a day at the gym...

let's be honest...

i know about 3 words in the spanish language.

ALMOST bi-lingual right?! haha

Well.. I work at Gold's gym... and I have a feeling I will have a few stories from work to blog about because I am quite entertained sometimes. I've met quite a variety of people since I've worked there.

such as:

-the old gray couple who show up at 6am faithfully every morning to keep their wrinkles intact.

-the senior missionaries ladies who come for a swim and then put their badges back on to go to work.

-the college 'hot heads' who have muscles the size of basketballs and think they own the place. (which I wouldn't doubt it because they are there for HOURS)

-the 'business men' comin in with their tie after a long day of work to whip out a game of raquetball.

-the mexican girls who were born white but the tanning beds changed their race.

-the fat people wanting to change their life (which really.. i love when they come in! they're the bravest of us all)

Well... this lady came in and when i scanned her card the computer read STOP. Well, I was busy with lost of people so I let her go for a little and then went to chase her down. She could only speak spanish (this is where my talent of other languages comes in) So I stop her and try to explain that we need to talk to her for just a second at the front desk. my words started to get more simple because english was hard for her to understand as well. "One minute... up there!" she still just looked at me SO confused. So FINALLY i whip out 2 words I knew in spanish.

"Uno.. momento!"

and pointed at the front desk.

haha k.. I kid you not. the LOOK on her face was this HUGE sigh of relief and she just started speaking 100 miles per hour thinking I spoke spanish! haha I don't blame her because I'm sure my accent sounded legit since i've had YEARS of practice... but I probably gave her the same look she gave me when I was speaking english! haha the 2 of us couldn't function. So i grabbed someone to speak to her, but it cracked me up! poor lady just wanted to speak her native language and my vocabulary only tricked her!


Other than working at Gold's gym, I just moved in with some really fun roommates, I'm really enjoying school, and loving life! Change has been the best thing for me lately!
