life | back on the fast track
8:43 PM
i am tired. better yet, exhausted! i haven't felt this way since i quit my government job last year. between may 2009 until november 2011 i was super busy with work, school, modeling & my somewhat social life. life was going too fast & it was too busy. sleep didn't even feel like an option & although it seemed like there were never enough hours in the day, i still prayed that time would fly by so i could get off & go home to sleep.
on 8.22.12 i began my new job at a prestige beauty store. but early that morning i also worked a shift at my counseling job. so from 10am to 10pm i was on the clock at two different jobs. & i'm not making this out to be an excuse or for people to feel sorry for me, because i knew working two jobs would have my body feeling blah, i am just shocked that i am feeling burnt out so quickly.
prior to starting my second job, i never went to bed before 2am. i can't tell you how long i have been trying to force myself to sleep prior to midnight, but it just never worked. when i quit my government job & started my counseling job, i was psyched to find out that i would be creating my own schedule, so i knew that i would never schedule myself until 10am everyday. pretty soon, i started staying up super late, hanging with friends super late, all because i knew i didn't have to clock in until 10am, & on top of that, i only worked four days a week with weekends & holidays off (the best right)?! i have been in heaven with my first job since i started back in november of 2011.
but as of this year, i have had a dream of opening my own fashion & beauty store. but before i get into the hassle of that, i wanted to have some type of retail experience. i initially didn't know where to start, what store i wanted to apply to & if i even wanted to put myself into retail & go through the hell of it. but one day while doing absolutely nothing at my first job, i started filling out applications. once i finished, i received a call an hour later for an interview the following week. i couldn't believe how quickly the general manager responded! so on 8.8.12 i had an interview & as soon as it was over, she offered me the job. i was excited because the store just seems like an awesome fun place to work. everyone smiled at me, cracked jokes & was very helpful from the moment i walked in.
so here i am, in week four of working two jobs at the same time. every day when i get home i no longer take three hour power naps as i have been doing since 2009 (i know, terrible right) but now i get sleepy around 10pm. neither job is full-time, so i still get to have a social life. school started the second week of this month, & because it's a 5 week course, with a super lenient teacher, i don't plan to sweat too much when it comes to school work *crosses fingers*
anyhow, i hope you enjoyed this life & style post.
ps: i was super lazy today. i could've taken these pictures earlier today (& much better), but i've been doing other things. i am suppose to be doing homework, but i'm watching youtube subscriptions & telling my grandad to shut up because i'm doing homework (supposedly), lol.
