Today was the day of my big interview at Starbucks!Since I yet again went to bed late, I was really tired in the morning, but I was fine by the time we had to leave ( Around 9:45 AM). I really made sure i was presentable so my potential boss could see that I was manageable and hard working, so I even took a long shower and moisturized my hair. At first mom wanted me to drive with her earlier around eight after she dropped off my sister for camp, but I was far too tired to move . At Starbucks I noticed something that I had never seen before, I never relized they had coupons for free songs on itunes (This makes me want to come back every week).

I felt really nervous as my mother left me with my Caramel frappachino on a small table while I read the New York times. It didn't help that I could hear and interview already going on right next to me! I though I had filled in the application correctly, but stupid me! I was suppose to do it in pen! After I finished a brand new application for a moment I thought the manager had forgotten about me, but about 30 minutes later I ended up asking at the front counter. Throughout the whole interview I felt so sweaty and nervous, but I don't think I paused as much and said as many "ums" as I did when I had a lifeguard interview. I felt a little self conscious after hear the last girls interview and how much experience she had. But I will just pray untill Wensday beacuse that's when the manager will call me to tell me if I got the job or not.

Afterwards I felt a since of relief since all I have to do now is wait for that phone call. For about two hours later I had to wait for my mom to come back and pick me up after getting my little sister from camp. Luckily I passed the time by I'Ming on my phone and reading the newspaper. I was so happy when mom finally pull in from the road. I spent the rest of my time out at Barnes & Noble eat a sandwich, reading and drinking coffee. As you can see in the picture I also got quite a few book that I plan to read (I even saw the pride and prejudice zombies book but didn't get it). So i'm going toend this post so I can take a get.

Untill We meet again,
Lindsay

Woah!

I don't usally watch reality TV that much because it seems so trashy, but I was surfing through the tv channels and saw this last part on a show called "Hells Kitchen".I really think this one contestant named Joseph has a huge anger problem.Now I can't wait for the next episode and hopes he doesn't beat anyone up. All he had to do was answer a simple question, and he couldn't even do that. I can tell this season is going to be full of drama!

Camera issue..




I love this camera a lot, and I've carried it with me everywhere since around December. But one this annoys me and I keep trying to figure out what the problem is. After I take a bunch of pictures some turn corrupted and end up with a "file error" message so I have to delete certain photos. Know I don't know why it does this, and it just bugs me so much. I hope I didn't do anything to it by accident.

I finally got an external hard drive for my laptop! My Dad ordered it for my birthday. Now I won't have to worry about my computer crashing or being too slow, and I can upload pictures more often! Thank you so much Dad! Hopefully this will last me a very long time.

This is a video post




I hope me saying "so" too much didn't bother any of you I was really nervous in this video, so that's why my voice sounds a bit squeaky.

Let's Get Physical

 


Good Morning!

I have out of shape for a while and today I decided to finally get back on an exercise regime.The program that I picked is call "couch to 5k" and it's suppose to get you from running small distances to running 5K's in nine weeks. The program is nice because it starts off small and then eventually add more work so it build off of your strength. So anyway I just finished the first work out and I can already tell that I have a long way before I start running 5K's at all. I still even have sweat running from my face, so I had to turn on a fan. I can still feel my heart beat fast. But I was prepared because I eat fruit loops and an orange for breakfast and had a nice shower beforehand. Speaking of showers, my mom is telling me that I should take another one.

Adieu!

Which one?




















So yesterday I got two job applications to apply for my very first job. One was from Wendy's, and the other was from Barnes and Noble. On monday I plan to drop them off at their respected stores and wait for one or two weeks. This makes me so nervous beacuse as I said before i've never had a job before and I don't know what to epect at all. But I hope that one of them accepts me beaucse I think it would be a great opertunity for me to grow and learn. So, wish me luck!

Home, Sweet, Home?

I was lurking around the internet and I found some pictures of very strange houses. Would any of you want to live in these homes?







Edit: I found out that picture #4 was a hoax using Photoshop

Wordle

I found this tutorial on a website and thought it sounded really cool:

From UKMix, Bhaggers:

Here's this really cool thing you can do to see which words feature the most in your music collection (larger size means more times present):

INSTRUCTIONS:
01 - In your iTunes/iPod library, make sure you only have the TITLE, ARTIST & ALBUM columns up, and then press CTRL + A, then CTRL+C to copy all the words. After you have done that, unhighlight everything.

02 - Go to http://www.wordle.net and click on 'Create'. Press CTRL + V in the box and press go.

03 - Change the preferences to your Wordle using the toolbar

04 - Press PRINT SCREEN on yuor keyboard and paste the picture into Photoshop/Photo Editing Software/ even Microsoft PowerPoint!!!

05 - Crop the photo so only the wordle remains, and then save the picture :
(Photoshop/Photo Editing Software - click on "Save for Web & Devices"; make sure you're saving it as .jpeg/.gif/.png.
PowerPoint - right click on photo and click on "Save Picture", and make sure its being saved as .jpeg/.gif/.png.)

