Working for the Weekend
I now know what this means. And the best part is sleeping in. I'm still debating about whether or not working full time is better than being a student. As a student, I pretty much set my own schedule. If I had a whim to run to Target during the afternoon, why not? Or I could just take off and go on a little road trip pretty much whenever I wanted. BUT in the back of my mind, I always knew there was something I should be doing, some book I should be reading. Working full time, though, means that I HAVE to wake up early every morning, fix a lunch, go to work at the same place, doing the same thing for 8 hours every day. The other day I remembered I needed to get an oil change, and I realized that now I had to wait for the weekend, along with everyone else. BUT I could go to the park on Monday night with friends, shopping with Kris on Wednesday, and swimming with Kylie on Thursday with a clear conscience. There was nothing else that I needed to do. Oh yeah, and as of next Friday, I will even have my first paycheck so I can actually afford to do all these things.
Maybe in a year I will really miss school and be ready to go back, but for right now, I'll just work for the weekend. That sounds good.
