first day of work. standing for 10 hours really does hurt. i mean, true, i worked 10 hour shifts at the airport, but that was like clock in, wander around for half hour, walk out to check the gate, sit around gate for a few hours, take a few breaks, do some flights, walk to back room half hour before off time. true, sometimes it was constant work, 10 hours straight no breaks at all, barely time to pee, but that didn't happen too often. tonight was pretty much just solid work. damn slapping pizzas. especially cold pizzas. my arms are gonna hurt tmorrow. today, whatever.

got my car, a day earlier than they said i would. that was good. not that i really wanted it back or anyting, but since i'm paying for it, i suppose it's good to have it. tomorrow i have to WASH it because it is sooo dirty, also gotta do all those legal car things, register, safety check, insurance, etc. various things like that.

someone called for me while i was at work. didn't say who, mommy didn't recognize the voice. a guy, more serious sounding than shane, who also called. so now i'm doing that thing where i think of all the people who could possibly call me, eliminate those who would leave messages, take out those who shouldn't have this number, we're left with not that many. my guesses are vel or officer steve, but neither of them would call me, so those are pretty much wrong. so now i'm really curious. could be mat, i think i gave him this number, he does sound more serious than shane... i just have to hope they actually call back like they said they would.

i really should go to bed, but i still need to study. then again, i know i'm not gonna be able to get much out of it, because i just don't have the time right now. i was debating going to sleep right away and then waking up a little earlier to look over my stuff, since i'm gonna be tired either way, i'm only getting about 6 hours of sleep, if even. thankfully i'm off tomorrow, but still. if i do it tomorrow (later today) that gives me more time to wake up, so i might retain more of it. anyone have any info on what gets better retention? right before sleep or right after? hmm, i wonder.

i think i can fall asleep right away, if i try. let's see, what time is it now? it's almost 3. class is at 1030, i have to leave home at 1015, if i wake up at 9 that gives me 1.25 hours to wake up, eat, study a little? about 45 minutes of actual study time... also that's 6 hours of sleep. if i study now, i'll go to sleep about 330 or 345, so i'd have max 45 minutes time. the last 15 minutes would be spent struggling to stay away and not fall asleep in my book, so really i'll only be getting about 30 mins study time... oki, i think i've convinced myself to do it tomorrow. that way it will be fresher in my brain when i get to class right? sure, makes sense to me. now i have to hope i fall asleep right away. oh yah, that's another problem with studying before bed, if i do it in my room, i'll have to get out of bed to turn off the light, this is a problem if i actually fully fall asleep while studying because i'll be sleeping with the light on, which is always bad. makes my mommy mad. also not as good sleep. if i study outside of my room, same thing, fall asleep with light on AND it's in a yucky place that is not my room.

yup, gonna do it in the morning.

d brought me dinner tonight! actually it was really late dinner, but that's okie because really, i was kind of busy up until 10 or so. it was really yummy and he even got curly fries. tomorrow he's going to get a new sub installed in his car. exciting, i like new car toys. i think tomorrow i will take a nap, but not until i'm done with my car things, especially my car wash. ugh. the windshild has this stuff on it. really i'm not sure how to describe it. some kind of really heavy sticky dust. i think that's from shipping. the rest of the dirt is just seattle dust dirt stuff that was already on it. d called my car ugly =( but he says he meant dirty. hmm.. suspicious.

my body hurts.

oh yah, kung hee fat choy! happy new year. it's year of the snake now. you know what that means... next year is... (drumroll, please)
