So today is going to be my first day of work at NY&Co. I'm really excited because this is the job I wanted, but also anxious and nervous because it's my first day (and what would a first day be without first day jitters?). There is a new policy at NY&Co that employees must wear all black or black on bottom and white on top. Also there are no tank tops permitted, you just have to wear a sweater over them. Of course, I still get to accessorize, which is really my favorite part, obviously. So I threw together an outfit today. Once I start working more I'm going to have to buy new clothes because I don't have that much black dress clothes, but I have enough for now. I have to use my first purchase wisely because I get more off on my first purchase. I cannot wait to work there with all those nice clothes and actually make money. Hopefully I wont spend it all on clothes, but I actually wouldn't mind much because it would be a good investment since when I get a real job eventually, or even just for my internship, I will have more to wear. Right now I have enough professional clothes because I have many from my past internships. I just cannot wait for 3:30!!So from Thursday to yesterday (Sunday) I was down the shore with my family. Usually we rent a house for like a week, but because it was last minute and we didn't go for the entire week we just got a hotel room. This was a little difficult for me because I had to share a bed with my sister and it wasn't so fun. AND we had to all be in the same room which was difficult to wake up to (especially when my family thought it was perfectly okay to wake up at 8:00 every morning). So I could go on and complain about how I just wanted to sleep and I wasn't feeling well, blah blah blah, but I wont because I actually had a wonderful and a wonderfully hilarious thyme. My sister likes to discuss every topic under the sun basically and doesn't have any problem doing so with me and my mom (and sometimes my dad). That was pretty amusing and I learned some things about her. We were also invited to go to a club with my cousin and his friends who were also down. It was interesting, I'll put it that way. While I enjoy dancing and everything, this club was way too crowded and had way too many boys trying to dance with girls and whatnot. I guess it reminded me of when I was 16 and went to teen night at a club in S.C. with my sister and cousins and they wanted these boys to dance with them and stuff but we were so young then. This club we were at was just not my scene. I mean, I've been clubbing up at school with my girl friends and we would have so much fun and I wouldn't mind dancing with my guy friends and stuff, but I didn't really know anyone at this club and it was totally uncomfortable and I wished my boyfriend was there and my sister kept making me dance with these random boys. Her line of choice was "This is my sister! Dance with her!"
Luckily I was able to get away at times, but I didn't want to lose my sister or the people we came with so I would have to go back to the dance floor and find her or something where half the time she was dancing wildly with some boy or dancing about the same up on the stage. It was pretty amusing, I just wished I had my girls there to dance with me so I didn't feel so uncomfortable. Upstairs was the bar area which was outside and a nice place to escape to (it wasn't hot like the dance floor or the bathrooms). My cousin bought a round of shots at the beginning of the night and then one of my cousin's friends bought me a shot later by request of my sister ("There's my sister! She's 22! Buy her a shot!"), and they were by far the best part of this club. Since last week was Shark Week, the shot was called a "Shark Attack". The shot was a blue color and then the bartender squirted a red liquid out of what looked like a vinegar bottle wildly and shouted "SHARK ATTACK!!". It was quite amusing. As for the alcohol content, it was very minimal and it actually seemed as though we were taking shots of a blue colored lemonade with red liquid that was probably pure sugar on top. I enjoyed them though, and I was by no means intending to get drunk that night so I didn't mind. Leaving the club was the second pain in my neck though. As I was upstairs with my cousin and one of his friends a bunch of the people we were with, including my sister, left and couldn't come back in. I wanted to leave anyway, but my cousin wanted to go back in and look for more girls before we left so I tried to wait for him. After dancing and waiting and losing him I got frustrated and just decided to leave and find my sister. She had walked up the street at this point and got in touch with my cousin (who decided to leave without me) and he met me in front of his car. When we got up the street to the diner we decided to figure out how to get home since no one was really in the shape to drive (except maybe me) and drama ensued. I really just wanted to go to sleep and we got a taxi to my cousin's friend's house (where he was staying the night) and then hung out there for another two hours. Now, I had about had it but I didn't want to drag my sister home and have her upset with me so I waited. At one point I even got to spend some quality time with my cousin (which was not exactly what I wanted at 3AM, but whatever) and did a lot of walking. Eventually I could tell my sister was ready to leave and we went back to the hotel where our parents were waiting. It was probably about 4 by then and we just went to sleep. What a crazy night.
In the morning I ended up sleeping until 12:30 I was so tired. My aunt came down with some of her crew and that was an extremely fun time. I finished my book, enjoyed the sun and probably had the best time that day. We had really great dinners all vacation and my only regret is that I wanted to go to this one really popular ice cream place and we never got the chance. Yesterday we got breakfast on the way home and I relaxed for the rest of the day. I found out I got into another grad school (!!!!!) and now I just have to make a decision. I watched Kill Bill (vol. 1&2) yesterday afternoon and then Leverage was on at 9 so I really did have an awesome and relaxing day.
I am really excited to start work today and hope it's everything I think it will be!!
Peace&Love&Work
