The "Need A Vacation" Blues

Full disclosure: this is going to be a rant of things I need to get off my chest.

So, I like my second job, it pays decent and the kids aren't too much of a handful but good lord was I horribly wrong thinking I would get more time to myself. At this point in time I'm working 7 days a week (Sunday-Monday, sometimes both jobs on Saturday and Sunday since I don't  have school those nights) and my in and out times are changing so often I can't sleep without waking up every half hour.

I've been taking care of the little boy I signed up to originally take care of, his mom (who is recovering from a surgery), and his 6-year-old sister. I've been doing some housekeeping also, on top of buying their groceries and clothes and art stuff for the kids, and taking the 6-year-old to and from school. I'm home about 10% of the time (not even over exaggerating), which is leaving me little to no time to be with my baby sister (whom is more like my daughter) or let alone do homework.

At this point I just say it's about time for a vacation. And a 3-day nap!

A New Beginning

 I just got a second job as a Nanny for a 3-year-old boy. It feels so much better working with children than at a restaurant. I'm happy to announce that with this second job I've reduced my days at the restaurant and will hopefully have a little more time on my hands (:

I Don't Really Know How to Title This Post (:

I'm sitting in the library working on homework for all my classes before my English 102 class starts and it really makes me wish I had more time to spend doing this sort of thing at school or just in a library. It would be great if I could do what I did a few years back and just sit here doing work hours before my classes start and after they end.

I have a younger sister that's 16 and she's in the CSN High School program here at the Charleston campus. She doesn't drive just yet so it gets hectic arranging my schedule so I can take her home, to work, etc. But at least she's as driven as I am to be working towards her diploma and Associate of Science in Dentistry at the same time. Makes me really proud of her (: 

Academic Goal- Associate of Science (AS)

I chose to be a science major because I want to go on to Graduate school at some point and be a Mortician/Medical Examiner. My academic adviser said an AS degree would transfer with me when I move away to a University with the program that I need, so it was the better option. Right now, I'm expected to graduate by 05/2019, if I'm able to continue attending school full-time and taking summer courses. I'm halfway through with the necessary credits to graduate already and my counselor and I have made sure that the classes I've signed up for are similar to the classes offered at a school with a Mortuary or Forensic Science program.

People

To be completely honest, I don't like dealing with people. Which sucks because as a bartender/host I have to deal with them a lot. Especially the rude and drunken ones that continuously try to pick me up. If you're miserable, don't go out and infect others with your misery. That's just the worst experience I've had working in a restaurant (aside from the constant running around and no breaks part). This further makes sense as to why I've chosen to be a Mortician/Medical Examiner as my career; minimal people, and they're mostly dead so I don't think they'll complain too much.

Opening Shifts

Working 7:00 am-3:00 pm only sucks because of the the "waking up" part of the day. I bet a lot of people can relate on that! By the time any of my classes are about to start I just want to lay down for a nap haha.

Creativity

Art is a huge passion of mine and lately I've been feeling really creative but once I can take a break and get to my sketch book the idea is gone. How annoying. It's like writer's block but for art haha.
