Ah yes!!

So I have changed my study habits a lot in a short period of time and it has helped so much; I am glad I made the change now in first year compared to waiting til third or fourth year. Since I changed my habits I have written two tests and beat my previous tests in those classes by about 25%. One thing that I still don't do very well with is my writing. I had a paper to write and put off my research and now I'm finishing it last minute. I know that I need to start early, do research, make an outline and all that but writing, along with reading, are just things I don't like doing and would prefer to put them off. It's all beginning to come around though.

Both my interviews at Gold's Gym went very well and I got the job! I am quite excited that I'll be getting to train people again. Right now the other trainers and myself are getting brought up to speed with their way of doing sales and assessments and all of that. It's not too bad but this is the one part of the job that I truly hate. I don't like trying to convince people that they need to spend money. The way they do things seem a bit better than the last place I was at but still, I am not a salesman. I wish I could just go train people; just like with school, I wish I could just do the kines stuff. But this is life and the path I have chosen so I will make the best of things and just kill it.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Let's hope for the best

Things are getting a lot better. I am getting much better study habits and I have given myself time lines for my assignments and tests that are coming up and I am determined to do well on every assignment, quiz and test until the semester is done. I do have my upgrading classes too but I have it planned out to do that during the summer because they just have to be done before the fall semester starts. I am going to have everything done by next fall and I will be on track by the fall semester and I will also have study habits that will help me do very well in university, I hope.

I have to be out of the place I'm living in by May 1st and I've been looking for a place for a while now and almost got a place and when I told the landlord about myself she said "you seem like you'd be a great fit for this house, but unfortunately someone put a deposit down late last night." So I had to keep looking and couldn't find anything but last night after my game one of my buddies from my soccer team told me that he was moving out of his place and I know his roommate from back in Powell River and I talked to him last night and I am going to move in there on May 1st. I am pretty stoked that that's one less thing I have to worry about it.

Along with finding a place I've also needed to find a job. I've been looking on kijiji for the last little while and last week I saw that the Gold's Gym here was looking for personal trainers so I emailed them my resume and I had my interview today. I feel like it went really well. I was able to answer all of his questions and it seemed like he liked me. The only thing though was that when he asked if I had any questions I couldn't think of any because he was able to put everything so clearly which was nice but I feel like a bit of an idiot when they say that and I have nothing to say. Oh well, the interview is done and now next week I get to do a practical portion. I have to train my boss and he'll also ask me a few questions and then I'll see what happens. I'm not too sure what I'm going to do with him yet but I'll figure it out and I'm sure I can get the job. I will get this job, I know I will.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

I'm deciding that even though I hate all these classes I'm in right now and the one's I'll need to take later that have nothing to do with kinesiology I'm going to just stick it out and get through it because in the end I want my degree and I want to do well. This is what I want at this point in my life and I am going to do everything I can to get through this. I've started to try and fix my study habits and I went to see a counselor last week to help me with all of that kind of stuff and now I'm going things differently. I also want to be able to play next year and I can't do that if I don't have at least a 2.0 GPA and I don't have that right now so I need to just step it up and put the work in. I referred to my training and that when I was talking to the counselor about school and that even though it doesn't interest me I have to set it up like I would train. By breaking my study sessions down into different parts like if I was training my body and doing different split routines. All-in-all I just have to stop being lazy when it comes to my schooling and put as much effort into it as I do when I train.

I have decided that I am going to be staying here in Lethbridge for the summer to finish my upgrading, work, and play soccer. And I have a job interview coming up this week at Gold's Gym and my fingers are crossed because they said they were looking for someone to go full time but I can't go full time until the end of April. The interview is on Thursday though so we will see what happens.

Things are going to be getting better and better, especially now that the snow is going away.
