Work and classes have pretty much taken over my life, but I am slow learning to manage my time and get out some. On Friday, Matt and I went to a gym near my work to check out co-ed blind draw volleyball, which just means they put you on a team and play for a while. I'm not into volleyball, of all the sports volleyball is one I just can't get into...along with hockey. But I went with him, just to watch and be supportive, thinking it would last maybe 1 to 2 hours. I was wrong, it was 4...yes 4 long hours of volleyball. But it did give me the idea to look for a co-ed softball team, so I signed up for one that starts on October 1, it's very very recreational, it's even called Sunday Funday co-ed volleyball, at the end of the season they have a open bar for everyone. I signed up because I need to get out and meet people and actually get some fresh, non recycled air...(I found out the air at my job is recycled...fun times).
I'm still struggling a little at work, I'm trying to get it in my head to try harder because I cannot afford to lose this job, it pays well, great benefits and pretty easy work. Maybe it's the lack of management, but I'm going to have to learn how to manage myself, instead of waiting for someone else to do it for me. Because if I lose my job, my manager won't be paying my bills. I know what it takes to get the job done, I guess I like the motivation to actually do the work. But I'm realizing what I am capable of doing and I need to realize that I am capable of doing a damn good job. I just need to realize that any job will have it's ups and downs, but I will need to learn how to enjoy the ups and coast through the downs without letting it effect my work output.
In other news, I was considered taking a mini vacay by the end of the year, my options are:
1. Georgia for thanksgiving
2. California for a few days (not sure where but I know it has to be near a beach)
3. NYC for thanksgiving
Any suggestions???
In other news, Matt and I both had to renew our passports because his had expired and I needed a name change. We mailed them on the same day. His with UPS 2 day shipping and mine with USPS because I wanted it to be certified. He got his back about 1 1/2 weeks later, new passport and all. They had just received mine the day he got his AND it takes 4-6 weeks for them to process it. I'm beginning to miss the perks of living in another country and having to use the embassy, because fewer applicants means faster processing. But I'm not planning a trip outside of the states until maybe next year, which is about the time I'll get my passport back (I'm pretty sure they'll say something is wrong...Social Security had to get a small stamp on the marriage certificate from the US embassy translated from Korean and it took 2 extra months.)
