I’m sure that everyone is as excited as I am about this three day weekend. Working retail for so long has really made me appreciate a long weekend. When you’re the manager of a discount retail store, all three day weekends mean to you is that someone is going to call in sick and you’ll have to work ALL WEEKEND LONG!!!! I really am glad I decided to go back to school and quit that job.
So here I am heading out to the beach for a long weekend and then hitting the books and back to class. Man does that sound good or what?
Well I told my father that I needed to find a part-time job and would you believe that he just happened to have a part-time opening in his office. Sure he did, he created a position for me but that’s okay I guess. He’s still hoping I’ll change my mind and become a lawyer. Who knows at this point anyway. All I know is that I want to help people that have either been accused or have committed a crime to get back on their feet and into a better life. I don’t know if I can do that through becoming a lawyer or becoming a probation officer? Anyway, I have a job.
It’s that time when everyone is registering for classes. I have some that are online and some that are on campus. I’m really looking forward to getting back into school. Believe it or not but I have missed going to school. This is better though since I’m not in a classroom every day. I have come to the conclusion that I need a part-time job though and that way I won’t have to keep going to my father for money even though he did say he would pay for everything.
I’m pretty tight with my money especially since I buy most of what I want or need online. You can really save a bundle if you just know where to look. I’m the search king for savings!!
Well here we are in San Francisco. Man what a beautiful town. This is the first time we have ever been here. That famous street that has been in all of those movies that is so crooked, well we went down it and it is just like you see in the movies. Duh-huh huh? Anyway it was totally awesome.
We also visited Alcatraz. I swear you could almost hear the former prisoners hollering through the halls. It was sort of scary to think that men were actually locked away in there. I guess I have too much of a tender heart but seeing that place only made me realize that being a parole officer is exactly what I want to be. I believe that there are some people that are evil but most of the people that have been incarcerated are a victim of their environment or circumstance. Dad says I look at people through rose colored glasses and maybe so but if people would just have a little more compassion for others, there might not be so many repeat offenders. That’s just my opinion right now anyway.
I told my Dad that I needed a new laptop or notebook and he started researching right that second. I guess for his money and service he thought a Dell laptop was the best. I didn’t really care especially since I didn’t have to buy it myself. What he got really surprised me.
He got a Dell Alienware. It’s really a gaming computer but he didn’t have any games preinstalled because he doesn’t want me playing games instead of studying, his words not mine. Anyway it’s not only cool looking but man does it have all of the bells and whistles I would ever need. You got to check them out at dell.com. They are totally awesome and be prepared that they are a bit pricey. Check it out.
