ive never been this tired in my life

I JUST NEED SLEEEEEEEEP. I honestly feel this last week of the semester is gonna kill me. I'm so overtired that I can barely keep my eyes open. I wake up bright and early and go to class and then right after class I go straight to work till 11pm. It really is wearing me out. Now lets make things worse my car broke down today. It had been acting funny for awhile now and this morning it finally died. Ive only had it for about a year so I hope its a fixable problem. But I know nothing about cars so who knows what really is wrong with it.



So back to the whole me needing sleep thing, yahh I really need sleep. It seems like I'm always tired. and I just can't get passed that. Im also stressed with finals coming up, even though I only have 2 of them one is a program class that Im not doing to good in and I dont wanna get less than a C because I dont want to retake it. It's stressing me out the idea of having to retake something. I just need winter break to be here. This whole college thing is tiring.



So, After everything I'd say the semester went pretty well. I only crashed once, and didnt fail any tests, I hopefully wont fail any classes and I still have a job. So even though Im the most tired person in the world, I'm still alive and I guess I can't really complain to much.

so wisconsin we really need to talk about this winter thing...


ohhh snow!I can't take this anymore. I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life and the winter never seemed to bother me until recently. Ever since I've gotten older I've hated everything about it. The cold, the snow, the ice, the driving! It all drives me crazy. My driving sucks to begin with and now that the roads are icy and snowy my driving is even worse. I wish that we could have a snow-less winter, an 80 degree winter without having to move to Florida or somewhere strange like that.

So cancelling of classes on wednesday was fantastic! I was so excited to not have to drive down to campus.I wasn't neccessarily excited about not having class I was just excited about not driving. I still had to go to work which was quite the challenge. I for one got stuck in my drive way, then I got stuck in my alley. After I got out I slowely made my way to work. Once there I found out that every single cashier we had for that day had called in because of the snow. So it was only me and 3 other employees in tyhe whole store. That was very interesting because it was somewhat busy for the weather being so bad. We thankfully made it through the night and the store was still in one piece at the end of it all. This was a great way for me to really show myself as an employee and prove that I could handle things on my own. I know that anything that happens I can handle.

what a joke...

Sometimes everything just seems to bother me. It can someting as small as a song i didnt like came on the radio, to something big like failing a test. Lately for me i feel like if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Everything is going wrong, my class are piling on the homework, my work is making work till 11pm for holiday hours, my parents are complaining to me, I just want to step back and tell everyone to back off for a bit. In my last blog I wrote about working black friday and how excited I was, well I got to be the door greeter this year. And lets just say I was less than thrilled about that. So there I stood from 4:30am-1:30pm saying hello and making sure no one stole. I love my job and all but that was the most boring thing they have ever made me do.


Since I'm on the job kick I might as well complain about my night last night. A customer comes in with a thing of medicine, and tries to return it. I try scanning it and the computer tells me it has already been returnd and it wouldn't let me return it. He then hands me some make-up his girlfriend had bought and gave me the same receipt from the medicine. I look at the slip and I can't find the make up on it anywhere. So, I tell him that the make-up is not on the slip. He grabs it and walks off and I assume it was the end of that. A few minutes later I hear a woman swearing and yelling at the top of her lungs. I instantly know this must be the girlfriend and she was not happy that her make-up couldnt be returned. I try to explain to her what happened and why I couldn't return it but she still wanted none of that. She is calling me every name in the book, every customer in the store is staring up at the desk because she is yelling at me so loudly. My supervisor says "ma'am" and the customer swears at her. The customer then grabs the make-up after yelling at me some more saying I was calling her a liar, she starts walking out and stops. Turns around and says "It's cuz he's black isn't it?" I'm not even kidding when I say that it went dead silent and everyone turned and looked at her. To accuse me or even my store for that matter of something so obviously un-true was just shocking to hear. I try to do my jon the best I can, and getting yelled at is something I have come to expect.
