I'm a working woman!!! WOOO HOOOO!.. (not!)

So the one thing that I really didn't want to happen to ruin my summer was to have my summer free time be obliterated by working. And for about 2 1/2 months things worked out for me. I wasn't working full time, just at the blueberry field and odd jobs for my grandma and stuff. It was great. My summer had been fun. Just lying around doing nothing... that is what summer is for, right?

Way at the beginning of summer when my parents told me to look for a summer job, I was really lazy about it, and I applied at two places. I applied at a nursery, mostly just for fun. I wrote things like that my desired position was like a brain surgeon... stuff like that.The other place I applied was at a grass seed company. As you can tell, I was REALLY bummed when I found out that I didn't get either of the jobs I applied for. I could tell that it was going to be a summer full of reading, swimming, camps and hanging out with my friends. Oh darn. :)

I was expecting my friend from California soon. And I was all excited, because when she comes, well summer is better. We hangout with a ton of people... it's great. But noooo... things couldn't be that way this year... you know why? dDo you care? Probably not, but oh well... the person that didn't hire me at the grass seed company decided that she did want to hire me. Like last week. I had 3 weeks and 2 days until I had to quit for school, but did she care? Of course not. So I have been working at a grass seed company. In case you care, that isn't exactly fun work. Quite honestly, it sucks. I sit in a dark room alone or with a boy or two, one that I wouldn't mind killing, the other I wouldn't mind dating, and I HAND-SIFT and air column seed. All. Day. Long. Yeah, not exactly my dream job. Suddenly getting through high school, and going to college doesn't sound so bad. :)Aaaanyway, so back to my friend from California, she comes up every summer. But this year I didn't get to hang out with her very much. I work from 7:00 am-3:30 pm, but I am in town until my dad leaves his shop. Which puts me at home around 5:00 pm. And by then all I want to do is sleep or read. And I don't stay up late anymore, because I have to be up early. I hate it. I don't get how adults do it. Seriously.

Don't worry, working a job like that is just the experience you need to realize you never want to live the rest of your life doing that. Then you try to get serious about finding out what exactly it is that you do want to do.... and I'm sure yours is not brain surgery:)

By the way, I like what you did with the page... even if it is Johnny Depp.
