Work is work, like always. I'm loving my job at Sundance, but it does make for a long weekend. And since I only work on weekends, it makes it feel longer. I'm realizing now how hard the graveyard shifts are and I am gaining a greater appreciation for those who do them. I find ways to entertain myself when no one is around. Of course, there are things that need to get done and I do those things when called upon to do them. But there's a lot of downtime. And by a lot, I mean A LOT of downtime. I'm finding it is usually a good time to read my chapters and catch up on homework I didn't do during the day. I've also used a good majority of the time to research jobs and careers, as well as rearrange my schedule a time or two (ok, so MANY times). I think I've settled in to the requirements that the job has and have created my own standard for what I need to do each night and how to get it done. Gotta make the job my own! Hopefully I can stay with this job for awhile. I'm tired of jumping from job to job!
School is going well. I've never been a fan of being in school during the summer. Luckily, I've never really had to go to summer school. Unless you count driver's ed. Now, talk about a hot classroom! Other than that, I've avoided any time of educational pursuit during the summer months until now. I only had one class which I had to attend in a classroom, which was nice. It was in the afternoon, which made for an uncomfortable classroom experience. Lucky for me and my classmates, we didn't have to sit too long. And, we had regular breaks where we could grab a drink to cool us off. And, it was an engaging class so it didn't lend too well to falling asleep. But that's a good thing! This week is the last week of class for the summer term. Glad I made it through it all! Now, I'm nervously anticipating the arrival of fall term. I've got another full school schedule planned. Should prove to be fun! I think I'll enjoy this semester quite a bit. It will be challenging, but it will be a fun challenge rather than a drudgery. Kinda shocked at the courses I've picked out for myself, but I sure will love the chance to excel at it!
Family life seems good. My immediate family is all over, causing chaos wherever we go. Don't actually hear too much from my sister Teri and brother BJ. They've kinda been keeping to themselves recently. Not that this is abnormal for my family. We're all kinda keep to ourselves and don't publicize things too often. My youngest two brothers seem to be doing well. One got in trouble with the law recently and now is paying for it. Luckily, he won't have to go to jail for any of it. It saddens me to see all of my younger siblings making stupid choices. Not that I haven't made my fair share of them, though. I see their mistakes and hope that I don't repeat them. They aren't as happy as they could be if they were to choose a better path. But it is their choice and I cannot force them down a path they do not want to go on. I just hope they change some things around soon! My extended family seems to be doing well. One of my cousin's husband just left for basic this past week. I know she's a bit anxious about it, having her husband so far away. I know she'll be able to handle it and their relationship will be stronger because of it! Not really much else to report on from the family otherwise...
Still as single as ever. I laugh about how often this is a topic of my blogs, but it is relevant to my current circumstances! Here's a list of potentials I'd consider dating: Christine, Nicki, Sarah, Amanda, Tiffany, along with a few others. I know, I know. People are going to ask me what I'm doing about any of them. Right now, I'm trying to get myself in order to be able to do something with at least one or two of them. However, it hasn't happened just yet. Time will tell if I'm successful at it! (Watch there be several people following this blog and try to figure out who each of the names listed above are...)
Overall, life is great! I can't complain about much at all! Some days I wish I could complain, but then I remember how great I've got it and how fortunate I really am! I really am blessed to be living the life I have! Sure, there could be things in my life that would make it better. But why focus on something I don't have while neglecting to appreciate what I do have! Gotta love life! It's great!
