College...
I have officially applied to college. I'm done with complaining about working in the video store, and - socially - I'm feeling in a bit of a rut. School will introduce me to more people, and open up more doors for me. The social part isn't as important, but it'll be a nice bonus.
I've applied for the law clerks program, which has an optional co-op. Although, I don't understand why people would not do a co-op, but whatever. It'll be great, creating networking opportunities for me and whatnot.
I already have a university degree, and the program is open to kids just out of high school, so a lot of people are shaking their heads and saying "oh, you'll get in, no problem", but I'm don't want to bring myself up for a huge letdown if I don't.
So, of course, I felt just a little bit accomplished yesterday at work. The assistant manager seems to still be under the impression that I'm jealous of her and after her job. It's kind of sad, actually. I'm so sick of her crap. Two days ago, she slipped on the ice outside the store while taking the garbage out and really hurt her back. Not funny, not gloating, I'm worried about it. But I looked at her immediately after it happened and said "fill out an incident reporting form", and then several times later that day. She refused to do so, but went to the hospital yesterday. This is your back, you moron. You might not be able to work anymore. I'm having trouble feeling sorry for someone who won't take 5 minutes to fill out some paperwork that could help them a lot in the end. If it doesn't turn out to be a horribly big accident, then fine, whatever. But if it turns into a serious medical issue, not having that form filled out means no compensation whatsoever. Why wouldn't you take care of yourself?
I really hope I get into school.
