C'est terrible!

I just killed about 8 wasps that were getting a little too comfortable on my porch. It was such an adrenaline rush! I think they're such scary bugs. I was stung by one once when I was a little kid and I remember my entire finger swelled up. Haven't been stung since and Lord willing, I never will again!

Now that I'm a working woman ;) I haven't been blogging. I hate that! I'm supposed to be writing my midterm paper for my lit class that will be over in about 2 weeks, but I've only blogged once so far this month and I thought it was important to write a little something.

This past week I've realized just how spoiled I've been my whole life. I've had summer jobs before but they were never huge companies where I was meeting 10 new people every day. Wal-Mart is HUGE and honestly, I'm enjoying my time there. I doubt I'll be a cashier my whole life but I'm learning alot about an honest day of hard work. I worked a 9 hour shift yesterday and when I woke up this morning I could barely move. I was on my feet from 11-8pm and though it went fast, it really wore me out. There are so many people I work with now that are mid-aged, and older, and they're there every day working hard to make a living. Not only are the people there working hard, but they're nice too. There's over 400 employees and every single person that I've come in contact has either 1. acknowledged that I was new and welcomed me to "the family" or at least 2. smiled and greeted me. It's awesome! I never thought I'd be this happy about being a cashier. I know I'm going to have days where I'll say I hate it. But I feel much better now that I have a job and I'm actually working for it.

While working 30+ hours a week, I'm also taking 2 classes. I really feel for all the people I've known at USF who went to school full time and worked too. I don't know what I'm going to do come fall but as of right now, I'm registered for 4 classes.
Speaking of classes, that essay isn't getting any longer by me writing on here.

Au revoir.
