Since last November the topic of me being intimidating or un-approachable has kind of been a running topic. I guess I'll bring up the starting story...
So last November, the day before Thanksgiving my sister and I went out to one of the only bars in our hometown. We had fun the year before so we thought it might be just as fun. Wrong. It was not. In fact it was just a bunch of people I knew from high school and people that I knew of. And I really wasn't too found of it. I haven't talked to anyone from high school in years. So, it was just a little strange. I think my sister felt a little out of the loop too because she was about 10 years older than everyone else. Apparently everyone her age didn't go out...but oddly enough, just the year before there were plenty of people her age and older so that was a little more the scene we were expecting. Any who, we drank a few beers just to spend more time there since we had to pay to get in...lame. As we were leaving, we ran into this older man, probably in his 50s. Random facts, he was Brazil, moved to Michigan from NY with his daughter so she could attend MSU. He has stopped us on our way out and was like "hey, you guys are leaving already?" (btw, we did not know this guy at all). He continued to talk and was just very infatuated with my sister...telling her how beautiful he thought she was and how beautiful her smile was. And that all he wanted to do when he saw her walk into the bar was come say hello. Well what stopped him? Apparently me. He said he didn't want to come say hi because he said I just had a look on my face that just said "don't f with me." I thought about it for a week or so because no one has ever said that i looked intimidating like that before. Not that I really minded in that situation because come on, I don't want to be around some old dude hitting on my sister.
This little eye opener wasn't that big of a deal, but then I had a co-worker from one of my jobs tell me that they thought I looked a little intimidating at first too. But once they got to know me they realized I was nice and friendly. Apparently it's just the way I look. I kind of got obsessed with this idea of me being intimidating...not gonna lie, I still am a little. I started asking some of my friends out of the blue and if they remember our first time meeting. They weren't really bad though. So, then I kind of let go for a bit again.
At one of my jobs, I had a secret shopper come in. Now, let me tell you...I really do try to be in a cheerful and happy mood at work. There is no way I would ever purposely be disrespectful. Or put customer/member needs last. Well, needless to say I had been secret shopped twice and neither of the reviews were very good. Both said I wasn't smiling, and didn't seem approachable. One of them even said that I dint seem interested in them while talking to them. I'm not gonna lie, when I heard I had been secret shopped I kind of felt like it wasn't going to be great, but I had no idea it was going to be as bad as it was. :( This was just a few weeks ago, and I was pretty upset about it. But now all I can do is just try to learn from it. Sometimes talking about still makes me a little upset.
Lastly, my other job just had a review as well. My boss said I did well with greeting customers, but I needed to be more enthusiastic, and bubbly. I think I handled that news a little better, because i kind of know that my attitude isn't the most bubbly to strangers. I try, but I am often just really quiet and shy. And I know this sounds lame, but trying to be that bubbly is a little exhausting sometimes.
Well, the only thing I guess I can learn from all of this is to try and look more friends with more smiles, maybe a cheery tone in my voice, and be bubbly. :p

Capoeira
So, I have been apart of capoeira for just over 5 years now. It's pretty crazy. I feel like it has been such a big part of my life and I am so glad I ran into my friend Cenoura, went to a party, and fell in love with the art. I couldn't even imagine the type of person today I would be with out it in my life.
With all that being said, I can't say for the past 2 years or so, I have been the most active person in capo. I didn't always want to train or even have the time. There were a lot of things that were keeping me from going, but then when I did go there were a lot of things that wanted to stay away. Regardless, I feel, that even though I was not always physically active, I was always still there when I could be for support. I still helped with other administrative things as I could.
Capoeira hasn't been my number one priority like it used to be, but it doesn't mean I don't still consider it a huge part of my life. Recently Furao and I made a decision to leave the Mandinga group. We were just tired of the high administrative stuff and just felt like it was our time to pass those things on. So we quit the group. That being said, we do still make it to GVSU classes when we can. Actually since we have quit Mandinga, I think we have gone to more. There is just something so refreshing about not being apart of group that I'm even sure what it is, because obviously we are still training with most of the same people. So I guess here is my point to all of this, I really would like to love capoeira again. I still find some enjoyment in it, but I don't have a passion for it anymore. I'm not saying I want to put all my energy into like I used to, but Id like to make it more important again. One thing I have such a hard time with is people giving me shit about not training. They just straight up think Furao and I don't train. Which isn't true. Furao has been making it almost one day every week since the semester started. Maybe missing a few weeks. I on the other hand make it when I can due to work. And it just irritates me and makes me upset when people just assume that I don't train. I know it just seems like a petty thing to be upset about, but it really just gets to me. It definitely doesn't make it easy to way to train when people think of you in that way. Instead I wish people would be more supportive. Like saying things like I'm glad you were able to make it today. (but in a not sassy/douchy tone). or I don't know, staying interested in what i do outside capo. Ask about my crappy retail job, or my fitness job, or my personal training studies. All I'm saying is I'm sick of people always thinking so negatively of me. :(

