About time!

If it isn't apparent, I have Zero motivation these days. I have been home for almost a month, and I basically have nothing to write about. In fact, the only reason I'm sitting here now is that I know that if I don't update this blog soon, then I never will.
As I said before, my summer has been less than interesting. I started my new job at Walmart. It's not a bad job. I go in do my work and go home. My co workers are nice for the most part, and once I'm done working with them, I think I will dedicate an entire entry to the cast of characters that I work with.
We have been pretty busy the past few days, so busy in fact that I spend my entire shift standing at the register checking out coustomer after coustomer. My favorite coustomers are:
A.) Those who are so unfriendly they can't even say Hi when I greet them.... so awkward.
B.) Those who remark on how well they "Made" there money, when I use the marker to check for counterift bills. ( You wouldn't believe how often this happens!)
C. ) Those who, upon giving me an item with no bar code sticker, try to tell me how much the item costs, as if I can just punch the price in and be done with it.
In all seriousness though, I have had some really nice coustomers. I like the ones who aren't too busy to talk and tell me about the projects they are working on, or how hot it is outside. And yes... it is hot! Fortunately, I have been inside on the register everyday so far. I can't imagine being the person who has to stand out in the parking lot all day. Oh man that reminds me... I have to go ahead and talk about one of my coworkers... not that he will ever read this... but okay, so this guy I work with is probally about 22 or 23. Now, he is really nice, but for some reason he feels the need to always tell me what he is doing. "Im going to go fill the charcol." "I'm going on my first break.." oh and my favorite was yesterday... :
Boy: " I'm going to the bathroom"
Me: "Okay"
About three minutes later, the same boy came and found me in the middle of the bird food isle:
Boy: "Maintience had the bathroom barred off so I couldn't go"
Me: "Okay"
I mean... there is such thing as too much information!
Anyway, thats about it for my summer so far. I'll try to update more often... if I get the motivation...!

This, my friends... is me. Hunched over at my desk, dead to the world. I would like to say that I have spent my whole day with my nose in a text book or going over piles of notecards, but the truth is, I haven't cracked a book all day...and it's finals week. Earlier, after a nice long afternoon nap, I presented Brooke with my day's schedule:
Sleep
Eat
Lay on Facebook
Sleep
Repeat
Hey... at least I'm being consistent right? I did however manage to write a two page letter to Charlotte... took me about 12 hours to finally get it done, but it's stamped sealed and ready to go! I know I sound like I am being especially lazy, but in my defense, I only have two really easy finals to go. It is just so hard to motivate myself at this part of the semester. I'm just ready to be at home and to have some down time.
In other news, I found a new job for this summer. I am now a full fledged Walmart Employee! Well, as long as my background check and drug test come back clean. :-) I am so happy not to have to work at the Meadows EVER AGAIN! It feels so good to be free! I'll be working in the lawn and garden section of Wally World. At my interview, the women kept telling me how much hard labor it would be... well I finally was just like "Well I bet it will be great exercise, and defeiently need it." The lady then did a head to toe inspection of my fat body, and laughed nervously.... guess she agreed because I soon learned that I got the job!
I am ready for this year to be over, but I guess it is kind of bitter sweet. It has been a great semester and hopefully next semester will be just as great. I'll be in a new building, have all new sutiemates, and I think I'm going to love all of my classes! For now though, I'm off to bed, hopefully summer comes soon!
