Just another Monday...

So here I am, sitting at Caribou with a smoothie (even though it feels about -11 out!) trying to get some homework done. Caribou is definitely my favorite place to go to read, relax, or do homework. When I'm here I can't do other things like clean, make food, watch TV, etc. I have to do homework. I even put my cell phone on silent sometimes when I'm here (gasp!).
I was going to try to go into work tonight and try to pick up a shift since I only work Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays right now. My night classes keep me from spending all my free nights at work like I did last semester. I honestly HATE not working. I would work every night if I could because when I'm not at work, I think about the money I am not making and the money I am actually losing. Being a server, the best shifts are at night so that's where I spend my nights and most of my weekends. I barely get sleep on the weekends actually and when Friday roles around it is not like the end of the week but instead the beginning of my work week. During the week I spend my free time doing homework because I know I won't get any done on the weekend. It's a never ending cycle!
I actually have a love-hate relationship with my job. I love the money and even most of the people I work with, but at the end of the night I am so drained from dealing with so many people that I just want to hole up and not talk to anyone. People can be very rude and hard to deal with as well which is draining. I can't say what I really think and instead have to put a smile on and let them have what they want and say what they want. Most the time I can just forget about it but other times it just changes my mood for the entire night. The one thing that makes everything better is spending time with the other servers after work, laughing and comparing stories. Then my night doesn't seem so bad.
Well back to homework for the rest of the night. I have to make a science lesson, write a paper on why daily physical education is important for elementary schools, do an article report dealing with social studies, and make up a chant for teaching music. Fun night!
Tomorrow night I am actually going out for my friend's bday from work. Should be fun and I should have some good stories from it! Good night everyone :)
