Long week

Despite the fact that this is the first week in over a month that I do not have any assignments or tests, this is going to be an exceedingly difficult week. I have to have an awkward conversation with someone this week- and it could go badly. In fact, I'm fairly sure that it will go badly, so I'm basically praying that it is only slightly bad and not a total train wreck! I'm generally an optimist, but this situation is making my optimism falter a little bit. 

I am also working a lot this week, which is great. Working a lot of hours means getting paid and getting paid means being able to do fun things and- of course- paying the bills. That's sightly important :) However, working retail is exhausting. I never thought it would be because on the surface it looks like all I am doing is hanging out in the store and selling stuff. When you start working retail, you find that there is a lot more than that- there is restocking and exercising unlimited patience with the people that come in- and we ALL know that patience is a huge struggle for me! I really do like my job a lot, I just need to develop my patience and stamina- 8 hours of standing really is tiring, no matter what you might think. It really isn't easy!

So send some encouragement my way! It's gonna be a long one.
