Welcome to the Machine

So I am a little suicidal right now (not physically, but mentally). I have a full class load of 400 level psych classes, and decided that on top of my school and newer home duties of regular cleaning and straightening up the house (i live back with my parents and "must follow their rules" although they really don't ask that much of me) i decided that it would be a WONDERFUL idea to get two jobs that take up the every other second of the day that is not already devoted to something. It is, to say the least, a bit overwhelming, BUT, I feel that it is necessary because i am trying to save up for a trip and it has actually really helped me with my organization and time management because there is always somewhere that i NEED to be so I have been really careful about scheduling my day so that everything i need to gets done. Also, the jobs i got, I LOVE. One is working for an agency that assigns me to clients with developmental disabilities and i get to work one on one with them doing things like taking them out into the community and helping them become more independent. I have learned so much about each one and what makes them tick, their strengths, where they struggle in life and how that relates to their disability, and how their families are affected by and cope with all this. It is very rewarding work, and I have already seen improvements in my clients, which makes me feel like a bubble of happy. The other job is working as a THE tuxedo consultant at Merle Norman (random, i know) but a good friend of mine's parents own the store and they love me and wanted to hire me exclusively for the job. The best part is that both jobs pay superduper well!

Also, on a completely unrelated note; i saw this video in my mind and brain psych class today and it highly amused me. My favorite part is the background music.
