My collection of squirrel pictures

     I don't know why or how I started to like Squirrels but I do. Here's a my small collection of squirrel photos. I originally intended to do a book review this week but I didn't finish the book in time. I'm reading Peeps by Scott Westerfeld and I have 100 pages left.

HG Mockingjay part 1 book/movie wrap-up

     I didn't read all three books in the Hunger Games series however I did read the last book titled Mockingjay. I read the last book because one Friday I decided to watch the first and second movie and it left me wanting to know what happened next so the next day I decided to spend all day reading the book. Needless to say it was phenomenal since I literally sat and read the whole book that day, only getting up to use the bathroom.
    Yesterday I went to the movies to see Ouija which was okay I'd give it 2.5 of 5 stars but anyways this isn't about that. I didn't plan on going to see HG Mockingjay because I don't like to see movies the day it come out because of crowds. After Ouija I saw Mockingjay because I was really excited and the person I was with thought it would be silly to wait since being that I was so excited.
     The movie added some details that weren't in the book like a back-story for characters and like all book-to-movie adaptations things were taken out. In this case the things that were taken out was small and didn't take away from the story being told. I think it was a pretty good adaptation for people like me who would like movie adaptations to be as close to the book as possible. For people who only watched the movie it may have seemed a bit unnecessary for it to have been broken up into two movies.
     While some people may not have liked part 1 because it did feel like watching a prologue and there wasn't as much action in it but I loved it. Being that I read the book I know part 2 is going to be a action packed, heart-breaking bowl of goodness.
     I give this movie and the book 5/5 stars.

Internship at Walgreens

     I passed the National Retail Federation test about two weeks ago. That means I now have a National Professional Certification in Customer Service. I was and still am very excited! As soon as the test was over I knew I passed because it told me right away. The week after that I started my internship at Walgreens. That means no more sitting in the classroom staring at walls! This internship is the second part of the customer service training I spoke about here and here. If you want more information about the OSY program then click here.

     Wednesday November 5th was my first day interning at Walgreens. My work schedule is Monday-Thursday from 10a.m. to 4p.m. On my first day the other intern and I stocked the shelves in the cosmetics aisle and helped customers. On our second day we were cleaning the shelves (wrong unfortunately) and I was able to help more customers without needing to get someone else to help me.
     This week I was stocking shelves. I can't remember which aisle I had Monday. On Tuesday I did price changes and stocked the food aisle. On Wednesday I stocked shelves in the medicine aisle. Lastly on Thursday I put together displays in the makeup aisle and then switched with the other intern and did price changes in the medicine aisle. All while helping customers find what they need.
     This coming week people from the OSY program will be stopping by to check on us. They will be see how we're handling ourselves and applying what we learned to our job. I think I've been doing well so I'm not too worried about it.
