I need a vacation. I need to get away. I need a break from work… a break from school. I need to hit the lottery. I’m tired. I think I have too much on my plate. I work two jobs, I’m in school, I make a conscious effort to go to the gym at least three times a week, and I volunteer to be a big sister.
My part-time job is cool. I get paid big bucks to monitor systems and make sure nothing turns red. If it turns red, I’m supposed to call someone. When I have homework to do, they WANT me to do it, so I’m not bored and want to quit. I’m a floater, so that means I work at least 16 hours a month… sometimes more. Well one of the permanent people quit. They offered me the position, but I turned it down. So until they find someone to replace the old guy, I’m working every weekend! This is my 4th weekend straight that I had to work and it’s really starting to kick my butt! Seven days straight… all morning shifts can be hard on a person. Sometimes I just want to sleep in! I’m not going to quit the part-time job… that’s good and easy money. Shit! It’s paying for my trips to Niagara Falls and Vegas… but those trips aren’t until August and December. I need a break NOW!!!
Volunteering as a big sister is cool. I have to see her at least twice a month. But it’s kind of hard because I’m supposed to be a mentor to her, but she doesn’t really open up to me. I’m not one to pry for information. I try to make it so that a person feels comfortable around me and they just open up, but she just doesn’t want to seem to come out of her shell. Although volunteering doesn’t take much out of me, the fact that I’m working seven days a week is. I never feel like doing anything. I just want to lay around the house and relax! And that’s NOT me… As you can tell from previous posts, I like to be out and about on the weekends having a ball with GTL and/or my girls.
For instance… I wanted to go out last night to support Kween’s “Wet” function. One because I just wanted to, and two because she always supports GTL and my events. GTL was sick, but I still would’ve went out with my girls. But I was just tired!! And I’d rather had stay in the house curled up watching the NCAA tournament. That’s crazy!! I don’t get interested in the tournament until around the Sweet 16!!! So Kween… I hope you had fun! Sorry we couldn’t make it.
I usually get a nap in after I get off of my part-time job, but lately that isn’t cutting it. I have to work every weekend until Easter weekend, or until they get someone in here and trained. But I’m going to put some money aside (you too GTL) because as soon as they tell me they found a replacement… I’m going away!! I deserve and NEED it!!
These are just my thoughts and opinions. I try not to care so much, but I can't help it; it's just in my nature to care about those close to me. If you don't like my opinions..................ask me if I care!

About me: I'm not the average chick.. My thoughts and actions are different than anyone else you will ever meet. To sum it up.. I'm one of a kind! You will never get to know the true me until I get to know you and I am able to trust you. And even then, I'm still a private person. It takes time to get in my inner circle, but once you have, I can/will be the best friend you have ever had.

Yeah, it sounds like you do need a break. Take a day off in the middle of teh week or something and don't tell anyone where you are going or what you are doing. You will definitely get your rest then.
As far as the little sister thing, it took awhile for my little sister to warm up to me too. But it will happen. How about calling her on your way home from work one day just to check on her and see how her day at school went. That is how me and my sister bonded. Now she calls me ALL the time and talks me to death. But its cool. -

I totally understand where you are coming about needing a vacation. I wish Calgon would come and take me way...specifically to the Domnican Republic.
You definitely do deserve a break...I got tired just reading your post :o) I hope it comes for you soon.
And although I know you won't, don't give up on your little sister. I'm sure that what you are doing for and with her means the world to her and when you least expect it, she's going to open up.
Get some rest... -
Poor baby - You sound like me in college! I was wondering why I was SO sleepy until I actually added up the hours I was working. 60-67 a week plus 18 units of school and volunteering! All I can say is - do it while you're young and SAVE MONEY! Don't let all this working be in vain. Remember to take time for you (I had to take a "sick" day last Friday just so I could sleep in and get stuff done around the house!)
