Updates

It seems that I open every blog with "I know it has been a while since I have posted anything...."


Oh well.

Work has been good - I think I have passed over the hump and become a decent barista. I still need practice on the bar, but other than that, I should be good. This next week will be the last time that I have to open so much - I will be going to school schedule on the 7th.

Spent time last week working on school planning. When I signed up for school, I originally listed Fall because I thought that I was going to go to TCC. I went and advised (poor lady - she kept asking me what I wanted to do with my life; all I could say was I dunno). Anyhow - she told me to talk to some professors. After doing so, i decided to take Summer 2. That messed my whole registration up, but oh well.

I met with the Philosophy advisor last week - nice chap. I look forward to taking some Phil classes. Not 100% sure if I want to major in it, but it was a step in the right direction. I am thrilled about going back to school full time.

I also discovered that I am going to have to take 6 more hours of Spanish. Yuck yuck yuck. I like languages - but its been years since I have taken Spanish - I'll be rusty. Oh well.

I think that I am going to California in August for Training Camp. I will be 21 and at the beach too. All right.

I am excited about football - I can feel the season getting closer. WOOOHOOO!!!

Boredboredbroed

Woke up @ 7:30 this AM and went to work. Work was OK - I survived and not too busy. Hear manager make a comment while I was gone that if he were promoted, only one person would be let go. I think that it ight me me...oh well. No huge loss.

I am finding that I have too many hours. If I wanted to work 35+ hours a week, I woulda stayed at GB and made lots more money. This is crazy. I need to get back into school. My clock is definitely running out. I need to figure out what I can stomach doing for my life...what intrigues me, what do I enjoy and what can I make a survivable amount of money doing?

What a brat I can be - expecting to be able to do what I love...and making a good living. I may be screwed.

Needta catch up on reading - haven't read this summer. I think it may be lack of motivation, coupled with this terrible feeling of readjusting to an out of whack schedule I have with starbucks. Open some mornings, close some mornings, 4 hour shifts and 8 hour shifts. Consistency would be nice.

Finally got to hang out with Cole tonight, though we both tired and he has to work tomorrow @ 7. That's crazy.

I don't enjoy that we work 5 days a week. I also never get consecutive days off. I am losing my faith in this job. I want to enjoy it, but there are barriers. I fear that my laid back , f it all attitude doesn't fit. A bit more high paced there. Hope it works out.

I wish other people were awake at this hour - not to hang out with - I just like talking to people at this time. Like in a chat or something. I wish in the evenings I could go to a nice hang out and be undisturbed, or have conversation I enjoy. The club would be nice, but noone to join. Pity.

This has cured some boredom - perhaps I shall go read.
