College Update

Ladies and Gents, it's freakin' turkey day this weekend!

Anyhow, onto business.

School is going really well, I'm doing well in all my classes. Although sometimes the work can be intense, I've managed to do really well. My friends are all awesome, Guido, Tara, Kyle, and Becky are the names of my closest friends.

Work, at Subway, is shitty. Last weekend when I closed, I apparently forgot to do something, and so the ex-manager, who opened the following morning, wanted me to be written up for it. Fortunately the current manager is really cool, and was like, screw you, you're not the manager anymore, I am, and it's my decision. Not only that, but I've been sick all week, and have gotten progressively worse. Last night I worked, and I felt pretty crappy the whole time. My manager, with whom I was working with, told me that if I was feeling worse today, to call in and he'd find someone to cover me. I felt even worse today, probably from lack of sleep, the high fever, and the general lack of energy that comes with being sick. So, I called in, and the ex-manager answers, and I ask her to talk to the manager. He's busy at the moment, and asks if she can help me. I tell her my situation, and she threathens to fire me! Her exact words were 'Will, you're still in your first 3 months, and you've taken a lot of time off (Including today, I've taken off 3 days, all for legit reasons), how badly do you want this job? I was so upset, you have no idea. I told her I needed this job, and asked again if I could speak to the manager. She finally passes him over to me, after telling me that she would talk to him about she and I talked about. When I talked to the manager, he asked how bad I was, and if there was any way I could make it in. I said no, I wasn't even fit to drive. That's how bad I was. He ended up taking my shift, and I slept all day after class, and then drove home, because I was feeling better. So yeah, shitty week at work. Real shitty.

But despite all the load of crap, today is a really good day. The girl I like at school, one of my closest friends, Becky, admitted to me that she liked me, a lot. And I replied that I too like her a lot, after discussing it, we have decided to date. This has made my week, the last 'relationship' I was in, if you can call it that, involved someone who was emotionally unstable, and although very kind and caring, was far too demanding. I'm so happy that I found someone who likes me, who doesn't have emotional instability. It's such a relief, I can't tell you.

Anyhow, that's it for today, I hope you all enjoy your turkey days, although some of you might be in the states, and don't celebrate it for a while.

Cheers,
