i’ve worked a few of these shifts this week and it’s starting to wear on me. i don’t even know how someone can make this their regular shift. i despretely miss human contact more than what i get in doses or at 3/4 am. tonight, i’ve gotten a few intoxicated people who have sauntered through the door but mostly they just want to go to bed.
it’s been a quiet week, thankfully. i’m also waiting for it to finally feel like summer. june weather hasn’t brought on too much of anything. i’m ready to frolic in the sunshine. read books in the grass. have a picnic, or something. ready for those nights when the warmth just wraps itself around you and doesn’t let go.
apartment hunting has begun. financially it doesn’t make sense for me to move out before i come back from australia but being at home is starting to take its toll. i’m ready to start feeling like an adult. i just don’t want to struggle.
i guess that’s sort of childish of me but i don’t think it’s terrible. soon enough it’ll all come together. i just have to suck it up for a while longer.
graveyard shift. 4th night in a row. then 2 days off. oy vey.
3 weeks until vacation. i’m roadtripping down to southern california for my university’s graduation and to lounge about in san diego & frolic on the beach. i’m in need of some sunshine and no concerns.
my cousin is getting married in 2 weeks from today! my mom has frowned upon this but i really would like a pair of beige heels to wear with my dress. i think my heel collection would be a little more complete with a pair of beige/nude heels. isn’t it sort of an essential?
i have a little over 4 hours left of work & i’m trying to figure out what to occupy myself with. emails feel mundane and i’ve already browsed through a lot of websites.
tomorrow is the SJ Eats festival. lots of food trucks out & about with some hopefully nice weather! i’m taking 25 bucks w/me & that’s it. we’ll see how far that goes!
now i’m blabbing. on to another form of procrastination.
This is my favorite childhood movie. So good!
“Come out, come out, whereever you are!”
Can’t not reblog.
tonight is night 3/3 for graveyard meaning it should be the easiest night. usually I’ll have some drunk people stumble in to keep me company/harass me so it should be an interesting night.
tonight is one of those nights where I wish I could just sit in bed with my pup and watch a movie or 2. I’ll have to settle for my laptop in an office. there are some perks to graveyard and some definite drawbacks but listing them would make me sound very negative Nancy-ish. sometimes I feel bad for the Nancy’s in the world..can’t be easy to have that connotation.
Looking forward to the weekend..will be spending it with some good company and will have some much needed relaxation time :) hooray!
now, time to make myself presentable for the next 8+ hours of work.
Today was fabulous because I was able to eat at my favorite taqueria today. Mmmm San Jose may not be the most exciting of places but they are the home of “La Victoria”. A little place near San Jose State which serves some of my favorite Mexican food..EVER. I haven’t eaten there in months so it was SO good to have some this afternoon. And post delicious lunch I also enjoyed some boba. Pearl tea & Mexican food <3 a beyond blissful Wednesday afternoon!
2011 has started off sensationally. I can’t believe it’s already February. Okay so maybe sensationally isn’t exactly the word but I felt like using it. so there.
So far all my “resolutions” have been pretty easy and I’m working hard and making a sincere effort to do something from the list everyday which is making me feel accomplished. I’m slacking, slightly, on reading every single day because I usually don’t have the energy when it comes down to it. Or perhaps I’m being rather lazy & using that as an excuse. Either way, more reading shall ensue.
I just came back from visiting Redlands this past weekend which was really needed. I saw a lot of old friends and had a lot of good laughs and I think I de-stressed myself which is something I really needed. I was getting sucked into a sort of rut which I can feel slowly creeping on again.
I’m looking into moving out in a few months with my best friend which I think is going to sincerely help me feel like an adult. For now, I’ll live around here but eventually it’s on to San Diego & possibly even Australia. I’m planning a trip to go back there in September for 3ish weeks, or however long I’ll be able to swing it with work. I can’t wait. Hopefully I’ll be granted the time off.
Tonight is night 1 of 3 of this week’s graveyard shift. So far so good. They’re getting much easier to do. I like my job, although it is just a job for me. It will never be my career which is not something that I’m torn up about. But I’m trying to figure out which route I want to take for a career. I thought I had a plan but it seems like, as most of my plans go, there are a lot of gaps in the planning process. Ah well, I’m not discouraged. I’m going to go back to the good ol drawing board and see what I can make happen. I know that I have some time before I really need to figure it out.
Huzzah. Time for some “How I Met Your Mother” and some cinnamon raison peanut butter toast, with a banana on the side.
so new years has come & gone. 2011 has just begun but so far I’m off to a good start, in terms of my resolutions. I figured out a few more I’ve been wanting to do but I’ll attempt to tackle some small hills before trying to climb mountains.
discovered zumba today and I love it. It shall be the easiest way for me to stay in shape, which is a higher priority of mine.
I’m starting to bake again which makes me happy. And thankfully I recently received lots of new cookbooks so my family will have to deal with me experimenting.
I think the easiest way for me to stay sane is to try and occupy myself w/as many activities as possible. That way I remain happy & active.
Also, I think I’m going to start planning for some great trip. Something fun and worthy of at least 2 weeks away, if not longer.
Ah, graveyard is definitely filled with plenty of opportunities to kill time. I have at least 3 hours before anyone might need me. silence is golden
