One Down...

The first week of overnights has been completed.  It was actually not as bad as I thought it would be.  And I need to edit some of the things I thought about the people I work with at night.  I actually really like a lot of them.  They are all around my age and have similar stories to mine.  You know, college, no luck in the job department, living how they can.  I enjoy the environment and the people are all in all good people. We all go a little loopy around 4 am but that is to be expected.  The money is going to be really good and I kinda like the whole nights thing.

I just got back from Summerfest training and I took the time to talk to Bille Wesley about ERT training and I think that he is going to let me do it.  This means I will not only be almost a supervisor, but I will also make a little more money I believe.  Apparently a lot of people have been requesting that the Ops teams have ERT training so we are more prepared when people freak out that we are kicking them out for underage drinking.  I am really hoping that it works out.

I am very very close to completing my TEFL course and I am hoping I can finish it up this week.  I am about 99% sure that I have beaten Platteville into submission.  I emailed the Provost, who talked to the Vice Chancellor who talked to the Registrar.  He took time to pick apart my grammer and word choice in each email, and to tell me to delete the examples I was sent because they were not perfect, but the last paragraph told me what I wanted to know.  I get my way and I don't care if it makes them feel better to try to blame me for not responding.  I WIN! And that is all that matters to me.

This next week my daily schedule plans are: get home at 7, sleep till 2, run 2.5 miles, shower, finish classwork and submit new work, work in garden and then go to work at 10:00 pm.  Life is going good, and I am pretty satisfied with things in my world.  In the words of the chessy song that was the theme to one tree hill.... "I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been tryin' to be lately."