Blogging
Well, as you all know I'm not the best at blogging on a regular basis. But I think I'd like to get better at it! I never super exciting things to blog about, but to me I guess they are important enough or bothersome enough that I just want to write them down. I had this list of topics that I started way back in march of things I wanted to blog about. A lot of them were just complaining about things at that time. But there were a few that I thought I would still blog about.
So the first one I'm going to mention is the last job I had. I worked at GVSU facility services for about 3.5 years. I sort of landed the job unexpected when my friend Grace quit to work at Jimmy Johns. It wasn't the most exciting job ever. In fact I barely made any money. But a job is a job none the less, and gave me experience in some sort of way. Not to mention I was still able to say I worked while I was a full time student. Not as impressive as those who worked full time, and went to school full time and families..etc, etc... kudos to those people because that sounds mighty hard to me. Any who, at my job I almost hardly spoke with my boss about things other than work. Occasionally he would ask me about school, or something random, never on a daily or weekly basis. Well, since I was graduating and I had worked for him so long he wanted to take me out to lunch. So I agreed but had no idea what to expect. We ended up going Uccellos. That was only the second time I had been there. But this time we got the lunch buffet. I have to say it wasn't to shabby. We mostly just ate and talked about random stuff like what my plans were and he talked about what he used to do before GVSU. Funny enough he actually knew my high school principle. They both worked at another school a long time ago. Sadly that principle has been replaces with some crazy young person that doesn't know how to run a school....(maybe I'll get into that later). He also told me he was always impressed with my work and that I was the best and most consistent sign maker he has had! I know its not a huge compliment but it still definitely meant something. I mean hearing a compliment is always nice. And it's always nice to hear one about how you're doing a great job. All in all, it was a nice lunch experience with my boss.

"Family Motto"
So, if anyone ever actually reads my blog. I do a lot of complaining about things. It's just a nice way for me to try to get out some frusration. And if you read my blog and
Well, today's rant about the so called "family motto" that my moms side of the family has come up with. Ready to hear it? I must warn you it is pretty ridiculous....."talk shit get hit" Seriously, can we get any more immature. Not only that, it's just flat embarressing. I don't want to be apart of something like that, and known as a family member who claims something so stupid! What's even more dumb, is that probably at least half of the family who says this or uses it on facebook (yeah, the internet) also "talks shit" and sometimes its even about their own family members. It seriously drives me crazy! I think one thing that pushed me over the edge with it was that I once heard my mom use the phase! WTF!!!! Talk about embarrising.
[Side rant] As it is my mom post all of this personal stuff on facebook and will vent about any fights at home with my dad, and then people "talk shit" about my dad! And it always irritates me! That's my dad, he's not perfect...and it's not always easy to see his point of view. I know everything he says isnt\'t right...but none the less he is my dad and he has been there for my family, and it doesn't give my extended family the right to "talk shit" If they really want to live by their motto they all should be "getting hit" if you ask me....
So yeah...it's dumb! I think their point behind it all is maybe something like family should stick together and stick up for one another. But yeah know, sticking up for something because someone has "talked shit" doesnt mean someone should "get hit" You can also be the better person and not actually go through with it. Or you know, just straight up ignore them! Many of my family members have actually gotten in fights and such. Again I think it's dumb. I've never really gotten in a physical fight with anyone. I have had a lot of angry moments where I talk about wanting to beat someone up (only ever really wanted to in like 8th grade to some girl because she was annoying and always flirted with boys! hahah it was stupid) or throw rocks at their car (I said this recently and Furao basically told me I was crazy!) etc etc...but there is a complete difference to saying those things and executing them...am I wrong?
Well, until next time!

