Life Right Now
I am currently sitting in the bad-ass chair that I re-upholstered. I wish I had more free time to rip other stuff all apart and make it nice. I like that I feel like I am doing something that I am not suppose to be. Like ripping apart furniture. There isn't time for anything much besides work and school now. Both pretty much full time.
I am liking my classes enough so far. I do not enjoy all the seventeen and eighteen year old students, fresh out of high school, who have no respect. The ones that haven't realized that now that they are adults, no one makes them go to school, that they are there by choice. It is getting a little better as the semester progresses, but right at first the constant chatter was unbearable.
My English teacher is a little androgynous, but seems really cool and helpful so far. My math teacher is really old, a little hard of hearing (wears hearing aids in both ears), and I think that he has Parkinson's. Seeing him makes me a little sad. I don't think that is so easy for him to communicate with people, or to teach, like it probably was when he was young. I made a stupid arithmetic error on my first math quiz of the semester. Something so simple. I am still getting over that one. My teacher didn't believe me when I said that I understood the concept that the test was over. Now he thinks I am an idiot... Sociology... teacher has a heavy accent, hard to understand. Human Lifespan Development... I am STILL not sure about my path for next semester, but even if it isn't nursing, I am excited to be taking this class. I think it will be very interesting. Teacher... some lady.
Money at work is okay lately. I wish people were better tippers. Aaron and I tip really well. I think it is because we have always known that that is how servers make their money. I think that some people don't know that. I think they think that we get paid some great hourly wage or something. No. It is frustrating that my pay depends on other people, but some days it's awesome. The other day, my coworker and I played a little mind game with one guest. We were going to the same table at different times saying the same things and pretending like we didn't know the other had gone to the table. It was really funny. I could completely read the looks on the guy's face and he had no idea. Also, I am glad that I have a job to go to with cute, sweet Spanish boys to flirt with. Awesome. It is also helping me learn Spanish.
I have been making jewelry and playing piano in what little spare-time I now have. I love it.
Aaron is visiting Monday! I love that, too...