Historical Tweets

Has anybody heard of this site? It basically combines Twitter and historical events to show what various figures in history would have written if they had Twitter many years ago. It's really funny for people who really are history buffs and/or just need a good chuckle.

Don't Call 911!

 


Okay ,so far today my mother took me to panera bread this morning as a treat for cleaning my room, I ordered a breakfast sandwhich and a mango smoothie (Their regular sandwhichs are better). After that we went to Old Navy to get some clothes for me. Mom completly left me on my own, and it was a little hard since I don't have a great since of style. When we got to the regeister some of the clothes I thought were skirts were actually tube tops! I felt so embaressed. At home my sister was getting sick and tired of our little cousin Jax, so she came in my room with me, but Jax came in and stared
cursing at her and hitting her as well. Then I decided to clean the dises so I could get away from both of them. A few minutes later though when my mom came back from dropping my brother off to a class, Jiniah (Our other cousin) told her that Jax had just called 911! My mother was really upset to hear about it, and we didn't even no he knew that number! A few minutes later a police officer came to our house and gave Jax as lecture about 911. This really takes me back to when my youngest brother called the number years ago. Mom had to take a rest after htat and was really angry so she called Jax's mom (our cousin). Now she just took Jax and the Grocery store to get ingredients to majke pitzels.

Up!

 
Posted by Picasa


I just got back from the movie theaters, and as you can tell from the title I just finished watching Up by Disney! At first I though everyone was going to that it with me, but since my cousins were visiting and wanted to see Ice Age 3, they saw that with my siblings instead. So I had to watch this movie all by myself with soda and popcorn in 3-D.There were almost no people inside. It was a very nice movie and even had a few funny parts as well. I highly recommend that you see it. The theme of the whole story was just lovely. At the end there was a bin to recycle 3-D glasses, but because I'm a rebel I took them home! ;-)

P.S. I saw a poster for a live version of Alice in wonderland and I'm intrigued.

Very Creative

I found this video on youtube. It's from a Japanese band named Sour and everyone in the video consist of the band's fanbase from all over the world on webcames. I found it really intresting and creative from a video these days.

Rabbit Tragety

This morning I woke up to a sad story. My brother David said that he found a rabbit sitting near the shade of a tree around our neighbors house. But as my brother got closer he noticed that this rabbit was very different from a normal one. It's neck was very broken and it was barely moving. At first we thought it was dead, but I think that it was just dying. It is just so sad that this animal is suffering and I wish that it could just be put out of its misery. I just hate to see animals in so much pain, and I don't know what to do.

Figured it out


Yes! Now I know exactly what I need to prevent my computer from crashing and losing all its memory, a portable external hard drive. These are about the size of your hand and are as easy to plug in as an ipod. So instead of eating up all the space on the laptop, I can save all my pictures and information to this. It's is a lifesaver, Thank you dad for telling me about it! And it only cost about one hundred dollars. This means you will begin to see more pictures on this blog beacuse I now won't be afraid to eat up all the space.

Clothing and Short People

I'm a girl, and most girls especially teenage girls like to look nice in good looking clothes right? Well its very hard to find the trendiest best fitting clothes if your 5 foot tall and even worse when your a little bit overweight.

Every time my mom takes me shopping it's a huge pain. Most of the clothing stores that I think have nice clothes (H&M, Charlotte Russe) don't really fit me well. Since I gain weight in certain places and not all over a lot of the clothes fit me in some places on my body and sticks out or squeezes in others. And when I go up a size that's the worse because then the clothes make me even look even shorter than I am and often are too long and look baggy. And when my mother actually finds clothes that fit me, I end up thinking they look ugly and are something that only she would wear out. These clothes are ususally from stores like lane Bryant, outlet stores, Chico's, and places that only people in their 40s and up would shop at.

I guess this is a sign that I need to become healthier since I always feel so lazy and week. It seems the only way I would fit into these nice clothes would be to stay constantly slim, or I could dream to grow about four inches. I just wish that I could find some stores that fit small women perfectly and look good as well.

They're Here

Today we picked up our cousins Jax and Jiniah from the rest stop (their Grandma and Mom were with them), and I am preparing for a week of headaches since with them Shannon is so hyper and loud. Also I have to type quick beacuse we are going to the carnival in a few minutes to watch fire works, its going to be so Much fun. Aaron also made baked Dounuts that didn't taste like Doughnuts, but they were okay.



New Charger

Yesterday I got my new charger to replace my old one which broke, on the other note my computer only has 8 GB left and I don't know what to do. In other news its summertime and I'm completely bored. But I won't be for long since some of my longer cousins are coming to visit in a few hours (and they are small children).I don't know why my mom invited them though since she already is stressed and they will make her even more stressed, but oh well.

Last Day

Finally today is the last day of my biology class.
I'm so happy for it to be over. Four hours straight in a classroom is far too much for me. And i'm glad that I will be able to audit it beacuse there was no way I would have passed it. It really dranined all my energy and now I will have time to full enjoy the summer. And as a learning experiance I will never take another sumemer class again. But if it wasn't for this class I would have never used septa all by myself so I have to thank it in that area. Oh, I have to go !

Yay!
