Summer

It's already the 7th week of the quarter, but it still isn't moving fast enough for me. I really wish it was summer already! I still don't know where I'll be working, but at least school will be over and I won't have to worry about that for about 3 months. Plus, I'll get the opportunity to go on several "vacations" (namely camping, but oh well) and that will give me a much-needed break from campus life and everything that goes with it. I know that I have it easier than those college students that actually go away to college, but it's still not easy. My brain desperately needs a break, and I can't wait for that break to come!

Well, there are some (potentially) really good movies coming out in the next 3 or so weeks, and I'm really excited about them! Next week, Shrek the Third comes out, and I definately want to see that opening night! And the week after that, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End comes out, and I most definately want to see that opening night! So, maybe by then Jake won't be working nights anymore (because they supposedly hired a new night person), but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

His job frustrates me to no end! Last weekend, we went down to Columbus for the Ren Fair...and I had to rush home because he had to be at work by 10 pm (and we didn't even leave Wapak until around 3 pm). And this Saturday, I'm going down to see my Dad in the hospital, and I want Jake to be able to come with, but I really don't want to have to rush around again...I would just like to be able to enjoy myself while I'm down there, and there's really no way that can happen if I've got to worry about getting him home in time for work. And last week, I asked him if he would ask for either Friday or Saturday night off, and he said that he wasn't even going to bother trying because they don't have to give him the day off if it's going to inconvenience/hurt them...which it would because they're short on night people.

So, I want to have a semi-relaxing weekend, but it's not looking promising. For one thing, my Dad will be in the hospital, so he and Mom will be gone all weekend (until Tuesday, maybe), so I'm going to be stressed about that (I'm sure he'll be okay, but he'll be pretty far away). And another thing is that Sunday is Mother's Day, and Mom will be gone for that, so I'll have to find time on Friday to go up to Lima and get her something for that to bring along on Saturday. Why do weekends have to be so short?!?!
