oh my god i got it!!

this is the first blogpost written as an employee of panera bread company.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!!!!! (itll catch on..)
i got the job i got the job i got the job i got the jooooobb
my orientation is on friday and then i go through the orientation called "planet bread."
uhh yeah. its called planet bread.
planet BREAD.
basically PLANET PERFECT.
not only that, but the discount is just simply unreal. it IS...
(this is where you get on the edge of your seat, start furiously biting your nails and profusely sweat in anticipation)
SIXTY FIVE PERCENT OFF OF ALL PANERA PRODUCTS!!
start planning my funeral because i have died and gone to heaven.

im really excited about this new job for many reasons but honestly, what is so thrilling is that i was disgruntled at my old job and instead of sitting on my ass and whining and staying gruntled (not sure thats right..) i got up and actually did something about it! i changed my life for the better and im so freakin proud of me. GO ME!
i feel like this little girl

in other news, its time to crack out the eggs, butter and cocoa powder and whip out the cake-baking skills because its the marine corps birthday!! happy 235th birthday, best armed forces in the world! i believe jeremih wants to give you a little present.. (overexaggerated wink.)
but really, i love the marines. my poppy is a marine (notice the present tense verb. he always taught me, "once a marine, always a marine.) and im super excited because on friday, ill begin my volunteering with the veterans association hospital in oklahoma city.
GIVINGBACKTOTHOSEWHOSERVEDUSCHICKAWHAAAAAAT?!
when i told my poppy i was volunteering, he freaked out. its the same reaction he gave when i told him that im a declared history education major. im pretty sure hes happy that im becoming an exact replica of him. awesome. im becoming a randomly-singing, history-loving, over-eating, political veteran.
looks like im on the right track!

again, happy birthday marines. semper fi and oorah!!
watch this. it will help you understand the sacrifices these heroes make.

life is so good. it might not always be perfect, but damn is it good.
