hard work pays off

Hard work “pays” off

I have always believed that hard work and dedication is the way to go. If you work your hardest and always try to do things, even if the things your doing are new, then you will prevail. A couple of weeks ago I went to clock in at work and I noticed a job posting as a clerk. I saw it and thought maybe I should sign up for it. But after thinking it over I better stay as a bagger with less hours and focus on school. however, a couple of the managers came up to me later and asked if I wanted to move up to the clerk position or if I was interested. I told them I’m not sure. After a couple of days, I pondered on the idea of moving up and finally decided that I would sign up for it. Last week, the owner came up to me and said I got the job and that training starts on Wednesday. I was super excited! Today is the day I started last year so I have only been at Raley’s for about a year. they said they will still work around my school hours. That was the most important thing was if they were going to work around my school schedule. I’m going to be getting 28 minimum hours a week instead of the 20 I get as a bagger. Honestly it just goes to show that working hard can get you places. And in school, the same principle applies. Work hard for good grades and a good career is waiting for you around the corner (hopefully). Also this the last blog of the year so follow me on IG or SC. Also thank you Professor hall for a fun year. thank you classmates for being cool people. La mayo

over 9000

Its over 9000

               With the semester coming an end my brian can’t help but already begin to go into summer mode. I’m starting to slack off and am already getting sluggish and lazy. I almost forgot to do this blog on time! I just want it to be summer already so I can sleep! These next two weeks are going to go by fast though, because I have so much to do in that time. I have an essay to do by tomorrow and I am stressing the hell out. I’ve still got assignments to do and tests to study for and I’m in panic mode. Last week was an eerie calm. I had no homework and no tests. I knew something was up. This week went zero to one hundred real quick. I’ve got an essay that I have yet to start due tomorrow at midnight, assignments to do and I have to mold all that around working. I’m starting to stress out. My stress level is over 9000 at the moment. Don’t get me wrong, I know I can do it but it’s just getting hectic. I keep reminding myself that I only have two more weeks left and reassuring myself that I got this. I haven’t had any time to do things that I do to alleviate stress like golf or play Xbox because of all the homework I’ve had. Just two more weeks and a few more tests. Then its 3 whole months of no school to relax and have a good time.

Can the Semester be Over Already?

Can the Semester be Over Already?

               I do not know about you guys but the semester just slowed way down. Like 100 to zero real quick. I felt like a couple of weeks ago time was flying by and thought the end of the semester would be here in no time. where did that go? Now I feel like it will never come. Im beginning to feel pretty lazy and sluggish now towards classwork and school in general. I know my last blog was about going out with a bang this semester but I am not so sure about that anymore. I go to school now and am just so tired and want to actually sleep in for once. I wake up at 6 every weekday to get to school on time and then I work the morning shifts at my work on the weekends so sleeping in is not in my vocabulary. But I desperately NEED it. Luckily, we have a day off between classes and finals so hopefully I can catch some sleep and wake up energized for studying and testing. And I advise u guys to do the same. Nothing is worse than taking an exam half asleep. Your brain is still waking up and you can’t remember a darn thing u learned the last 3 weeks. That’s happened to me a few times. So on that day off I’m going to sleep in and study for my finals. I got lucky this semester and my finals are early in the week so I’m done sooner. Just need to SLEEP!