Busy Life
Well life has been pretty crazy as of lately. Maybe not crazy, but out of the norm. I have finally completed my undergraduate studies after 5 long years. I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been done for a little of a week by now. My first week away from school I spent a lot of time job searching. From Monday through Friday I had applied for 21 jobs. I'm in need of one badly, not only because it would help with my career, but because since I have graduated I was no longer eligible for my job at GVSU. This week so far I have been less successful with finding a position to apply for. I've only applied for 3 jobs this week.
I had an interview with a hospital last week. It was a video interview (but not with anyone). I was asked questions then I had to record my answers. The video was then sent to the HR dept for a team of people to view all videos. I should know soon if I'll get a second interview. I also had a call back confirming my information on my resume and application, so I think that was a good sign too.
Since I have some extra time on my hands, along with job hunting a have a long list of other things I need (would like to do). For starters I'd like to get my apartment back in order. It's gotten out of hand and I feel like I will never catch up on any housework! It's really hard to be motivated to clean.
Another thing I need to get started on is studying for ACSM's certified personal trainer test and the health fitness specialist test. I finally have all of the books I need for studying so hopefully I can find the motivation to start more studying soon. The sooner I get to it the sooner more job opportunities will open up!

Thoughts on Guns
Less than a week ago a terrible thing happened at an elementary school in CT. There was a fatal gun shooting and many children and adults passed away. I'm not entirely sure on the numbers. I first read 28 dead - 18 were children, but recently i read 26 dead - 20 were children. Either way it saddens me that such a thing could happen.
Furao and I talked about it and he made a point that shootings (or people bringing guns to school) sometimes happens because are bullied. It's not a justified reason but there is more of a reason why they would bring a gun versus a random man with no connection to the school.
It's is just so sad and heart breaking I could not imagine the pain and grief those parents are going through. My deepest sympathies and prayers are sent their way.
Since this has happened I have seen a number of picture post and status post about guns and gun laws in US. I guess, in my mind I wouldn't say lets ban guns...but I do think there should be tighter restrictions on them (however, I don't know how they are as of now :p). Maybe we could have gun owners go through psych evals before buying and yearly after. Maybe there could be a limit to how many guns people would have. It should be a requirement that if you own a gun you are also required to have a locked safe where it is. I wouldn't say these things would 100% prevent things like this tragedy be prevented, but I feel that it could be a positive step without making people feel attacked over their right to own guns.
One of the recent facebook status post I read was from a classmate in high school. His post honestly just made me want to tell him how wrong I thought he was. But instead of posting it on facebook I decide to blog about it. Right from his facebook post...
To start I'm not sure I even understand what he is trying to say in his second sentence...and as for American being apart of England still...well that is what really just pushed my buttons. Because without guns America would still belong to the Native Americans and Mexicans who the English stole the land from. (Maybe I'm just strongly opinionated because I am one of those minorities). The next sentence is also messed up...and Finally, I hope that he will feel safe having a gun at home. But I hope that he keeps it away from his baby and has the common sense to not shoot someone because their "dumb"...whatever that is supposed to me.
I know right now I don't plan on ever having a gun. But I hope those who do own them have them safely locked up when not in use. And only use them for hunting, the shooting range, and other legal things.

We would still be part of England if we hadn't, guns Are a RIGHT in the amendments and would illegal at state level to ban them! My home and family will soon be protected by 2nd amendment! I just hope nobody is dumb enough to make me have to use my right!!!"

