Today as I post this will be a busy fun day. But I will be tired! More about that next week. On with the show. One more of these for August and then BOOM we in September! And Summer is nearly gone. Wow sad!
1. Workouts not really this week at all. I waned to try something before school few times this week. It just didn't happen. I was going on very little sleep all the days I went and the two I could have was less sleep then wanted without getting up earlier for a walk even. On Friday I did a small walk and bike and that was all. Big race this coming Sunday that I am ZERO prepared for. I am glad that its not the 15K and I am not sick with a bad sinus infection that thing was nasty. PLEASE don't come back next Spring! So 4 miles and I am walking the whole thing. I wanted to bring my dog it is allowed but sadly the race has a shuttle that takes you from finish line to start line that does NOT allow dogs! Boo!
2. Weather this week is behaving oh so Summer like. Its Summer still and we had a nice heat wave going on most days this week. I know cause I was OUT in the heat for school. Every day. I live close to the beach so on Tuesday & Thursday when school was earlier we left when it was overcast and cloudy but not cold. And then got to San Marcos where school is and there was the sun. It never left our side. Cooler this weekend is nice but since I am not in school and not working that much yeah. Back to heat again next week thanks a lot LOL.
3. The 17th I remembered the date took me a second to figure out why. It finally came to me. It marked 11 years since I got hired on at The Lego Store in downtown Disney. I loved that job. And it loved me. By far one of my favorite jobs ever. I mean I loved working at LEGOLAND till they kinda booted me out with their hate. And B&N was great as was Borders. But the thing with Lego was the managers all loved me, I had nearly zero issues ever with anyone, I had great discounts, free entry to both California Adventure & Disneyland, fantastic co-workers, I fell in love with legos like never before and still have so many things I bought there. The list goes on and on. They were so sad when I left Robert nearly cried, I got a cake and flowers. Things I have never had from a job I left on my own that didn't leave me. Which is rare. I stay at jobs long enough but most I either lose or I go on terms not my own. This was sad. The thing is it was supposed to be temporary and I tried for a while to get out. The hours were okay but sometimes conflicting and we were open all the time so I had to work holidays. These things I hated. I wanted a job for my degree and I think if I had never HAD to move to Oceanside when grandma died in May 2006 I might still be there. And the store went to pot when I left bad stuff happened, many of the managers were fired, someone new took over and not one co-worker I had back then stayed much longer. All were gone within a year or two. I am friends with a few on fb I know these things! But yeah I was hired on the spot, my boss loved me and never even gave me a 2nd interview he liked me THAT much. That rarely happens!
4. Work this week not that much but more than the past 2 weeks. I worked on Sunday a nice long mid day of 8hrs. I was glad to be not closing but tired the whole time. I worked on Saturday a nice long 8 hour opening on a busy Saturday. And got to ride the Sprinter on the way home. This next week I work 4 count them 4 days and I am going to school too so this was be a really long week. But bring it on I need the hours! I am still waiting for unemployment to send me my first check. I sent in my first set of 2 weeks worth and I am unsure how long the first check takes. I need it badly actually so yes please oh please!
5. School I left this for last as its been a crazy crazy week! I went to school Monday by myself rode the Sprinter there and back. I had just my one class English10 and I feel dumb not only that I am taking this with so many kids straight from high school. But its the bottom English class and we are learning what nouns and verbs are and why cant I remember any of these? I graduated high school English has always been my favorite class. I had English classes in college. But 15 years later why cant I remember this stuff? I am a writer with bad grammar and cant spell half the stuff. So I need this class. I love English I will pass this and move on. My sister got tested in to the one above me so she is in English50 while I suffer in English10. On Tuesday I liked my first two classes. It wont be easy lots of work, homework and test. Plus running the TV SHOW that they run for my one class. And early early classes on Thursdays beginning in September no comment. I dropped my 3rd one because I am unsure why they combined the 4 levels of this same kind of class in ONE class. It freaked me out. Too much. I had too much on my plate so I dropped that. Glad I had no book for that class yeah about that. So now I have just 2 classes on Tuesday & Thursdays. We dropped (meaning me and my sister) our math15 class after the meeting it was online the teacher is a bit nuts and frankly I think its better done in person. Will try again in the Spring. Wednesday repeat like Monday. So Thursday I had just 2 classes and that was nice. I tried to add another 2 online but only got one added. So I have dropped from 19units to 16units. I have 2 that wont begin till October around time my 1 for MiraCosta starts. Speaking of MCC I begin my 2 online classes with them on Monday so I will be busy really much all the time. I am glad I had no school and no work today as of tomorrow I will be non stop till Sunday and who knows past that (will know tomorrow). Yeah anyways.
Well that concludes week one of school. Just 15 to go! I wanted this but still its a lot. I need to go to bed earlier, but still make time for reading books and having fun. I cant be just working and school like I have been doing. I just need to recall all this is for getting experience, and fun and not so serious. I have a BA degree. I wont die if I don't get to keep doing this or if I don't do super great in my classes. So there you go. Perspective I had some this week! Till next weekend see you. Have a nice last full week of August!
