Today, Friday August 11th is officially my first day off since my birthday weekend of July7-9th. After 32 consecutive days of work, I almost got a full day off. Although I didn't have to go to work or get paid today, I did have an extensive amount of paperwork to complete and bring to the office. SO it is my first day off, aside from 4 hours of bullshit for work.
Only 5 more shifts at the Ability Society.
My life is full of countdowns right now because it is the only thing that is keeping me sane.
After weeks of deliberation, I have decided not to work for the Ability society while in school, for several reasons:
For one, the endless hours of paperwork and time spent (unpaid) at the office preparing program matierals are annoying enough right now, let alone when I'll have endless hours of school work to do. It just doesn't seem feesible or worth the time to spend extra unpaid hours just to be able to do my job at a satisfactory level.
Secondly, I am getting really friggin sick of driving out to Leduc! I am not about to spend 2 hours a day after school just to get to and from my job! And I am not going to drive on QE2 in the snow, it is a bad enough highway in the summer!
Thirdly, when I first started this job, I didn't care much about what the pay was, I was just happy to have my first "real" job that will count toward my career; however by the time I have paid for gas to drive to Leduc and Westmount all the time, plus having to get my car fixed (not to mention the fact that I mainly bought my car just to get this job!), when it's all said and done, I am walking away from this job with about $400 over 4 months. I know money isn't the most important thing, but I am not about to basically pay to work for them!!
And finally, it had to be said, working with children is bad enough but I still don't quite understand how I have had the energy and the patience to work with autistic kids!! I don't think I could keep my sanity if I was working with autistic children while in school; talk about STRESS!
So, back to the life of school and Boston Pizza, atleast I know what to expect.
25 days till school...... I already feel as if the summer is gone. May, June, and the first week of July was my summer. I got a few days at the beach, a kick ass camping trip, and lots of drinking and having a good ol' time. Since I've been working each day and usually both jobs each day, I spend what little time I have either with Brad or sleeping. Summer is over to me but I forget that I will have almost 2 weeks in BC, so I guess that will be the end of summer.
I am still unsure of the real reason I am looking forward to returning to school. I know the nostalgic feelings will disappear once I'm in to the 3rd or 4th week of classes and I remember how much I despise homework! School will then become this awful burden that I have to get rid of in anyway possible, be it avoidance or completion of it (coming soon, countdown to Xmas holidays, lol). I guess I am looking forward to things settling down and knowing what my schedule will be like everyday for the next 8 months.
Honestly, I think I am most looking forward to the slack-ass approach I take to school. I know it's bad, but I know that unlike work, if I wake up in the morning and I don't feel like getting up, let's face it, I probably won't!
So bring on the life of procrastination, writting paper's into the wee hours of the morning the day they are due, and again using the wonders within my never-ending colon! (inside joke!) I love being a student :D

oh the never ending colon! I swear, it has been far too long since you have used it, may need cleaning out perhaps? I guess that is what the first few papers are for. Keep your chin up, school is just a stepping stone to being what you want to be!
