Frin-dicking-tastic Friday!
Very rarely do I have an "Awesome Friday", mainly because I'm always sleep deprived and I remain so for the rest of the weekend. On Fridays, I volunteer at the Aquarium of the Pacific (which is pretty kick@ss) from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. The hours really aren't that bad, but for fear of being stuck in traffic, I try to leave the house by 7:30 or before. Meaning.. I have to wake up early. Waking up early is... as of today, my worst enemy. Something I have never been able to conquer. I am a night person. I enjoy the day, I do, I love the whole first dew on grass in the morning, and how the cold wind hits ur face and freshens you up. Whoop-ee. I just don't like to do it on a daily basis. No, no, no. But seeing that I love my volunteering position at the aquarium, and fear of not making a good impression, I, on all the times I've volunteered there so far, have been pulling all-nighters to make it on time. Yes, I am very aware of how dangerous this is trust me, the second time I pulled this little plan, I fell asleep at the wheel... three times... LUCKILY it was locally.. but still, dangerous nonetheless. I should've pulled over, but I was so close to home, literally so close, I made it through the whole freeway without falling asleep, i figure, might as well make it all the way home. But, yea.. three times. Fell asleep at the wheel. Hella dangerous. Unfortnuately, due to my financial funds, or moreso, lack of, I have also picked up a Friday shift at my workplace. =/ It's a 6-CL shift... and I stay till around 11:30 maybe midnight. THEN the next morning, I have work at 7:30 a.m. Do u see my predicament? Anxious that I won't make my 7:30 a.m. shift on time, I get restless and have a lot of trouble sleeping the night before. And normally on saturdays, it's girls' night out. We try to do something, go to each other's houses, etc., and I havent seen my girls so I suck it up and go. But I get tired... because the next morning I also have work at 7:30 a.m. WHY, WHY OH WHY u ask do I take such early shifts if I absolutely despise waking up early? Money. That's all. I'm willing to put my health, my mental stability, on the line for MONEY. -_-' BUt no worries, those days will be gone soon =), days where I finally have my weekend free!! x) how excited am i.
But, back to the main point. VERY RARELY do I have an Awesome Friday and man.. was it fr-indicking-tastic! Now a couple of months ago, I was wavering between whether I wanted to be an Oceanographer or a Communications major. The easy way, or the significant way where I felt useful? I decided to stick to Oceanography, btu the only problem for me was that I had very little experience in teh field, and small as it is, I had to crawl my way into it. Hence, my volunteer position at the AoP. But man, did I come at the right time. This week happens to be Volunteer Appreciation Week x), although I missed the festival last sunday (due to work urgh), I was.. appreciated =). The Aquarium offered us volunteers Free 15 minute massages, which completey made me feel great. I have been tense my entire life lol. I love massages and man did that one feel great x). After volunteer shift, we were able to go feed some of the animals behind the scene. Lucky for me, I got the last Sea Otter feeding spot! :D WhoOo! So on my cell phone is the feeding of Summer, one of our female otters, and man she was awesome x). I mean, it was no biggie u know, feeding it, but damn it felt AWESOME to finally like.. do something with the animals. x) It validated my choice of wanting to go into this field and just made me feel just a little bit closer to going in the right direction with my choice as a volunteer there. x) Thenn.. on my way home, I see this AWESOME Yellow LAKERS sports car. I mean awesome, I was so tempted to honk at them and whoop, but I was unable to drive up to them and do it cuz of a stupid truck but whatever. Seeing that car made my day xD. So far I've had a pretty good day... and right now I"m just trying to resist the very luring lull of sleep because I have work in 2 hours =x. I'm hoping what little is left of it will not ruin my oh so happy morning/afternoon. :) *knock on wood* x)
