Wednesday

Hi everyone! So I'm going to start out by saying that I had an awful (end of the) day, but I'm trying not to let it keep me down. Tomorrow is a new day! Anyways, I didn't do a whole lot today. I got to sleep in (til 9) which was wonderful. For breakfast I made Luke and I delicious smoothies and then sat and read most of my article on fascism. After relaxing for a few hours I got went to class (history of WWII). I am really excited for this class. The professor is by far my favorite professor ever, and could honestly make history interesting for anyone. He's so enthusiastic, and it makes me really happy about the major I've chosen. I'm going to be just like him because it's so much easier to like a class if the teacher/professor is passionate about it. After class, I came back to my apartment and made myself lunch, and then left for another 5-close at work.

This is when my day started going downhill. I had so much stuff to put on hangers which is what first made me crabby. Then, a customer came back to the fitting rooms, and I started with the usual, "Are you ready to try on?" The woman was rude from the start, replying with a blunt "Yes." Now, it is store policy that we physically take and count each item from every customer to prevent shoplifting. This usually isn't a problem, so I said, "Ok, I can take them for you and get you in a room," while placing my hand on her items. She says then proceeds to say, "I've got them," practically yelling at me. I then just told her that I had to take them and that it was store policy. She shoved the pile of clothes into my chest, turns and says, "Ya know what? I don't want them anymore." It was so weird because usually the people who react like this are those that are trying to steal, but I know she wasn't because she had the amount of items she told me she had before I even attempted to take them. I almost started to cry standing there...I know I sound like a baby, but I am not used to people talking to me like that. I try really hard at work to be very polite because, even if I am in a bad mood, it cheers me up when I'm nice to customers. So, it was such a shock to have her respond like that. The thing that frusterates me the most is that she probably thought I was singling her out, but it also made her look so suspicious when she refused to give me the pile of clothes. After she left another customer came up and said she thought the woman was out of line and completly rude to me. Thank you random customer. You made me feel so much better. 

Ok, but I'm done ranting. I'm not going to let it ruin my night. I don't like to go to bed crabby because I usually wake up feeling the same. So, I'm all smiles now. Especially since Luke made me dinner to cheer me up.

So, my resolutions are going really well so far. I started my regular workouts yesterday, and even recruited a few coworkers to be my workout buddies. I've also been tracking what I eat each day. I use The Daily Plate, which is an awesome website that already has the caloric value of a lot of different food. You can even create meals so that if it's a food you eat often you don't have to enter each part in everytime. It makes watching what you eat so easy! If you are someone who has a hard time with it you should definitely check it out. The site also has tons of exercise and health tips. I'm addicted!

Here's another outfit picture:

It's hard to see, but I love the lace on this shirt. It's so girly and feminine :)
