So OK if you ever read my old xanga you know that I am always blabbing about how I need to make changes in my life but it never happens and I sound like a broken record. Hahaha. But ya, I think things are gonna start changing for me whether I like it or not now. I'm actually glad I didn't get Huck in BIG RIVER and that Salinas is too far and the junior version too stupid for me to do INTO THE WOODS this fall. Because this is going to force me to have nothing else going on in my life but school. I am enrolled in 8 dance classes and I plan on keeping it that way, unless I need to cancel one to fit in more work hours. But ya, in just over a week I will be done with Wingspread, and there will be no more rehearsals until 2 am, followed by hanging out until 4 am. No more excuse for me to constantly need to sleep. So no excuses to miss class.
But that's in September (I think, LOL...finding out what day classes start would be a good thing). I'm actually excited for August though, in which I have absolutely no plans or obligations after the 8th (end of Wingspread) besides work. I've been doing about 16-20 hours a week, which is already more then they're really supposed to give anyone anyway, but since I am so amazing and wonderful and hott, they are offering me another 4 hours a week in Children's to help them catch up.
The Children's Department gets SOOO backed up in the summer...which is a good thing, really. For kids reading I mean. But ya. I worked in Children's for two years (2000 through 2002), but I can't work there anymore since my sister took my old job when I left for UCSC. So that's why I work as a 2nd floor page now, since I can't be 1st floor because my uncle supervises down there and I can't be Children's because of my sister (family can't work together, it's a rule...but um, my uncle runs the page meetings every month, so whatever). But anyway, for the sake of getting all the books back on the shelves for the summer Children's asked me to come put in a half day each week, which is cool. I love shelving the kids books (well, compartively...shelving is boring as fuck), and it'll make a nice change to my week...5 days in a row of shelving only non-fiction and stupid Dewey Decimal-ness is no fun. And I'll have tons more free time now, so might as well work as much as possible and make as much money as I can in August. That's the idea. I love how I used to have such an aversion to working...well, I still do...but like when people used to ask me to work extra shifts or whatnot I'd be like "ug, NOOOO!", but now I'm like "hey, it's more money", hahaha.
So ya, after tomorrow I think I'm also done picking up Michel from camp everyday for only $5 each time. I dunno why I agreed to do that. O that's right, because $5 is more than $0. But ya, hopefully they'll have more babysitting for me to do in August too. Except they only pay me like $5.75 for watching just Michel. I should tell them I won't watch just Michel because it isn't lucrative enough for me, hahaha...seriously. I get $8 for the two kids. Whatever. Anyway, I just don't wanna babysit at like 7 or 8 am every morning for my "month off" before school starts up. But I do want to make money. So we'll see. I'd love it if I could sleep until noon every day for all of August. Except for Sundays when I always babysit at 7:30 am. Hahaha. Ug. Whatever. I am just blabbing now.
O ya, ideally I would make enough money in August for a few more clothing items and what I need more than anything (I can't resist...more than life!)...VOICE LESSONS. I really should buy voice lessons before clothes. I dunno what's wrong with me. But ya. I guess I know that once I start lessons I won't wanna stop, but $120 a month is a lot.
Um, there was more...my brain is asleep now...
