How long can I do this?

So maybe I should have waited before picking up a job... I am now working a couple shifts a week, along with taking 5 classes (1 more than I took each semester last year) and attempting to have some semblance of a social life. I remember someone telling me once that "there are three things that make up college: partying, studying and sleeping. Unfortunately you can only be successful at two of them, so choose wisely." Having completed my freshman year, I wouldn't say that it is completely true, but I see the point. Lately, I have been sacrificing sleep more than I should have been, and have paid for it. I'm just plain exhausted. Thankfully, its the weekend, and I plan on paying off my sleep debt in full! I don't work again until Sunday, so I think I can handle that. I just can't let myself start off the week tired, because that is the worst thing to do when there is no chance to make up for it. But I can make it through this semester. I can do it. I will just have to make sure next semester is better.

Work has been going really well. I have advanced in my training, and now have my own section to take care of by myself. Granted there are only 4 or 5 tables in the section, but still! Progress! I even make tips! I am actually enjoying myself. It can be quite stressful, and exhausting, but its good money and everyone has been really nice. Come visit!

My classes seem pretty good. Spanish is crazy cuz I have it every day, but that should make the learning process easier. I see myself improving, but I have a long way to go before I can speak or listen proficiently. Accounting isn't as boring as I would have assumed it would be. I actually enjoy it and can grasp it. So that helps me feel more confident in my plan to major in business at the Business School. Beginning Acting seems promising. All we have been doing has been working on stretching and breathing, but I am excited to start acting. American History promises to be alot of work, but the material is relatively interesting, so it shouldn't be too bad. Plus the teacher is really nice. And finally, Macroeconomics. By far my most boring class. But it shouldn't be too difficult, as people say it was easier than Micro, which I found to be very easy. My professor seems nice enough, but he says "m'kay" and "uh" alot. And I mean ALOT. It gets on your nerves....

So thats life now. I just got back from dinner w/ Kendall at Olive Garden. Delicious. And we caught up, which was nice. Tonight, I think the plan is to pregame at the house, then go to a Delta Phi dance party? We shall see. All I can say is, after this week...

I'M GETTIN' DRUNK.

Over and out,
Dan
