First day back to work today…

Urgh. Today was not fun.

  1. Everyone and their mother was out buying Mother’s day cards. Not kidding.
  2. It was truck day, and because of all the people, it took me five hours to put away one cart of candy.
  3. Every time I would log off the register, I would just reach the cart and someone else would show up to be checked-out.
  4. We ran out of regular-sized plastic bags by the end of the night. Which meant I was putting a single card in a jumbo-sized bag. Really? Why do you need a bag for a card? It’s not like it rained today!
  5. I didn’t finish my ad tags because even after I took my dinner break we were swamped.
  6. I was so busy trying to focus on getting said ad tags done that I didn’t start my closing routine until 15 minutes to close.
  7. People would not leave. 15 minutes after close I was still checking people out.
  8. When all was said and done, we finally got out ten minutes later than we were scheduled to be there when we usually get out 10 minutes before.

It’s been a long 8 hours and my feet hurt like nobody’s business. Now to watch some Avatar the Last Airbender before bed. It’s become a routine lately—go to bed before midnight and watch ATLA until 1. Starting Book 3 tonight!

My dad just blocked Fox News on our cable boxes. He’s half tempted to go block everything but MSNBC at my grandparents’ house just to see what happens.

Just another example of why my dad is an amazing human being.

Since I started cleaning my room this morning, I’ve officially found ten punch cards for the coffee shop with one punch on them. Which means I have enough for a free drink. 

I still can’t decide if this is a win or a fail on my part, though.

I got more money back selling my lab manual to the bookstore than I spent to buy it in the first place.

Which is weird…since Amazon was only going to give me 1/10 what I paid to sell it back to them.

Oh, well! That’s the only good thing that’s happened so far today, so I’ll take it! Thank you Amazon textbook dealer!

I’ve reached the “Ugh, it’s no use, I’m going to fail no matter what, I just want to go to bed now” stage in my studying.

Is it Wednesday yet?

I may or may not have just watched the entirety of Book 1 of ATLA.

It may or may not have taken that entire time for me to write my Latin American history essay.

I may or may not have put off studying for the rest of my exams.

I may or may not be in a hell of a lot of trouble starting Monday.

I keep seeing so much Korra stuff around…

Methinks I need to watch Avatar the Last Airbender over the summer. I’ve seen episodes here and there but never was able to watch it in its entirety.

Yes, this is happening.

And then I can watch LoK and understand what’s going on.

I was watching What Would You Do? because I think the social psychology behind it is absolutely fascinating and I got sucked into watching 20/20 because of the promos for it.

And this woman is…I don’t even know. 

She spends thousands of dollars when her daughter gets A’s in school. A million dollar bat mitzvah. Her kids have so many “rewards” they need body guards.

And she says her system works because her kids don’t fail on her watch.

My parents never paid or rewarded me or my sister for good grades. Ever. I graduated 11th in my class and my sister is near the top of hers. I got good grades because I knew it was the right thing to do and anything less than a B was flat out unacceptable to me. It wasn’t that I would be disappointed at not getting a reward, I would be disappointed because I knew I could do better. It’s the way I was raised. Do I wish I could have been paid for my A’s like some of my classmates? Sure. What broke, unemployed, high school student wouldn’t want a few extra bucks? But the point is, I didn’t need it.

I’m not a parent, and I don’t plan to be any time soon, but the way I see it, if you have to lavish your children with expensive gifts to ensure they get good grades, that says something about you (and I am in no way meaning to bash those who are *reasonably* rewarded for grades, e.g., a couple bucks for each A).

Sometimes the greatest reward is just knowing you put in the work.

If only 700 words about themes in Latin America today were as easy to write as 700 words about an epic food fight.

*sigh* Two and a half hours in the library and all I have to show for my LAH essay is a paragraph. Came back to my room after lunch and knocked my flash fiction out in an hour. Can you tell which one’s a gen ed?
