A new job!! A stable, full-time (or close to it, anyways - 4-5 days per week) job! It's a sign of the economy, I suppose (or of my idiotic choice in major) that a University of Washington graduate is working two restaurant jobs while in posession of a Bachelor's degree, but I will definitely take it! It's been difficult and frustrating not having a stable job (except my 10 hour a week job at the Tavern) - it's hard to save money, or pay rent, not knowing whether your hours will be cut or your job will disappear.
The job is a waitress/counter job at Sal's Deli in Burien - it's a lot smaller than the Tavern so it shouldn't be too difficult to pick up. I have enjoyed working in the Tavern and working with people, so hopefully it will be more of the same. The commute is nice and short, the people seem nice and pretty laid-back, and the pay/tips are good. It's only open 7 AM to 4 PM, which means no evenings/nights - definite bonus. I am curious/hopeful as to how flexible they will be with the schedule, but right now I am just pleased to have something steady! My first day will be tomorrow, 9 AM to 4 PM.
As far as school goes, I am filling out the FAFSA this week, figuring out what classes I need to take, and hopefully meeting with financial aid advisors soon. Also studying up on my math/algebra - I want to do really well on the math placement test so I can test out of (or at least into!) the math classes that I need.
Exercise/diet-wise, I have been ok this past week, but not terrific (yet). I have a few good runs over the weekend, some good strength training, and a great hike yesterday. Definitely the strongest I've felt on the trails so far this winter!
My plan for the rest of this week is a strength training (abs/arms) session today, a run and some yoga tomorrow, a run and strength training (abs/arms/legs) on Friday, a short tempo run on Saturday, and a long run of 8-10 miles on Sunday.
