Whats Up With It?

I’ve had this blog for a real long time but I would always shy away from posting stuff. I posted stuff here and there but I always ended up deleting it. But no sir, not this time. I am now doing a full commitment to this blog. Will I be posting daily? No. Will I be posting when a random thought comes to mind or when I want to talk about something? Absolutely. So without further due, here’s my blog.

A Quick Mid-Summer Recap.

Alright, oooookay. Now where to begin. Well for starters, I graduated exactly on June 1st, marking my “freedom” from high school. Don’t get me wrong, I still had bidness to do at school, but now I had less responsibilities that involved the name Waltrip. The day after graduation I had to go back to school to gather things for a band performance, but honestly I really enjoyed myself at the gig, it was a nice last “Hoo-rah”. Then, I finally got some “rest” for a day but quickly went back to normal for practice for our annual band trip. Days past by and we’re off to Orlando. Gosh, I’m going to miss those long annoying rides. The theme parks we’re pretty cool and I enjoyed each one of it. I got to ride most of the rides I wanted to and rode some rides that I didn’t expect to be cool. Shout out to whatever our group number was, I didn’t lose my mind at all. (Except for my one booboo at the jazz performance at Disney, but let’s not talk about that lol, oops.) All in all, it was one for the books, even with the little hiccups in between. The time now is about June 10th, now I could start my “adulting”. I planned for this summer to get my shitzzle together and redo my priorities. First on my list was self care, second my loved ones, and third everything else. I also started applying to jobs. The first job I applied to called me the day after applying and they asked if I could come the same day for an interview. Nervously, I said yes. I went to the interview and was a nervous wreck in the inside. I was torturing myself by running worst case scenarios in my head over and over again. But I snapped out of it as I realized, what’s the worst that could happen? Them telling me no? Tomorrow’s another day. Hennyways, I ended up doing very well in my interview and I got to admit, I have to give props to Mr. Espinosa because being side by side with him so much had me pick up his dialect when responding to tough questions. I got the job and was supppppper stoked because it was my first job. After, I went out with the ’19 drum majors and Mr.E out for a nice dinner at Riva’s. OMG when I tell you… that food was too good to be true. Shout out to Sarah for bringing us there. Few days later was my mom’s birthday and we celebrated at the Downtown Aquarium, and I got to admit, it was super fun, everyone had a great time. Then work training had begun. The online courses we’re a pain in the butt, but I got through it and completed the 6hr and 4hr course the same day. Ohhhhhh, and I also got my diploma that same day and I got my sixth Free Shipley Dozen Donut coupon for good grades (((((: . Then came my college orientation! I was excited but sad at the same time. Excited because I was going to learn about my school, but sad because I was going to learn about a school that I really didn’t want to go to. Senior year had me believing that I was going to Texas A&M. YA YEET. Fafsa didn’t come through and neither did those darn Aggies. Leaving me with the only option for loans. And I oop. Through heartaches and headaches, I danced with the idea of going to other colleges such as Sam Houston or Howard Payne heck maybe even the army, but neither supported me financially enough for me to go. I decided to go to UH because I could actually afford it. Without me living on campus sadly. HENNYWAYS, it’s orientation day! I went on a day with no Waltrip people going or which I thought. I knew two people but I didn’t really get to talk with them because we got separated by our groups. Honestly, I had so much fun and I actually fell in love with the campus and its environment. I felt so welcomed and accepted, I didn’t feel so upset anymore. But back to reality I went back home after my one night stay at the dorms. And so my on-the-job training began. My co-workers were and still so nice and welcoming to me. They taught me so many things in a matter of four days. I actually like my job. Then I finally started workingggg, but I had to miss a few parade rehearsals since I only had slim to no choice. Then the time now is JULY FOURTH. My gosh, time has gone so fast. I did my first parade as an alumni and my oh my. It was a lot more emotional than expected lmfao. I had a great time. Now this time was my last “Hoorah”. OH. I finally applied for a credit card and got approved on the first try as well, so I pat myself on my back for that. And well that’s my not so quick mid-summer recap. I’m sorry for this longgggg paragraph lmao. But thanks if you read it through, or if you just skimmed through it, or if you just scrolled to the end. Alright I think that’s enough for now. ciao for now, – Jenifer
