Day Forty-six: Marathon Bakery Service

Today was LONG. The caps lock is 100% necessary. Besides getting roughly ten total hours of sleep this week,  I had to learn and work. School began with senioritis. Math was bearable. Psychology was slightly more bearable, except now that I think about it, I was even more frustrated in second block than I was in first. I don't understand why there is a need to constantly draw attention from material that will further your education to something that is completely meaningless. I feel that if you are not truly invested in learning about a subject and you elect to take the class, it is a waste of time and a waste of everyone who truly wants to learn's time. We're seventeen and eighteen years old, soon to graduate, and you are still making fun of the way that someone else talks? Grow up. People like you are the reason that people like me are insecure with themselves and constantly downplay their capacity for greatness. Enough is enough. Third block was taken up this week with the selling of carnations. As a fundraiser for the senior class, we are selling carnations that we are delivering on Valentine's Day, or SAD as I like to call it. SAD stands for Singles Awareness Day, and it really is sad. I'm really one to advertise my relationship status, but I've never had a valentine, so February 14th pretty much sucks. Fourth block was dedicated to the completion of our super-fun acceleration lab. Physics is so interesting, but being given a task and not a ton of instruction on how to construct and manipulate isn't so great. In the end we were able to pull out a V and my group finished with a little time to spare. After school I scooted over to my job where I worked in the bakery. It seemed like the morning person hadn't gotten a lot done. Their lack of checks on the checklist combined with the extra tasks I had been given and the constant busy flow of customers resulted in a six-hour shift instead of the usual four and a half-hour shift. I helped L lock up shop and headed home for some quality time with my pillows. This post was long, but not nearly as long as my very, very long day.
