I've gotten through my first week of work!! YAY! I'm happy that I have the weekend to sleep in. I'm tired... I get up at 6:30. I leave by 7:30... and i'm home around five. It's just a long ass day. I don't feel like doing much when I get back from work. This fourteen year old girl is working with Lauren and me a lot. She likes to try and act older than she is. We don't mind her working with us since she isn't as annoying as most kids her age are. It's weird hearing her say that she is going to be a freshman in high school next year... and I'm already in college. When I think back to when I was her age.... wow... it seems like forever ago when it was only five years. It got me thinking about how much I changed. I'm wondering how she will turn out. Her mom is a partner in the business we work for.. so basically.. they have a lot of money... She's going to a private high school. I'm thinkin she'll probably lose a lot of her rebelliousness.....if that's even a word. I dunno... It's really weird to think back that far....

So I went for a jog today.... It was only ten minutes, but I figure that's at least a start. I'm trying to get some personal motivation to change things I don't like about myself :P. I have all this motivation to do well academically, but when it comes to other things it takes me forever to dedicate myself. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up my exercise, but I want to give it a really good try. It rained all day today. It was kinda neat. Work wasn't too bad today. I learned how to use another machine, and I'm getting to know some of the people I work with a little better. There's two women that are from different countries... I think Loaus.. or however you spell it... They are really hard to understand. They're really funny though. The job is definitely worth the pay. I saw a racoon today too. It had gotten into the warehouse somehow. I was surprised to see it. It was all extra big too.... I've begun to read this book called Authentic Happiness. It's kinda cool... some interesting stuff in it. It was talking about how they did a study of nuns.... and they noticed a correlation between how optimistic nuns were to how long they lived. I guess the ones who had a positive outlook on life lived a whole lot longer than those with less positive or negative outlooks... It's actually a decent study because of how little variation there is in a nun's life. They for the most part eat the same kind of diet and have mostly the same jobs... so they could draw that conclusion in the nuns better than in a normal group of people who's lives are entirely different. Yeah... kinda got off on a tangent. Anyways, good book... got it from Mark. He's all about the positive thinking... :)... I think he needs to do some more of that right now on his job hunt :P.... I think it's about time to curl up in bed and watch some good old tv..

Hiccups suck.... I should drink some water or something. Today was a fun day. Found some trails with Mark. Climbed on some rocks... neato stuff like that. I don't want to have to go back to work. It's such a boring job. Has anyone just gotten to the point where they are so bored you feel like there isn't anything else you want to think about? That's how my job made me feel on Friday. I just didn't want to think anymore... grrr... At least I get to sleep in tomorrow. I was so lazy for the first half of today. I'm hopin to start reading a book tomorrow :)... Yay for reading!
