Overworked and Underpaid.

I have been working over 40 hours a week all summer long and have nothing to show for it. Is it in part because my bills are two high or that I don't even make enough money, 7 and 8.20 an hour. Maybe this is much like life...work and pay debt. One can only hope to have a high paying job after graduation.

And to get a high paying job, I need to be working harder at schooling. This semester will definitely prove challenging. Physical chemistry, chemistry lab, physics, math... I can only hope that I have the energy and focus to do well.

I think I can...I think I can...I think I can.

I hope that I am not causing Jeff too many problems by staying here. It has been great so far; I have been able to stay out of the way. I can only imagine how Mike has to alter his schedule to be around when I come home. I don't have a key, so if noone was here I would not be able to gain entry. I am still so thankful to them...and know that I cannot really repay their kindness.

School texts for the next semester will cost me around 600 dollars.

I will move into my own apartment with 3 gay roommates (separate bedrooms) next weekend. Should prove to be an interesting year.

I tried to talk to some Japanese kids at the store but there seemed to be annoyed. The last time I talked to this lady and she was so happy. She started asking me a variety of questions.

I helped this kid get orange juice from the top shelf of the cooler. He was going to climb into the bottom part and stand on other juice to reach it. At checkout I helped this Asian, probably Korean, student check out and used my discount card...so he saved some cash. Yes, I was motivated to help him by the fact that he was cute.

I'm not quite sure that I still have a crush on Mr. Liou.

All for now.
