I started working at The Bookstore on Wednesday! For the time being I will be trained in the café and then on the book floor. I hope that I can eventually work in inventory because they get paid more, and I imagine that I will tire of interacting with people constantly. Also, the company has a strict confidentiality/don't blog about us clause, so I will now refer to it as The Bookstore. Maybe The Book Job. I'll switch it up.
Moral of THAT story is: Training/working in the café is easy because I worked at Starbucks for three years, so it is basically the same thing. I feel competent and useful which are good for the self-esteem.

If there is one thing that I have difficulty tolerating, it is people who constantly make excuses based on how "sick" they are or who are incessantly talking about their various ailments. Itespecially frustrates me when voice majors do this because we all know someone who went to class as often as she could up until a week before she died. Moral of that story: Stop complaining.
With that, I will share something with my dear devoted readers that most of you probably do not know. I have major issues with my back/neck/jaw. Sometimes the tension/pain/whatever is so intense that I can't stay awake (or fall asleep), pay attention, form cohesive sentences, et cetera! I believe it stems from my stress/anxiety issues as well as that one time that I jumped off a 40 foot water tower and landed on my back. That was awesome.
I believe that my stress and anxiety are the main culprits for perpetuating this tension and so I have decided to take action! Yesterday, while coming back from Trader Joe's, I stopped in at GNC and bought "Stress & Anxiety" capsules (which sounds counterproductive, right?) You take one or two "day time" supplements to ease stressful and anxious feelings and one 'nite time" (yes, nite) supplement that helps you fall asleep and is supposed to ease nocturnal anxiety. I also bought "Nighty Night" tea. Can someone rename this please? While at Trader Joe's I also picked up lavender soap and lavender body oil (Sexy, n'est-ce pas?) since lavender is supposed to be a relaxing scent.
Did it work? I am not sure. I greatly enjoyed smelling like lavender all night long, however, I am also experiencing INTENSE itchiness that woke me up at 2am. Sadface. However, I slept straight through until my alarm at 9am, so something good must be happening! Then I spent some time on the couch and stupidly arranged myself in a position that I KNEW would ruin my neck for the rest of the day. RUDE.
I'm also starting a 2 weeks liver cleanse on Sunday with the hope that, by ridding my body of lots o' toxins, I will be less tired and feel less lethargic. Of course, this feeling will probably go away once I get my Rutgers ID and can start using their gym. Being in New Jersey, where one does not have to walk everywhere, makes me feel fat.
OKAY HUGZ BYEEEE
