Work/School/Work

I'm really tired and I think it is because I've been working quite a lot this week. My Starbucks schedule keeps me up until at 10:30 to eleven on nights that I work and often up the next morning by 7 to go and work for Mr. Dutton. I like having all the work but I think Mom would be a little happier if I spent more time and energy on my school work.

Breaking Ground

I am no longer able to handle the infinitesimally small minds of junior-highers. I spent my entire afternoon running concessions at the volleyball and basketball games for out teams. I spent my entire time behind that table working and didn't really get a chance to see any of the games. I was ready to be out of their when we finally left. The only redeeming factor was pouring water over the stairs on unsuspecting vitctims. I work tomorrow at Church and then at Starbucks on Saturday. I found out today that I can't schedule a drivers test until March 6th.

Brilliance

The weather has recently been very cold but last night the sky cleared and today the sun is out reminding us that it will be returning soon. The clear blue sky looks cold as the crisp sunlight pierces through the trees and windows finally casting shadows everywhere it cannot reach.

Closing Down

Things were pretty slow last night at Starbucks. I began closing the Cafe while we were still serving customers and by the end of the night I was basically standing around because everything had already been done. At nine o'clock I told the last two people that were in there that we would be closing in ten minutes. After locking the doors we finished up the last things that we couldn't do when there were still people in the store. After we did the final lock up I ran over to the bank across the street to deposit a check. I waited just a few minutes before being picked up by Mom. I look forward to working again on Thursday.

Progress, Congress, And Regress

On Tuesday I took a US History I CLEP test and passed with a 65. Today I found out that I have been scheduled to take the US History II test later this month. I just started studying today but the book is short and I read through the US History textbook this past semester. More and more lately I feel as if I am actually going to Mongolia this year after I graduate before I attend Bobby J School. I have a meeting with Pastor tomorrow at 12:15.

I work today from 3 until close and I'm really excited. I can't wait to go to work but I have the feeling that it's going to be a long shift. This will be my first time closing so I will have a lot to learn.

Hourly/Daily/Monthly

So far this year I have been snowboarding once, I've worked at Starbucks, I've taken and passed a CLEP test, I've started a diet, written thank yous, played football, watched football, eaten out with my senior class, stayed over at Kevin's, and so much more and it's only the 9th. I am really looking forward to what is in store for me the rest of my senior year.

Too Much To Write About

It seems that the presence of so many things to write about always goes hand in hand with it never getting written. Just by the nature of things when so many things are happening, one gets too busy to write about them. We all had a great Christmas at our Grandparent's this year. When we got back, I started work at my new job: Starbucks. Partying last night until 12:30 for New Years was fun and then this morning we played tackle football for the New Year's Day Bowl. I didn't win but I had a lot of fun. I had one recieving TD, one interception, three touchdown passes, and I threw two interceptions. I also got to tackle Kevin. Anyway, I work today, and since it's a holiday I think I get paid extra. Happy New Year.
