Yeah! Woohoo!

Well today was a beautiful day! And with beautiful days come blog inspiration, so here I am blogosphere! Today's blog comes to you in two parts, and an unrelated p.s. =]

Part I: My Job!
So I am currently home from college half a semester sooner than I should be. Why? Because I have a really great opportunity! My major requires us to do a 5 month internship our freshman year. So when the rest of the college returns from Spring Break, we start working! I am back where I was last summer, Northeast Nursery. It's good to be back there with familiar faces and it's nice to be in a hard day's work, Monday through Friday, 8 am until 4 pm. The thing I love most about my job is the encouragement I almost always receive from my bosses. I have 3 people who are my supervisors, and every day before I leave they each thank me for my hard work and tell me I did a good job. This really makes it a great experience. They ask me what I want out of my experience working for them and take what I have to say into consideration, and they always teach me things every chance they get. I really respect how dedicated they are to helping out their employees and their leadership skills are some that I look to incorporate into my own style of leading in order to be an effective role model. I think more employers could benefit from forming these kinds of relationships with their employees. It just makes coming into work every day a bit more pleasant, and I know I personally put in the extra effort knowing it doesn't unnoticed. Apart from that, my job is great because I get to work outside all day! Days like Monday and Tuesday are certainly no easy task when we get enough rain to flood the entire area bad enough to call in National Guard support, but beautiful warm bright sunny days like today make it ALL worthwhile!

Part II: The 30 Day Challenge!
I thought this up today while moving grasses because... well... when you're doing a project like moving grass it's hard not to let your mind wander just a little bit. Anyways... I am hereby setting a challenge for myself! This challenge is to help me get in shape, but I would assume you can alter the details a little to help any aspect of your life. My challenge is for the month of April, (hence 30 day challenge), I am going to do push ups, crunches, and reverse crunches every day starting today. I will start today with 15 of each, and increase by 1 every other day. Which means on Saturday I will do 16 of each, Monday 17, and so on until April 30th. By the end of this, I hope to be seeing some progress, and hopefully by then it will be such a habit I will be able to continue doing this kind of routine to stay in good shape. So wish me luck, and keep me motivated!

Unrelated p.s.!
I am interested in applying for Ag. Ambassador. Don't know enough about the program to decide just yet, but it is something I am looking in to. I e-mailed someone today about receiving more information, and hopefully soon I will know. Anyone reading have an opinion on this they'd like to share? I'd appreciate it. =]

Until next we meet,
Respectfully,
me
