UPDATE!!!

So a lot has happened since I have posted on here. First off, I got a job! I am currently a Footwear/Running Specialist at Dick's Sporting Goods. So far I have enjoyed the job very much, although it seems that some of the employees get shafted during scheduling. This upcoming week I have a grand total of *drumroll please* FIVE hours. Not gonna lie, it sucks. But its more money than I would be making sitting on my a** doing nothing. So I'll take it. Also, it surprises me how unorganized some people can be. There are clearance tables that are set up in the middle of the store and it seems like every single person who walks by them has to pick up something, inspect it for ten seconds, then place it in a different location (most of the time it ends up being the floor). If people were slightly more organized, then I wouldn't have to spend 45 minutes of my work time trying to clean up/reorganize all of the product.

I have been thinking a lot about the upcoming school year. In terms of academics, this will probably be my toughest year because I am finally branching into classes that are in my major (Such as Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Kinesiology). Although it may be difficult, I know that I will love it because it definitely beats the boring "Gen Ed" classes any day. In terms of athletics, I think that this year will be a turning point for me. Since school has ended, I have begun training for cross-country. This is the first time that I have been consistently training for either XC or Track since the winter of my junior year of high school. Cross-country has always been a struggle for me, for some reason. But I have determined that this year I will hope to make a difference for my team. I feel like all the knowledge that I have learned from my coaches and from some of the other guys, that my Track season will be a breakout for me. My goal of running sub-2 for the 800 has been in my head since senior year of high school and I think that breaking that barrier separates the "Oh your actually fast" guys from the "Oh I did track in high school" guys. I also believe that I will do well in the 1500m (the older brother of the 1600m), a distance that has never been my strong suit. But who knows, I think people should watch out because I am gonna bring everything I have to the table during the season.

That is just a quick update about my life at the moment. Oh and me and my gf are doing well :) (in case anyone was curious haha)
