Change. Change. Change.

I got the promotion with Marriott Vacation Club!
I'll be making $4+ an hour which will greatly help me to pay off school quicker.
I'll be putting in lots of overtime ($$$) and working 6 days a week (I get Sundays off :) )
I'm really excited to be able to "move up" the ladder!
They're working with my school schedule, which means I still have to put 40 hours in each week...which means I'll be working 6 days a week, typically right after class until 7pm.

I have to go through training all over again which I am not looking forward to.
I'll be working with point-based vacation club owners.
I'll have 800 members assigned to me in which I'll be in charge of planning and booking their vacation using their points!
I'll move departments and I'll get a bigger and better desk!
I start next week!

Tomorrow begins my last Fall semester of school, for now.
Here comes another 16 units and I'll bid farewell to my sweet life.
I'll have my Bachelor's degree in December.
I'll have my minor and emphasis completed in May, 2012.
I have 9 classes left, and I can hardly wait to be finished!
I'll be graduating May 3rd, 2012.
Hold. Me. To. It.

The Scores Are In!



This is a picture for the memory book.
I have never been a "Straight A Student", I've always have a hard time juggling the demand of life.
I guess this semester was different.
Something that will keep my movin' along this upcoming next semester.
I did it.
And no one stopped me.
It's a miracle beyond belief.

I interviewed Wednesday for a promotion at my job.
I find out tomorrow if I got it.
*Fingers crossed*

I've also been able to enjoy a piece of Summer.
It has consisted of a lot of volleyball, a trip to Vegas, and being lazy.

I start school in 7 days.
16 credits here I am, again.
This is my last Fall semester of school, ever.
Bring it on!

Done!

I did it!
Completed 16 credits while working 40 hours a week!
It is possible!

This semester was a learning experience.
I proved to myself I am very capable of finishing anything I put my mind to.
I thought going to school during the Summer would be more difficult, since the weather is so nice and all my friends are out of school, but nope! Probably my best semester of school, ever!

I am officially 2 semesters away from graduation.
And that's only 7 classes....
sweet!

I am still waiting on all the grades, but so far I've gotten an A and an A-.
Not too shabby, especially with working so much and having to figure out the whole school thing again.

I am currently in Las Vegas with Kellee.
She had to pick some things up from her brother's who just moved here.
Vegas is a completely different world. I have never seen so many messed up people in my life.
Hilarious. Awkward. And an eye opener.
I am glad I live a clean life and I can remember the night before.

I applied for a new position within Marriott.
Keep your fingers crossed- it's a long shot.
But, if you don't try...you'll never get anywhere in life, so I went for it.
I have an interview on Wednesday :).


School starts up again August 22nd.
Here goes another 16 credits.
I can do it.
I just proved all the nonbelievers wrong!

This is what livin' life is all about.

<3


Oh, and also, my parents have come and gone.
And I am so thankful I was able to show them my life in Utah.
It was an amazing visit and I miss them dearly.
I'll post more on their trip when I get back to SLC.
