My Summer (As a list!)

Things I Did This Summer:

1. Worked two jobs. (Library and Dining Common)
2. Payed for my own tickets to go home.
3. Payed for my own books.
4. Switched my major to Humanities so I can graduate on time.

Things I Learned This Summer:

Job-wise:

1. How to work the Circulation Desk at the library.
2. How to inventory books.
3. Shortcuts around the library.
4. How to wipe tables the DC way.
5. How to clean the DC lobby.
6. How to stock the bathroom cart.
7. Sinks.
8. Traycheck!!
9. That working in the Dining Common can actually be a LOT of fun.
10. How to be in charge (for almost two hours).
11. Slimy, moldy flowers smell much, much worse than whatever else is in that garbage can...
12. It is quite possible to develop a relationship with a vacuum cleaner. I <3 Boba Fett...

Relationship-wise:

1. Hanging out with a bunch of girls is more fun than I ever thought it would be.
2. It's actually possible for me to miss people reallyreally bad! (This honestly surprises me. I didn't think it was possible. Now I feel at least a little human.) :P
3. It's also possible for me to talk to someone ALMOST every day (not quite) without getting completely sick of them. (This also somewhat surprises me, but not as much.)

Other:

1. God provides.
2. Apparently this one guy (who shall remain unnamed to spare him any embarrassment) and I would be cute together.
3. I can cry reallyreally hard without knowing why. (Yeah, I'm weird.)
4. If you on-the-whim decide to go home, make sure than your whiming takes place earlier on in the summer so getting subs for your jobs is easier and less stressful...
5. Also, if you are thinking about taking a class over the summer, do it right away instead of the month before school starts. You'll never finish if you wait till then.
6. Having texting is definitely an asset.
7. Doctor Who is AMAZING and David Tennant is the BEST.

And there is soooo much more that I just can't think of right now! So I'll probably add a few as I remember. ^_^

  1. #9 is SOOO true. DC jobs are TONS of fun, but usually only because of the awesome people you get to work with.

    #10... in charge... at which job? I assume the library, just 'cause I doubt you could handle the whole DC on your own for two hours, mad skills or no. :P

    So it was random running into you this morning... Hope ya got everything you needed done. I was kinda in a hurry to get through—I guess I kinda just left ya... Sorry 'bout that.

    Oh, yeah... are you limited to only posting once a month? :P

  2. Actually, I was floor hostess for nearly two hours. :P Scary stuff.

    Yeah, that was random! I was in a hurry, too, and I actually accidentally skipped the last step! So you didn't technically leave me. I think.

    And no, I'm not limited to that. That's just how it usually turns out. It's not just the blog...this is how my journal looks, too. lol

  3. Something I neglected to add: I checked 3 books out for Stephen Jones. Someone came in and gave me his number. ^_^
