I basically have 3-day weekends every weekend this quarter because I don't have class or work on Fridays. You would think that I would get -something- done because I have that extra day, but you would be wrong. I have gotten absolutely nothing read this weekend...I haven't even looked at my books since Wednesday. I brought my backpack to work with me on Thursday figuring that I would get a chapter read or something, but I never pulled the first book out. I think it was mostly because I was keeping myself busy to prove to my boss that I'm not a slacker.
About the "slacker" thing. My boss cut my hours down over break and for this quarter to 10 hours a week because she felt that I wasn't working hard enough and sharing the "burdens" equally with everyone else. I admit that I did slack off last quarter, and I had hoped that if I worked hard over Winter break, that she would give me my hours back for this quarter, but I was mistaken. However, she informed me on Thursday that she will be giving me my hours back for Spring quarter, so at least I don't have to quit and find a new job. I had already decided that if I would only be working 10 hours next quarter that I would quit because I just don't make enough money working those few hours a week. Even 15 hours would be an improvement!
Aside from all of my expenses, I would really like to be able to help Mom and Dad out by buying some groceries each week or something. They don't charge me rent or anything, and I usually don't have the time to do much housework for them, so I thought it would be nice to contribute by buying groceries and other household necessities....which I can't really do right now because I don't have much money left over after I get done buying my shampoo, conditioner and other necessities. And I feel bad about that. So, hopefully next quarter I'll be more helpful. :)
