Tired

Currently Playing: Brand New - Play Crack The Sky

I'm tired. There's only been three real days of class - but I'm tired.

At first I planned to take Japanese, but since I'm still on the waiting list and the professor does not seem to want to add people, I don't think I'm going to get in. Not to mention that taking Japanese would also entail a considerable amount of busywork and two quizzes each week. Of course, that's on top of a class every day at 9:00am. So, I don't think that would have worked out in the end anyway.

The class I am going to replace it with (if at all), is probably going to be Psychology 101, Developmental Psychology. That class, hopefully, will not be too difficult. I am hoping it will be like all the other psychology classes I've taken, with only a few midterms and a final. No homework please. The only drawback about this class is that the lecture is from 6:30pm to 9:20pm every Tuesday. I don't know how many of you have had a three hour lecture, but trust me, sitting through all of it is death. I don't even think my laptop battery will last through all three hours. I'm hoping all the lecture notes will be posted online with explanations for everything, thereby negating my need to go to class.

My other classes also suck, but I don't really feel like talking about them, so...yeah, moving on.

My schedule for work is supposed to be Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 12:00pm to 6:00pm every week. This week, however, since people are stupid and they like to give money away, the bookstore is open until 8:00pm every day, so I'm going to have to work until 8:00pm. YAY! Not to mention I have to deal with stupid people the whole time I'm there. From 12:00pm to 3:30pm, I have to deal with my supervisor, who believes in doing things her way and her way only. When things aren't done exactly the way she wants, even though most of the time she doesn't even tell us how she wants it done, she gets annoyed and makes you do it all over again. At least she is fair in her yelling: everyone gets an equal share.

The rest of the day I have to deal with students. On Monday, I think the only question I got asked all day was "I didn't see X book on the shelf, do you guys have any more/when is it coming in?" Maybe if any of them actually looked at the tag on the shelf, they would realize that not only does it say that the textbook was Re-ordered/Delayed, but also that it says what day it is expected to come in. Can't people do anything for themselves...?? Of course, my supervisor doesn't make it any better. She is very anal about customer service. We have to greet every customer and help them find every single one of their books if necessary. Once she yelled at me because I didn't help a customer that walked into the store even though she plainly saw that I was in the middle of helping another customer.

Oh wait, I was wrong about that question being the only question I was asked. One customer did come up and ask me where I got the lanyard that my nametag hangs from. The conversation pretty much went like this:

Customer: Hey, where did you get that? (Points at the lanyard around my neck.)
Me: They gave it to me when I started working here.
Customer: Oh. Are they still handing them out?
Me: No...I don't think they hand these out. (They say UCSD Bookstore on them)
Customer: Oh. Can I have yours? (I can't be 100% positive, but I am quite sure he was serious.)
Me: No. Do you need some help finding books?
Customer: Oh, no. (Walks away.)
And of course I stand there confused for about ten seconds until another customer comes up to me and asks me if we still have any more of their book.

I really don't know what I'm going to do when I actually have to study. Maybe I'll just die. That will solve everything.

The only thing I really look forward to every day is getting home and eating dinner with Tiffany, and then spending a little time with her before I have to go to home and go to sleep and start the cycle all over again.

Oh, and of course playing the occasional game of poker. And winning. (Except that one game where I lost in the first hand. That was a damn fluke. Stupid Jon.)
