Survived my presentation!
I did my presentation and survived it. When I was done the teacher said that he couldn't tell that I was nervous. It went over well and I got everything across that I needed to. Soon I will have the link and the people that I send the link to will be able to view it!
Presentation Day!
Woke up early today and had a shower. I put on my Oscar the Grouch shirt that says "litter makes me bitter" to ad that extra touch to my presentation. I'm as ready as I'll ever be and I'm sure that it really won't be that bad anyhow. Class starts at 10:30 so I still have another half hour to prep and stress...
We are being recorder for class and it's being used as a part of my initiative project so there fore it is being routed through YouTube. We had the choice of A-having it just used for out project, B- having it be on YouTube but only the people with the link can view it, or C-having it be public on the web. I'm not ready to be a star on Youtube so I opted for having the people with the link be able to view it.
I'll put it up after class, that way you can give me feedback and let me know what you think!

I forgot to say...
A manager from a hotel phoned me and offered me a Front Desk position at his place of employment. I'm really excited and have an interview tomorrow. I want to see what happens and how other hotel/motel managers view my resume, knowledge and skills! I'm just testing the waters with the interview. I want to be in the know and see: how much are other places paying, what does the job intale and most of all how easy I would get hired.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love where I work.
BUT,
Honestly I want to be worked equally and payed what I'm worth.
Where I am now I do everything you can think of and make the same wage as someone who has been here a week. I would think that working for an employer for over 6 months would matter.
The one thing that I would make sure of it I owned a business was that they recycled, and that they treated every employee equally. When employee's get treated different and have the same job title but not the same duties it startes to make one start to question there management and also begin to look for another job.
That my rant for today. Big day tomorrow in English, I'm doing my "Recycling 101" project!!
Hope I break a leg!

Another Day
Woke up this morning worrying about the Oral Presentaion that I was supposed to do today in English class on Recycling 101. Got upto the university as fast as I could so that I could finish tweeking my project. In the end when class started I was happy with the material I had and realized from the list of names that I didn't have to present until 8 or 9th spot. Out of 12. That made me relax a little more and after the presentations started rolling we ended up having to push three presentations until tomorrow.
Mine included.
So I have another day to perfect it even more and see if I can't add anything that will seperate it from the bunch!
Switching gears now,
Also I've talked in previous blogs about how I'm recycling at work...
And I would have to say that overall I'm not very happy with the amout of help I'm getting from the employee's here. I understand that it oviousally isn't something that any of them desire to do but I thought because I asked that maybe they would try a little. Well everyday when I come to work I try to be open minded and not negative but as soon as I look in the waste basket under the office desk the first thing I notice is the paper that has been thrown out. I mean how much easier can I make it for them, the recycling container is right beside the garbage, all they have to do it throw it to the right instead of the left...
The situation fustrates me but it's my project and I will continue to do it myself. The satisfaction of even making the tiniest indent makes me want to keep going.
My presentaion is tomorrow as soon as I get to class. There is one person before me, and then I'm up! I'm kinda nervious but at the same time excited to get my recycling issue across. Hopefully I'll create the urge for even one or two students to make a small change in what they throw out.

HELP
I work a 40 hr week and it seems to be making me think a great deal of do I want to remain working for this employeer at this job. I have been working here since the beginning of Feburary and from then to now I am dealing with my daily load being more than I can handle for example my current duties include:
1. Front Desk
2. Billing
3. Sales
4. Bookkeeping
5. Housekeeping
6. Yard Maintance
7. Laundry
All of which are my duties and ONLY my duties. It seems I am the one having to carry the load of this whole motel on my sholders, including the worry and wear and tare. Along with all of these duties comes the responsibality of the entire motel falling again on my sholders. And I honestly dont know what I'm supposed to do to change the situation? I'm being over worked and honestly under paid.

What a Day!
Went onto the Moodle website and looked at my mark for my first assignment "Bad News Letter" and realized that i got 72% for my final grade! That is amazing for me as usually I just pass English with a C-. This class is showing me that i am capable of working hard and there for recieving great marks. I haven't gone to registrations yet to try and change over all of my September classes to the ones that I want. Hopefully everything will work out for the best.
I have started my initative project for English as well, I'm starting a recycling project at my work and hope that with one small change I will be creating a small imprint on the earth. I still have to go over the proposal with my boss but considering that I'm doing it all and for free.. How can he say no?
I'll be showing him my proposal today so I'll be writing back soon to let you all know his response.
Wish me luck!

What A Crazy Week
I signed up for the Accounting Tech program and got accepted. It begins Sept 2011, this up and coming September. The one thing that I DIDN'T know about this program is that the Registrars office picks your classes. AAAHHHHHH
I have been going along having all of my dots lined up to a tee and then this is the first bump in the road.
I phoned and talked with the right person and hopefully I'll be able to work my classes so that I can still have a personal life and work part-time all at the same time! I really wouldn't mind someone else picking me classes if they we set up so that I went from8:30 a.m. until sometime in the afternoon. But the way its set up now I'm all over the board and someday's don't start until 11:30a.m.
Plus,
That was my reason for summer classes, to knock off 2 out of my 5 for fall.
So as of right now I'm a little upset but I'm hoping that by the end of this week everything will be sorted out.
