I am exhausted.

It’s been about 2 weeks since I officially started my new job, though this week is my first FULL week since I was still working 2 jobs until last Tuesday. I get up every day at 5:30, leave my house by 6:30, and get home any time between 5:30-7. Somedays we end up staying a bit late, plus the drive home, and many days I have plans after work and don’t end up spending much time at home at all. There’s so many things I want to do site/design wise, and even just regular things like cleaning my room or baking a banana cake. But I don’t have time! And when I do have time, I’m just… exhausted. I would never be able to have a full time job that I didn’t love.
So far, I really like my job. The people I work with are all super nice and great and while it’s not ALWAYS super busy and I will sit there doing nothing (and by doing nothing I mean tumblr, google, checking e-mail, etc.) but I’m getting paid by the hour for it so… it’s not a big deal to me. And the days go by fast. Yesterday, I got paid to drive to wal-mart with my friend who also works there, and I get paid for my gas as well. So, not a bad deal if you ask me haha. The actual work I do have to do isn’t difficult either, and sometimes I get tasks that I actually really like since I’m a nerd. Things like organizing the list of truck stops and making it look pretty 
Other times, I just look up recipes I want to bake/cook and today I spent the majority of the day finding new fonts and inspiration for my portfolio design. But as soon as I get home, I just want to sleep. And that is probably exactly what I’ll do once I finish this post and then make my lunch (one less thing for me to do in the morning). At least I get weekends off, but it’s hard to cram everything I want to do into two days – especially when I also want to just sleep, relax and do nothing at all. And this weekend, I’m schedualed to work at my old job. The one that I already quit, and where my two weeks notice is up. I had already celebrated my last day, and without telling me they scheduled me again for this weekend. One of my (ex)co-workers told me by writing on my wall, and since I already quit I’m not going in. They didn’t call me to tell me, and at this point I don’t owe them anything. I’m assuming I’ll get a call at 8:05 saturday morning when I’m not there, but the other girls who ACTUALLY WORK THERE don’t show up and they don’t get in any shit at all.
Hopefully, at some point this summer, I can get my design portfolio up and fully running and perhaps a new layout for here as well. I’m glad I’m actually at least blogging here, even if I don’t know how often it will happen. Or even how much I will have to blog about. But, I will still try!

First year? Check.

As of last thursday, I am officially done my first year of college. I will get my marks back later this week but I’m pretty sure I did awesome in the majority of my classes *knocks on wood*. The only one I was iffy about was my spanish class, but I ended up getting 100% on the exam because it was the biggest derp exam of life.
Now that I’m done school, I’ve just been working. As of Wednesday, I have two jobs. One full time and one part time, though the part time will only be for another 2 weeks until my 2-week-notice kicks in. So this week I have 25+ hours at the full time job, and 30+ the part time one (seems very part time, eh?). Wednesday will be my first official day, starting at 8am and I’ll have to be at the grocery story for 4-8. And there’s about a half hour drive between the two so… should be a fun day!
I’m quite excited for my new job, because I’ll be working with one of my best friends! She’s been doing (paid) co-op there for the past 4 months, and has the next 4 months as well. It’s a soil/mulch company, and since it’s summer they need more help and asked her if she knew anyone that was looking for a full time job for the summer. I’ll be getting 50+ hours a week, and after 44 you get paid overtime. It’s a lot of just office work, calling customers to let them know when their trucks of dirt are coming (over 100 calls a day) but it’s still going to be better than my current job as a cashier. Even though my current boss is pissed that I’m leaving, and I was worrying about that, but I realized it’s not really my problem. I have worked there for almost 2 years, get paid minimum wage and they basically treat me as their slave. They are understaffed and always refused to hire more people, and we all get overworked because of it.
But considering it’s taken me almost a day to write this post, since I kept getting distracted… I’ll end it here. I will try my best to blog as much as possible this summer, but I don’t know how I’ll handle 10 hours of working every day. We’ll see…

Now that I am done school, I have a bit more free time. Not for long, as I’m currently working 2 jobs (one part time, and one full time as of wednesday) but I’m trying to take advantage of what free time I DO have. Time that used to be spent worrying about projects I had yet to finish or getting to school on time is now spent watching free movie downloads. I am a huge movie/TV fan, but it was so hard to find time during school to watch many movies. And without Megavideo anymore, it’s hard to find places to watch movies online for free anymore!
www.freecatcher.com is a great place to look for many free samples of boks, clothing, food products, household items and more. There’s multiple categories and hundreds of samples available for those products that you may be interested in, but want to try a sample of before you actually spend the money buying it. There’s even free episodes of different TV shows from iTunes, which is handy to put in your iPod/iPhone to watch when you’re waiting somewhere or maybe commuting via train/bus. So if you’re looking for a sample of anything, or just want to browse, be sure to check out these links for free samples by mail 2012.

Almost the end…

I am almost done my first year of school. I have one day & two classes left to finish. The other 7 are done, but for tomorrow I have an exam to study for, and two projects to (start/)finish. I am beyond excited to be done, even though as soon as I’m done I’ll go back into working- and may even end up with a full time summer job somewhere new, but I will post more about that later. I apologize for my complete lack of blogging. School has been taking up time. Work has been taking up time. Life has been taking up time. My life is…. well, kind of a mess right now. Not really in a terrible way. I am not the same person I was even in January of this year, and I don’t know how I feel about that. I am happy, but I am not. I have too much stuff to do to explain it all right now, but I just wanted to post that I am alive and well! But I will be better tomorrow afternoon.
I should be working on my projects now, but instead I’m procrastinating and browsing Geek Toys 2012. It’s a pretty awesome site filled with Petsmart coupons, Amazon promotional code and many amazing, cheap products. I already found something that I want to get my mom for christmas, and the prices are great! But alas, it is 11:59 and I told myself that I’d start all of my projects at noon so here I go…
