Summer isn't supposed to be like this...
Summer isn't suppose to be like this... there should never be a week that you have to get less than a grand total of 30 hours of sleep, a week that you don't even see your friends outside of school, a week that you really wish would just be over, and a week that you just feel exhausted after, not because you've had too much to drink or partying. I can't believe I'm awake right now. After having 2 midterms for physics and microbio, I thought it was gonna be an early 4 day weekend due to going to training for being a checker at QFC. (Just got rehired by them, took them long enough) But like other things this summer, I was wrong again.
The training session is held from friggin 7am - 3pm and is all the way out in Renton. Ok, so initially, Renton isn't that bad of a drive from MI right? NOT AT 630 in the morning and middle of the afternoon..... I've never seen that much traffic on I-5 when I'm going to school!! I knew a lot of Boeing people went to work, and others go up to Seattle, but it was almost stop and go the entire time! So after I get to Renton, I follow the directions as mapquest tells me, but low and behold... they were wrong. u_u;; The stupid directions told me to turn left on a N 3rd street after "going straight" on one street when it was supposed to be, turn at the first left onto NE 3rd. Yeah, I'm really bitter because not only was I late 20 minutes, but I also had to sit in more stop and go traffic after I found out I had gone too far and QFC was obviously nowhere to be found. So after I get off at 3pm, I'm tired already, but there's physics hw that I haven't the slightest clue to work waiting for me because I had to skip lecture... I knew I wouldn't have time to do it today since I would have another 8 hours of training, so I tried to do as much as possible yesterday. Ended up costing me more sleep and I didn't even finish it all. So I wake up the next bloody morning at 6am and start to head out, confident because I knew exactly how to get there today. Guess what, my car died on the on-ramp to I-90 east. I didn't even have a "running-chance." (Better to have died on the on-ramp than on the actual freeway though, Thank God) Ended up being late again, came home tired again, worked on physics again. Thanking my lucky stars again, my friend Deb managed to help me with the problem and I finished the hw. You're a life-saver Deb!!! I owe you one. And here I sit now, just kinda wishing everything would miraculously change for the better, but I'm know I'm gonna have to wake up early yet again tomorrow to get my bloody Food Handler's Card renewed since they only last 2 years...
Hrmm, all the hassle that I've gone through to just get my job back and work as a checker, so far seems very... how should I put this. I kinda feel like, why should I go through so much trouble to be a checker if I know I won't even keep this job for a year? I know my main goal of working again was to make money so that I could move out next year, but with all the delays and things in the way, I don't actually start until next week... It's already been 5 weeks into summer!! That's a few hundred dollars that I could have made! =/ *sigh* I dunno, I'm just getting restless and grouchy right now after this week. I need sleep some and find some relaxation time. I need to also not let work take over my life. I knew I'd get hired by QFC b/c they are in dire need of help, but they are also trying to milk everything out of me by scheduling me hella hours. No way I can handle 13 credits and near 30 hours of work. I'm done for now. Time to go release some stress in basketball.