Last Fall Semester
This week I started my last fall semester at GVSU. I'm pretty pumped about it, but also not sure if I'm ready for all the things that I will have to do this semester. I hope I can handle it all.
My last week of summer was pretty stressful, I took a physiology class over the summer and didn't do well in it. I knew I would have to retake the class, but wasn't prepared to get an email the week before classes that said I had to drop one of classed. I was freaking out! Banner wouldn't let me sign up for the class and I felt like everything was falling apart. But luckily everything has been sorted out and I am currently retaking the class again this semester. This time things will go much better. It has to.
I am only have 13 credits, but I have 5 classes! Each class seems like it will have it's fair share of being time consuming. I am taking a special populations class for exercise testing and prescription. It's pretty simila to a few other classes I have had where we make exercise prescriptions for people in class. But this class seems to be focusing on applying our knowledge to people that we will actually see in the workfield. People who are not "normal, healthy adults". (This is what my prof. describe special pops as. It's kinda silly). I'm also taking my capstone class. It's an SWS so that means A TON of writting, which I'm not really looking forward too. But hopefully it won't be as bad as I think it will. It actually sounds like a pretty interesting and useful class. To be honest, I've always thought capstone classes were going to be boing and not that useful. This prof. seems to really want us to be prepared for the workfield. She wants to bring in people with different jobs and give us a chance to see what is out there that we can do with our degrees. I'm taking an ECG course this semester too. I would have really liked to do my internship in cardiac rehab, but two of the places I have applied, I got rejected. And now that I have two classes I need to take in the winter semester along with an internship, I'm not sure I want to have such a big internship. I would love it, but I just won't have the time. I'm still going to take the class. It's sounds pretty interesting and maybe it won't heart to have the skills from that class. The last class I have is fieldwork. I had my first day today. I'll be at the YMCA - Visser family. It seems like it's going to be a great learning experience and I can't wait to see what else it has in store for me.
Other than school things, it's kind of been the same ol' same ol'. My few weeks of summer were...well, short. It was about 2.5 weeks and it went by fast. The first week Robbie was sick so I was taking care of him, then I got sick. Then I worked through out the week and finished up volunteering with Spectrum PT's. Last week was packed with things. I worked two days of the week, then on Wednesday we went to Holland and just walked around a bit, in and out of shops. It wasn't super exciting but it was nice to get out of the apartment and just enjoy hanging out with each. To end our trip we went to New Hollanding Brewing Co. We got some beer chips and beer/whiskey cheese, and a few other things that were pretty tastey. And of course we each had a few beers. The next day we headed to Kalamazoo to visit some good friends of ours, and see their new place. It was fun and nice to hang out for the day. It's not always easy to find good times to get together because they have two kiddos and are always up to fun actvities and we have always been doing school things. We just hung around at their home for a while, went for a walk around their neighborhood and checked out one of the playgrounds. We didn't stay long at the play ground because some little punks were talking about gang banggers...those weirdos. Then we went back to their place and had pizza for dinner soon after. We played around with the kids for a while. They seem to always enjoy having us around. It's pretty great to know we have made such an impression on them. :) Then the kids went to bed and we just chatted for a bit and went home.
Oh, and one last pretty exciting thing that has happened recently. Robbie graduated from college. He won't start work until next Tuesday. But it's pretty exciting. I'm excited for him, he is going to do great things things as an engineer. :)

We got some beer chips and beer/whiskey cheese, and a few other things that were pretty tastey. And of course we each had a few beers. The next day we headed to Kalamazoo to visit some good friends of ours, and see their new place. It was fun and nice to hang out for the day. It's not always easy to find good times to get together because they have two kiddos and are always up to fun actvities and we have always been doing school things. We just hung around at their home for a while, went for a walk around their neighborhood and checked out one of the playgrounds. We didn't stay long at the play ground because some little punks were talking about gang banggers...those weirdos. Then we went back to their place and had pizza for dinner soon after. We played around with the kids for a while. They seem to always enjoy having us around. It's pretty great to know we have made such an impression on them. :) Then the kids went to bed and we just chatted for a bit and went home.
Oh, and one last pretty exciting thing that has happened recently. Robbie graduated from college. He won't start work until next Tuesday. But it's pretty exciting. I'm excited for him, he is going to do great things things as an engineer. :)
