. I WANT THAT JOB SO BAD. Seriously, so bad. I will be checking my email even more constantly and will check my phone a thousand times a day now. Say a prayer for me PLEASE.
I've said it a thousand times but I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF THIS WEEKEND! It's seriously going to be so fun. If it snows and Kaydee and Kale can't come I am going to get SO PISSED OFF.
OK I'm out <3
