payday :)

So, today was payday. Got my paycheck from work and my government support money, I’m saving my gov. money for my summer vacation so I only spend my salary, which is nice because I don’t feel gulity when I shop as opposed with my dads money.

So, my friend and I went to our local beauty store and splurged on products. I’m a sucker for anything Clinique, it’s not a healthy addiction in term of my financial state, but I can’t help it. I like their products and my skin seems to like it as well, my Visa works exceptionally fine as well.. normally I have to wait about 5 seconds for the whole transaction to follow through but when I buy Clinique products it takes one second. Ok, that was really stupid. So, I pretty much blew my salary, I’m just waiting for my computer to be fixed and then I’ll put most of my money in a savings account far far away from my Visa.

Anyway, in other news, today I realized that I am a hazard to traffic. I almost got myself run over TWICE in one day on a bike. It was mostly due to my own stupidity, I didn’t see the car… it just appeared out of nowhere. The thing is, in traffic you can’t really defend yourself or explain your stupidity, you just have to deal with them giving you the finger when you meet at the traffic light. And that was with me on a bicycle what more a car. Any tips anyone?? So I won’t end up as road kill or killing people.

I also had another realization the other day while at work. I’ve been working for 3 days straight now and I’m hating it. It’s exhausting, waking up in the morning is harder than waking up to go to school. I seriously can’t imagine having to work for the rest of my life because unlike school where you can just skip classes, it’s work, you don’t show up=you get fired. I have a new found respect for those who work in the service industry, waking up in the morning knowing you’ll be cleaning toilet bowls, making beds, collecting trash, etc.. isn’t really one of those things that make you go “Geee.. I can’t wait to clean those supper cool toilet bowls!!!!”. Made me realize I better like what ever I’ll be doing with myself in the future. I really don’t want to be stuck in a job that I hate. That’s just too miserable. Reality however is different, it’s not always about what one wants but what one needs to survive in this overpriced world. This scares me, even though I’m 3-4 years away from actually full time emplyment, it’s still a terrifying thought.

 I started reading again, the last time I remember just lying in bed and reading in the middle of the day was back in 8th grade. It weird, now that I have all the time for doing anything, it’s so overwhelming sometimes. But yeah, it’s nice to be back reading again. Right now I’m reading a bunch of books on Influence. It’s pretty interesting and I’m learning a few new things on how to make people to do what I want them to do…. Haha..

So, that’s all I have to say for now. Somehow I still can’t celebrate my independence from high school since I don’t know if I passed yet but yeah. We’ll see in July 6.
