Got Paid!! ...and spent it right away

I got my first paycheck yesterday at work!! It may not be a big deal to those who've been working for a while now, but it was exciting for me because this is my first job. LOL this is the first job I've had in all my 19 years of existence. Shameful, I know. But it's better late than never! Work experience is always good. It definitely builds character and teaches you the value of a dollar, as they say. I'm still considering whether I should keep working at the restaurant even when school starts again... That would mean having to commute 2+ hours back home just to work for 2 days then commute all the way back to school where I dorm. Doesn't sound too horrible since I'll be earning money anyway. It all depends on my schedule next semester. Ah well, I'll leave it to God.

Not that my paycheck is much to rave about. In fact, even before I got my paycheck I already spent the majority of it. I bought new glasses this week because my old ones were scratched up pretty bad and I need to do an eye exam so it was worth it. They have a wider lens and I really like the shape:

Work today went pretty well. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be at the restaurant, so that makes me happy. The best part is that I get to take home an employee meal of my choice. I'm so lucky that the food here is amazing. The only problem is that it's pretty fattening. What would you expect from Japanese comfort foods? I think from now on I'll try ordering salads for my take-home meal instead of the heavy entrees. OMG and I have to stop craving sweets... It's really costing me (health and money-wise). I mean, what a waste of time spent at the gym if I'm just gonna pig out on a high-carb dinner and a sugary dessert?! I need to work on that... My weight right now is higher than I want it to be, so i really have to be careful with what I eat and I need to make sure I exercise daily.

Anyways, enough with that crap. Just wanted to write a bit for today. Til next time!
