busy, busy, busy

that's how this past week has felt. but last night, that just took the cake. so the homecoming football game was supposed to be last night, but it was canceled because of rain. but it didn't really matter to me, because i had to work. so i got to work, and the parking lot was a lot fuller than normal. i've become accustom to parking in "my" parking spot, which happens to be in front of the light pole. and normally there's no one else that parks even close to that area. all the other workers park near the plaza itself. i figure i don't want to get in that habit, because once the stores in that area of the plaza open up, we won't be able to park there anyways. so some of my fellow workers were parked near my spot.(but thankfully not in my spot.) so i parked in my spot, and got out and said hello to Morgan, who got there at the same time i did. we were marveling at all the cars in the parking lot as we walked toward the building. we weren't sure if they were all there for the Pizza Buffet or not. see, there's this other restaurant that just opened up the other day, and it's two doors down from us. so we thought maybe all the cars were people wanting to check out this new restaurant. well, we walked passed the restaurant, and looked in the window. there were less than ten people in there. so everyone was there for us. it was a really crazy night. i've been so used to working on tuesdays, thursdays, and saturdays. the busiest out of that three is saturday, but it's not nearly as busy as friday. so when i work till close, i'm used to working till 9:30, 10 at the latest. so it was strange when it was 9:45, and i knew there was no way we were even close to being done. but we had a lot of people there to help out. so i got out of there a little after ten. except i had to stop at the grocery store to get a gallon of milk, so i didn't get home until 10:30.

and then i got to get up and go to school. it was for the PSAT. basically most of the junior class came in today to take them. it went alright, but it was so weird sitting there in a class room on a saturday. but i got used to it after awhile. and it felt like the end of a school day, or at least it reminded me of finals, when everyone was standing outside waiting for their ride to come. i drove to school for the second time this year. :-D so i chatted with a friend of mine for a little while, and then walked over to the van and headed home. the traffic was the same as a school day too. well, except there wasn't quite as much. but i tried to wait a little while so i wouldn't be caught up in too much traffic. but i wasn't stopped for a long period time at all while waiting to get out of there. so that was good.

well, i think i'm going to go practice piano and guitar a little bit, and then do some homework. and hopefully i can get to bed a little earlier tonight. i'm so glad i'm not going to the homecoming dance tonight.

Keeping busy is a good thing most of the time. It helps to keep our minds off of things. I do it alot. Plus God says that work is a good thing so who am I to argue?

No one special

yeah, but i'm not used to being as busy as i've been over the past week. i'd still like to have a little down time. i just don't like to be that busy.
