One Hour of Sleep

So, talk about your 'worst day evers.' At least it ended decently. This was one for the books. Well, if you read my last post you'll know I was up late (or early depending on how you look at it). I ended up falling asleep sometime between 6:30-7am, I don't remember. At about 8:05 am, my cell phone rang, and it was my work. I was scheduled to open last minute, and although I did receive a general e-mail announcing there were schedule changes, for some reason I thought it was a different schedule, or that it didn't apply to me. So, in that respect, this whole day was technically my own fault. Which somehow makes it worse I think; regardless, it still sucked. I quickly brushed my teeth, and threw some deodorant on, along with some scrubby looking clothes and walked to work in a record 12 minutes (takes me 20 minutes on a usual day) So now I have 1 strike against me already this semester. I know I've said before that I wanted to quit, but I really do mean it this time. I called my mom after my 45 minutes, and I didn't have class for another 3 hours, and she said I couldn't turn in my 2 weeks notice right away, but the thing is, I can't wait too long because they'll have to fill my shifts in with somebody else. It's not that I hate my job, but I'm getting so tired of it, and it's been almost 2 years. Plus, everyone always goes out almost every weekend, and I'm so sick of being guilt-tripped after I miss another drunken fest at somebodies house. I'm just over it. I was walking on thin ice last semester when I missed two stupid staff meetings. It turned out fine, but I just keep getting busier. Although the loss of my bi-weekly pay check will suck, what would suck more is if I would get fired. So I plan on putting on my best, and shiniest smile, and turning in my two week notice next week sometime and pretending that my "busy" class schedule is to blame; which is technically irrelevant.

During the 3 hour break I had, I trudged back home to shower. (Yes, trudged, we just had snow, and the sidewalks by my apartment are barely shoveled. Rarely does a shower feel as refreshing as this one did. So then back to school I went to attend a lecture for a class I may not be able to enroll in, and low and behold, my friend Justin is in the class. Honestly the class was originally meant to be a back-up class, in case I couldn't get into any others, but now I'll probably take it, as Justin and I have a history of having a rockin' time in Comm. Arts classes. It was nice to have a bright spot in the day.

Currently I am waiting for the one class I'm actually enrolled in, and planning on taking, to begin. The one problem with this class is that it is Intro to Political Science; a.k.a. one of the most common freshman classes at UW-Madison. As stated in my last post, I need this class to graduate next year. But wow, I was probably such a fool when I was a freshman here. However, I somehow managed to convince Kim to take this with me because she needs a poli sci course too. I imagine there will be a lot of snarky notes being written back and forth during class and I'm looking forward to it.

I am also looking forward to Heroes coming back tonight. Check out my Confessions of a TV Addict blog for my analysis. I'm crossing my fingers for more than an hour of sleep tonight.

Hi Angie, This is my first that That I have come across your blog and your camstreams, I am enjoying it!
I too have a web-site;

Some-times people ask me why I have a cam-site, I love reality programmes and people watching, and just watching normal every-day stuff and if no-one participated on the web, there would be no internet, because with-out any information etc, we have nothing.
