(no subject)
I'm tired. Three suns, six hours of sleep, three works, one bar, and one school. Think I got a B on both of my projects, perhaps an A on one. I officially realize that I'm back in school. Work tonight was rough. I was the only waitress-the other two left at 8:00 and did no sidework. Where can I find a job that I make just as much money? I have a rather large fee bill.
So, I used to be healthy as a horse, never sick, never nothing. I've gotten 3 colds so far this winter, a couple infections, and threw up for the first time (although I don't really attribute that to anything other than excessive stupidity). Basically, my immune system is shot, and it has to be because I've been smoking and drinking excessively this past year. I've cut down on drinking by default since school and work doesn't allow the time, but I'm breaking up with cigarettes right now. Third time is the charm, right?
This is just for my incentive...although I probably won't care again soon.
