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.

end of the semester&black friday

I cant believe it! That my first semester of college is almost done. Its crazy to think that in a few weeks ill be signing up for next semester classes. Im glad that I past the first semester because starting out i was so nervous. I didnt think I would be able to handle college work but its really not that different that high school. Id say the major thing is you really have to pay attention and with high school you can kinda just skate by, not pay attention, here if you do that it wont turn out well. I was surprised as well about how I handled work and school. I knew that would be my biggest challenge going in. I work full time and trying to find the time to do all my homework and still have time to rest was difficult at first. I found a nice comprimise between work and school and was still able to be full time in both.



BLACK FRIDAY! I wanna switch gears from talking about my first semester to talking about the biggest day in retail, black friday! It really the most exciting, busiest, hectic, fun day of the entire year. Waking up at 5am to work is tiring but so fun as well. You get there and see all the people standing in line and it really puts you in the christmas spirit. That may be why i like it so much, because nothing gets better than christmas for me. This will ne my third year working black friday, the first year i cashiered at 5am, last year i worked as the css 2-11 and this year i will be helping bag&sell warranties. Three different years, three different jobs. I love my job and am so happy to have found something I love at such a young age! Black friday.....here I come!

Taylor Swift: Entertainer of the year?! Are you kidding me?!!!

I was beyond excited to watch the CMA awards last night. I was especially excited because I got done with work early so I was actually able to watch them this year. The show started with Taylor Swift, which was very annoying for me because she drives me crazy. I think all her songs sound the same and are all about the same thing. I dont think she is deserving of any award let alone all the awards she took home last night. There are so many talented country artists out there and for Taylor Swift to be the one who takes home the top honor really got me mad and the fact that all the other awards she won, should have gone to other people who actually have talent.

Every single award she was up for I sat there and said "please dont let it be Taylor Swift" then they always said Taylor Swift. She didnt deserve to beat out people like Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood...ect. Everyone who was up for an award last night deserved to win over taylor swift. In my opinion she should crawl back into the hole she came out of.

Well it was the end of the show and they were announcing entertainer of the year and I was certain that Taylor wouldnt get this one, there was just no way. But once again I hear them say....and the winner is Taylor Swift. Are you kidding me?! There is no way she deserved to win over legends like Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney. It was obvious this year more than ever that the days of actually having to have talent to win are long gone and that its all about popularity, not skill. I think Taylor Swift sucks and didnt deserve any of the awards she won.

Peanut M&M's...ohhh yeah :)

So at wrok we have this drawer at the customer service desk where we keep candy. Now, we had a ton in there from halloween and what not so I was always excited to come to work knowing that I would have candy to snack on all night. Well, I get to work the other night and I open the drawer to find no butterfingers, no reeses, no twix, all I saw was Peanut M&M's. Now at first thought I was angry because, I thought I didnt like them. So I went the whole night without eating anything from out tasty candy drawer. Till about 9pm when my hunger really started getting to me and I opened the drawer and grabbed a package of fun size peanut M&M's. I open them and think....this better be worth it. Once I eat the first one I realize, these things are delicious! This whole time I was missing out on these things because I thought I didnt like them, to find out I love them. I really did make my night, and before I left work and Grabbed a big bag to take home.


This realization of my love for Peanut M&M's was quite exciting. Another not so much exciting thing, but funny thing also happened the other night at work. It was about 9:55pm and we always get the late shoppers who come in 5 minutes before we close, so of course I go up and ask him if he needs help finding anything. He then asks if we have a latter. Im thinking ohhhh man what does he need off a top shelf. So me and another teammate go and grab one and meet the man back by the toliet paper. He goes on to tell us how Charmin 24 packs gives you 900sq feet per pack and that the new Charmin 24 pack only gives 750. He was outraged that they would do this to the public and with that rage he bought out all the 24 packs with the 900sq feet in them. He was determined to get those extra 150 sheets of toliet paper. In his toliet paper shoppig spree of 15 packages of toliet paper he ended up spending $209. It is safe to say I have never had someone spend that much on just toliet paper,ever. It was an interesting way to end and interesting day.

i just need a break from everything....

Have you ever just wished you could take a time out from your life. Just drop everything and take a month off from school, work, bills, drama, just everything. Man, I need that right about now, because honestly college is kicking my butt. I am so surprised to find that I am so un-motivated to actually go to class. I never thought that would be a problem for me but I keep finding more and more that its hard for me to get myself to class, I'm either not feeling well or I just don't want to go.

Another thing that has been stressing me out is work. Don't get me wrong I love my job but sometimes I just wish I could come home from class and just sleep, or lay around and watch tv, but its always right from class to work till 10 everyday. I think about how nice that would be but then I think about all the bills I have to pay and how me "resting" would just make things worse in the end.

Since this post is coming across as me "venting" I might as well talk about what else has been bugging me. Parking! ughhh!! I cant even begin to desribe how frustrated I am with the parking at TC. Even now, 8 weeks into the semester Im still having parking issues. I refuse to come to class 2 hours early just to find a semi-resonably good parking spot. To me thats just crazy, I also can't understand how the school doesn't see the problem and doesnt want to fix it. Because honestly, I makes TC look bad with such crowded lots and messy streets. I hate coming to class everyday because I know I'll have to deal with parking. Hopefully by next year things will improve, but Im not holding my breath.
