So after I was wondering what to do next, I found out that there is P90X+. It's the program that is meant for people who have finished P90X and want to get even better results (or just maintain the results). I've been doing it for two weeks now, and I'm liking it. It's not as time-consuming. It may take an average of 45 minutes a day, 5-6 days a week, depending on if I take a break on the Yoga day or go for a run.
I've never been a truly active person, so this is sort of weird for me. But I really enjoy staying in shape, so I guess I'll be fine with it. :P

FRRREEEEDDOOOMM!
Today marked my last and final day as an undergraduate student at UT. I will graduate on May 8th with a 4.0! I'm 1 of 4 top graduates in the College of Business Administration! I can't believe I actually achieved that, but for some reason, I had an inkling that I would do it even before I started college.
My degree is: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
My major is: Marketing w/ a Dual Concentration in Logistics
My minor is: Spanish
I'm done! I accomplished all the goals that I set out to do before graduation, and I'm so excited that I did it.
On another note, I checked out the Sherwin-Williams job that I was sort of interested in. The one with the Management Training Program. Wel, I learned that it is not what I want to do, so I will tell the recruiter tomorrow.
On a lighter note, however, I received a call today from a recruiter with yet another technical recruiting company. This marks the third company in this industry that has reached out to me. The first two rejected me after the first interview. I'm guessing this isn't much better.
However, I got an email from the recruiter with Comcast in Knoxville. I applied for a job of "Associate Marketing Creative Services Professional." Basically, the job entails some graphic design, marketing strategy alignment, document write-ups, communications, etc. For a first job, this sounds amazing. I sent a stellar email back to her, answering her preliminary questions. I'm praying that she likes me and feels I have what it takes. I really want to interview for this position, and I hope that you will pray for me.
As William Wallace would say, "FRRRREEEEEDDDDOOOOOOM!"

P90X done. Now what?
Today marks the final day in my P90X program. It's been a long journey, 13 weeks to be exact, since I started this ultra fitness program. For those who don't know, it's an intense workout program designed to turn people who are somewhat fit into really fit people. This means I worked out 1 hour a day, 6 days a week. 3 days were weight training, 3 days were cardio-type workouts.
I started out doing the workouts religiously and eating, for the most part, pretty well. I would have meals here and there that weren't that great, but I still stuck to the eating plan really well. However, the more I started to see results, the more focused I got about eating right. After a while, I was really pushing myself during the workouts, and I began eating exactly like the plan told me to.
I was amazed of the progress after the first 30 days, but only until I kept going did I truly realize the results that I was getting. Days 60, and now, day 90, have really shown the progress of the sculpting of muscle and the trimming of fat that I have achieved from this program.
It did take me a little longer than 90 days to do this program because there were days when I couldn't do the workouts (like when I went skiing), and I didn't do it during Spring Break. But I did not skip a single workout, and I made sure to make them up and just continue where I left off the next day.
Here's a photo montage of my journey.
Day 0 (Before Starting P90X)
Day 30 (Phase 1 Complete)
Day 60 (Phase 2 Complete)
Day 90 (Phase 3 Complete; Entire Program Complete)
So, now I'm done. It took a lot of hard work and dedication, that's for sure. But I don't want to stop, and I'm not sure what the next step is. I'm very happy with the results, and I would like to get even better results. Maybe that means I need to keep doing it until I find another program I can do (one that is less time consuming) to maintain the results.

Weekend
So this weekend my dad is coming in town to visit me. Which is nice because he's coming here for once. Maybe we'll play some tennis if the weather keeps being nice.
On another note, I'm one presentation away on Monday from winding down the semester. I still have a few things to do here and there, but I'm so happy that it's almost over. Two weeks left!
I interviewed with Pepsi Bottling Group this past week, and I felt it went really well. But then they told me they weren't really hiring for the position they were saying they were, but hiring a "Customer Rep" for the local areas. I was so disappointed, and I lost a lot of respect for them after that.
On a lighter note, I have an interview with Sherwin-Williams next week for a sales/marketing position. I hope it doesn't turn into the same kind of thing :/

I Just Don't Know....
Now that finishing school is really inevitable, I'm at a loss of what I really wanna do from this point on. I know that I can get a job doing business stuff, but what if I wanted to do acting or graphic design or real estate? I just don't really know what I want to do anymore and it's frustrating me. I feel like all the jobs that seem to be hiring where I want to be are jobs that are dumb. Maybe I just haven't hit the right one yet. This degree better be put to some use, that's for sure. I don't want to settle for something dumb that I didn't need a degree for in the first place.
