I'd really update more... if I wasn't running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
Life has been stressful to say the least. Two classes over the summer may have been a mistake and my gpa will plummet because of it. Thermo I'm doing alright in, Mechanics of Materials...not so much. Hopefully I did better on this last exam, but I'm not holding my breath. I really NEED to study more for this class but finding time has been a hassle. Between work and school I'm pretty much working the equivalent of two full-time jobs (this includes the 4+ hours of homework per day for each class), but I don't want to not see my friends so I've been trying to see them too. And of course I've been going to Ben's every Friday to see him, and sometimes he goes to Golden to see me.
Last week, Wednesday to be exact, I started freaking out about just everything. I felt like I just failed my exam, I didn't understand the homework, everything going on with my family, not enough money for school next semester... it just made me snap and all I wanted to do was cry. Things are better now, but I'm still super-stressed out and I'm probably not going to do too much with anyone until I'm on my two week summer vacation.
Things at work are getting busier. At least at Pier One... If I had enough hours to work in the day I'm sure I could be hired on as a Sales Lead- but alas I only get about 22-25 hours per week which is 8-5 hours below the minimum for the position. There have been a lot of people quitting so we were down to about...five sales associates and three managers. We just hired a girl named Lydia and it sounds like we'll hire someone else too. Hopefully we can get at least eight! Seriously. Almost all of us are working almost thirty hours each a week to make up for the lack of people and you can tell it wearing everyone down.
Metro Brokers is slow, but that's to be expected at this time. No one wants to move while their children are going off to college. Hopefully it'll pick up around September a bit. The pre-holiday stuff, you know. Move before you put out the tree and house-lights.
My mom talked to me this morning and apparently my parents want to take us to Mexico for Mine and Erik's birthdays. I talk about how I would like some fruity drink or a rum and coke: she shakes her head. Hey, you take me to Mexico when I'm legally of age in my own country, I'll have a damn alcoholic beverage. It's not like I'm going to drink 'til I'm drunk. Not that they know about it, but at parties I don't even do that- it's really just not my thing. Too bad she doesn't understand that. One drink every so often does not an alcoholic make.
On a completely different note:Angel, our dog of seven years, has a fast-growing cancer. She has a couple of weeks or so... We've been spoiling her quite a bit. Also got a puppy. We're not trying to have it take her place- no other dog will be quite a sweet as Angel is- but it does dull the feeling of loss.
Living in the sorority has been pretty cool. Nice, fast internet that isn't named anything like cuntnugget, a dishwasher, cable, multiple nice places to study, and locking bathroom doors (and bedroom too, but I don't have my key...yet? yet I hope). It's been nice also having a washer and drier so I don't have to ship things to and from my parent's house.
Ugh, my body hurts.
Other than that, life is good.
Cheers
