SUMMER...
This year's summer is waaaaay too long. I dont start school until freaking SEPT.
which MEANS more time working at WONDERFUL Raley's.
So this is how work is - - -
My coworkers are like recent high school grads or ppl that have graduated but dont ever plan on continuing school (the courtesy clerks) and the clerks are either old timers which are usu. nice.
Its kind of weird working there. You find ppl that i think ahve just burned out from school and have found raley's to be some "easy way out" but in reality... its just gonna suck them in where they feel comfortable and end up staying there for 20+ yrs. There are clerks there exactly like that. Its kind of sad. bec i KNOW those ppl are capable of doing so much better. Its good for me though to work with different peopel bec. i've been dealing so much with only like educated intelligencia bitches. its kind of an interesting change. i think its just weird having to adjust to having a social life outside of school. having ot make friends in the work place. something i've never had to do. = )
The other thing about working at Raley's ... and i guess retail in general is that you just learn not to care. School made me work really hard at everything i do. but since working here i just dont care anymore. I care to the point where my managers see me working hard, but other than that - fuck getting the carts when its 100 + degrees outside (unless a manager tells me.. in which case i dont like them).
But in general... its a job. I like that i'm actually getting money to spend = ) I think it'll be fun to go back in like 5 years and see who's still working there. hahaha esp bec i think a lot of the ppl there think i'm dumb or osmething.
The one REALLY beneficial thing i guess i'm learning while working here is basically customer service. u see how easily pepopel get PISSED OFF by the most random things... and you gotta deal with dat shit bec the customer is always right. bitches.
but anyways. work is consuming my life. like 30-40 hrs a week.
Kind of sad i'm not goign to dent school with allll my classmates from pacific = (
hope we all dont lose touch
but on a nother note... i moved into my house for ucsf last friday. it's pretty nice. my room is quite large. i live downstairs and there are 5 other ppl in the house who all live upstiars. need to make more trips to sf this summer while i still can just PLAY. too bad gas is so effing expesnive.
i dont feel 21.

So, I got a job... actually a lot faster than i thought. Raley's was the ONLY store that called me back and boss man hired me as a "courtesy clerk" right at the interview. Had my drug test (cut my hairs!) and I just finished training today. Bagging gives me anxiety. Providing cart to car service is kind of fun.I love how, i just got a b.s. in bio sci and now... i am bagging groceries at raleys! yessss life dream!
But whatever, I'm happy that I'm getting lots of hours and my pay is pretty decent.
This next week, I have 32 hours! ahhhhhhhhhh
we'll see how this goes....

BAAAAAAAACK
I'm finally back from London!
I'm happy, but kind of sad too.
Anyways, now i have a super long summer to do... nothing!
So, I'm looking for a job, collecting extracted teeth (which is turning out to be much more difficult than I imagined), and dying of boredom in Fairfield!
I got school housing at ucsf though! its like a block away from school, on 5th ave and I got a single room so I'm super happy. I thougth I wasn't gonna get it, but someone cancelled and i actually got lucky. Too bad I gotta move in mid-july and start paying rent then =\
Its so weird being back and not havign to take public transportation everywhere..... driving when gas is 4 + dollars. Also, no brown people. Not having random things to do always... like shopping in fun places!
I got a call back from RALEY's today. that makes me laugh. but i really want a job. I dont care where =D

"I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our educatino, like such as in South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere, like, such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the US should help the US, er, should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

London
Hello! I've been in London for about a week now, I've just been busy getting adjusted and everything.
Queen Mary is actually in the East End of London ... meaning its the eastern part of London. I guess it is notoriously known for signs of poverty and crime, but has gotten much better in the past years. It is home to a lot of the new immigrants who came to London ... so it has a large jewish and bangladeshi and Indian community. (as you walk around there are a million signs that say "HALAL food") Our closest tube station is Mile End and we're also walking distance to Whitechapel which has a lot of cheap street vendors.
I finally got my student oyster card... which gives me a 30% discount on oyster fares (which are already discounted) so I'll be able to actually do all the touristy stuff.
Anyways, school is a little different ... a lot of the classes are only like one final determines you entire grade which kind of scares me - i know i'm gonna fall behind. At least I only have class Monday - Wed. =) Its weird too because lectures for one class may be split up into separate lectures throughout the same day ... so for bio i have class monday 10-11, and then 12-1.
So far, we've just done a lot of shopping... went to ikea and random supermarkets. We also took a little boat cruise that was sponsored by the uni for the new associate students... which acutally wasn't as fun as it sounds - but we did get to see the green laser light at Greenwich that denotes the prime meridian.
More to come later =)
