This is my very first time created a blog and posting, so bear with me now. Work has been pretty tough lately; I'm working these ridiculous hours for the past month, and I have definitely been feeling the burn out effects lately. Our work schedules go from Friday-Thursday and I'm scheduled for 72 hours this week. Yikes!! I've worked pretty much all day everyday, especially this week. My shifts are 12:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Rough stuff! However, there is an upside...with all these hours I've been working recently, I've been getting some great paychecks. It makes me smile usually and it helps keep my sanity. With all the hours I've been working, I was just recently able to buy a brand new MacBook Pro, and I'm absolutely loving it! Easily the best laptop I've ever had. It can do so many things and it's lightning fast.

My work schedule will be diminishing as of this Friday, and I'm very excited about it. I will no longer be working those gruesome 12 hour days. I really can't take it anymore. It's definitely getting the best of me. However, as of this Friday, I will no longer be working everyday, and my usual 60+ hours a week will disappear and magically become about 30 hours a week. A much better improvement. It will allow me to focus more on my school work and get good grades (I hope!).

I'm going to have Sundays and Mondays off every week from school/work. The main reason I wanted those specific days off is because I will be able to watch the Patriots' games! Going to be fantastic.

My school schedule seems pretty good right now. With classes starting tomorrow, I'm actually looking forward to it because 1.) I feel like I'm finally in the major I want to be in and taking the classes I'm interested in (I recently switched from a History major to Communications major last semester) and 2.) I'm glad my hours at work will fade away. I've been looking forward to this for a while!

But I hope tomorrow goes well and whatnot, but since this is my first blog, I decided to make it terribly long and catch you guys up on everything (Sorry!!)

But I'll get off this thing and let you know tomorrow how my first day of classes went! Senior Year! Ah!
