Harris Teeter

As many of you know I work at Harris Teeter. I have for almost a full year now. If you don't live in North Carolina you may not be familiar with Harris Teeter or the Teet as I call it sometimes  but it is a grocery store. 

So I am not sure about you but I have  a favorite moment from work. Mine took place about three or four weeks ago now. So let me set the stage for you.

It was about six or seven PM on a friday and I was chillin at the front end bagging groceries. I was on the far register with Cameron, A local high school kid. We were doing work like always and than this old man comes up to and yells "do you have any cabbage"

I thought well sir you did just walk into a grocery store what do you think but noticed he had hearing aids in and grey hair so I played along and replied "I believe we do would you like me to help you find some"

"no thats alright" the man promptly screamed back and walked off in the direction of produce. Now I a good ten to twenty minutes pass and at this point I have completely forgotten about the old man when he comes to check out at our register. He asks cameron if that is in fact a cabbage and it is and he is rung up and I bag the item. 

Now the whole time the man is paying his mumbling jibberish to himself and I have no idea what is going on. He finally pays and picks up his bag and looks me right in the eye. I thought he would say something like good night, or have a good one but he yells "ARE YOU GETTING ANY PUSSY TONIGHT!?!!??!??!?!"

WHAT, what a ridiculous question to ask the guy who just bagged your groceries. How do you even answer that? well I could think of only one good answer and it was "yes sir, yes I am." I thought this answer would satisfy him and he would leave but it did not.

The man replies "YOU LISTEN HERE SONNY, YOU GIVE IT TO HER GOOD, GIVE IT TO HER SO SHE WALKS FUNNY!" I nodded and said "just for you sir."After creating quite the scene the man left. 

I thought this night was as good as it was going to get until tonight. The man returned and I had the exact same conversation with him. YEY For memory loss. 

So I know this is about 3 months late

I never really set any new years goals. There are a few things I want to do this year. If you know me well you will know that I am kinda a lazy person. I love having a good time but never really a great student or anything. I have never really finished a new years resolution before so maybe if I make them in March I will have a better shot.

Alright so here are the goals.

1. Stop drinking soda

2. Start working out every day (I want to get buff)

3. Get better grades (3.0-3.5 at least)

4. Run a marathon

So yeah not any thing to crazy or out there. I do have a plan to reach them though. So lets start with the first one. I stopped drinking soda 2 weeks before lent so this makes week 3. Soda is what I gave up for lent but I will hopefully keep it up for the rest of the year.

Working out is something I started over winter break and was much easier at home but now in wilmington it was put in the back burner. I am going to colorado in two days. But when I return I will start going to the gym in cary and than hit the gym in Wilmington hopefully every day when returning here. I don't have classes tuesday or thursday so I can hit it in the morning when it is empty and MWF it should be easy to do after my 2 PM if I don't work or when I get off work. So getting back in shape and getting buff is something I plan on doing

My grades last semester were not.. great. I had a 2.46 and That was not something I want to repeat. I have been going to the library a good amount but I have found myself in the fisher student center for 4 hours a night the last 4 nights with some good friends. It seems to be a pretty good way to study. I get good work done and get to hang out with Jesse, Caleb, Chelsey, Daniel, and David. So I think Fisher is going to be my new study spot at night.

My last goal is to run a marathon this year. I have already done a few long runs this year. Some up to 17 and 18 miles. I want to get into even better shape and run a marathon in the fall. My working out and not drinking soda goals will help build into this. I won't work this one too much right now but in the summer I will start building runs into my lifting days. medium runs on upper body days and long runs/running work outs on lower body days

SO there are my goals and how I plan on reaching them. Now just got to start working on them. Hopefully I can pull it off this year.
