Senior year and a job

It's December of my senior year already and so far school is going by extremely fast. It's bittersweet because I want it to end but I actually enjoy going to school and seeing everybody. I also like being on a schedule, but I have a good feeling when high school is over I will live better being off a schedule. Anyways, I was just thinking about senior year and how things have changed since freshman year. Unlike the rest of MHS seniors, I for some reason still have this motivation to do well in school. Yeah I know grades don't count and colleges don't look at them and all that bullshit, but I have a feeling if I slack off now, chances are I'll slack off in my freshman year of college. So if I can keep up this motivation and not develop bad habits like sleeping in class and just not doing any work, I'll continue to do well in college. We'll see what happens.

If you don't like to listen to music or watch movies, chances are I won't like you that much. But thats not to say we can't be friends. Many of my good friends aren't that thrilled with seeing a movie or listening to music, but it seems its easier to become friends when they like either of the two. I saw a kick-ass movie today. It was called "Almost Famous", and was about this kid who writes and follows a band around. The soundtrack alone is insane but if you have a chance to see it definitely take it.

Three weeks have passed since I got a job at Cheeburger Cheeburger. Its pretty cool there, but starting out is rough. Right now I only have training in Bar/To go, which is at the bar station right when you walk in. Tables order shakes and I make them at the bar. Also at the bar I handle take out orders. I picked up on how things run pretty quickly, but the work can be a lot sometimes. When it gets busy its rushing around in a small space trying to make a crazy shake, like a peanut butter oreo strawberry m&m shake. People are crazy. And then there are times when there are hardly any customers, which sucks because there's nothing to do.

It's really hard to get shifts to work. Right now I'm not on the daily schedule which sucks because I want to work. Hopefully I'll be put on soon. Cheeburger uses a program called Schedulefly. Basically all the shifts are posted online. People drop shifts and we receive a text which tells us we can pick it up. Its annoying because you have those people who sit at a computer, waiting for a shift, so you really have to be fast.

Thats about it. Lately I haven't been busy, just trying to pass the time by.

Snow Patrol recently released a new album. Its real good so if your looking for something good to listen to, check it out.

Later.
