Man. So much has happened since I last posted.
1- I bought my own phone, and I finally have a bill to start paying. It's a pretty shitty non-smart phone, but right now I don't really need anything fancy.
2- I opened my own personal bank account. Most people my age have already had one open for AGES, but up until now I didn't really have the need for one.
3- I manned up and bought myself a pair of Nike's to aid in my running. Gosh. There is a HUGE difference between cheap trainers and those of the more serious brand. Again, I never really had the need for them because prior to this whole Air Force business I've never really been sporty. Running is still a bit difficult for me, but since I run 1.5 miles 6 days a week it has gotten a little easier. Hopefully by the time I leave for basic training I'll be somewhat in shape. I'm getting a gym membership soon, so that should help as well. I seriously regret not being sporty during high school. All of this physical activity is kicking my ass.
4- I finally opened my Etsy shop! It took me longer than expected, and not all of my art is uploaded, but I got it up by June, just like I promised. I have been busy literally every single day since school has been out, so I really need to step up my game and finish more art so that I can list it. Anyways, you can visit my Etsy shop here!
Also, I'm finding myself in a bit of a predicament. I've been meeting with my AF recruiter and we were talking about jobs that I can enter into and he keeps on pushing mechanical jobs. Not that I think I'm above certain jobs or anything, but my highest score in the placement test was administration. Mechanical was one of my lower scores. I understand that he has a quota to fill and whatnot, but it doesn't really make sense to force me into something that I didn't score so high in.
I don't know. After this past experience with my parents I know better than to let someone talk me into something that I don't feel 100% about.
This whole "growing up" business is tedious.
As you know, I'm not exactly a Doctor Who or Sherlock fan (but I have a hard time being passionate about any fandom, really, so don't take it personally), yet I really admire your artwork and have now shared the etsy link with a friend of mine who might consider purchasing one.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for running 1.5 miles six days a week! You're gonna be awesomely fit. I really, really, need to get in shape.
I'm not sure what to think of the AF recruiter. He may or may not have your best interest at heart, I don't know.
I like your art, very nice!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on running 1.5 miles a day, 6 days out of the week. Getting in shape is no jokeee. I know :p lol.
ReplyDeleteNice tennis shoes are amazingly helpful when it comes to running! Even if you had been sporty, working out just tends to kick your ass in general.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't let the recruiter talk you into the mechanical fields. I highly distrust recruiters, because I don't think most of them are motivated by a concern for the person they're working with.
Keep on being super-responsible! You amaze me.
Queen Elizabeth was a mechanic for the British Air Force during WWII. I don't know if that's a piece of trivia or helpful information, but I'll put it out there just the same.
