Well whaddya know?

I forgot all about this blog! I accidentally stumbled upon it while procrastinating.

Well let's see.. how much has changed since my last post?

It's my last semester.

I have a part time job that has nothing to do with what I spent four years of my life studying, but just may end up being my career.

The only downside is, my brother is my boss. Which means things are likely to turn ugly any second. A few weeks ago I had a fight with him, because he was being a jerk, and the only reasonable reaction I had was to quit, which I know is unprofessional, but I am just unable to separate work stuff & personal stuff.

The upside, though, is that my cousin is my other boss. He talked to me and managed to flatter my ego enough to make me take back my resignation letter (email). We decided that from that moment on, when it comes to work-related stuff, I only deal with him. My brother has no authority over me at work.

That rule no longer applies ofcourse because my brother & I have since made up.

Work is literally two minutes away. Seven if I decide to walk. Five if I pick up my pace. However, things are a tad boring. And 8 hours a day, 3 times a week is a lot when my 6 days of uni are put into perspective. 8 hours a day, 3 times a week is suicide when you factor in my graduation project, and extra course overload.

Sometimes I ask myself, why? Why do this to myself? I barely have time to enjoy simple luxuries like a purposeless drive into town. I missed an engagement party last week because I had work. Granted we're not that close, but still. I can't go over to any of my friends' & watch a movie over nutella & toast anymore. Why am I doing this to myself?

Wait. I don't even know why I'm complaining. I don't really hate it that much. And even though I do miss out on so many social activities, most of the time I don't really want to go and the job just gives me a viable excuse.

What am I doing? I'm procrastinating again. I have a midterm tomorrow. I need to go study. Toodles.
