No, I'm not a single mom trying to raise five kids by myself.
I'm just a bit insane.
It's been really fun though. I love going to school suffice waking up at 5:40 every morning. School ends around 2:30 everyday. I head to Silver Spring to bake cookies at Alchemy for Carla Hall from 3:30 - 8 pm. If I get there early, I take a quick nap in the car before I go in. On school nights, I don't get home until about 8:30. I have dinner, shower, and attempt to do homework. But once I open that computer screen, I want to PASS THE EFF OUT. And I do. It usually happens around 10:30/11 pm. This is my Monday through Thursday schedule.
Now, one would think I would want to rest my mind, body, and soul from Friday through Sunday. But I'm working my 6 am - 2 pm shift at Atwater's on those days. Did I already mention I'm crazy? Even though I'm working on those days, though, I still feel like I'm having my "weekend". Work is usually a breeze and I enjoy doing it. Making pies, baking poundcakes, glazing tiny bites, icing cupcakes, packing cookies.
It was taking a toll on my body at first, but I think it's getting used to it, weird enough. It's funny to step back and think about it sometimes. I don't think I'm a workaholic. It's this weird drive and anxiety I have. Like I would be missing out on something if I didn't work. I wouldn't even know what to do with my free time.
The more I think about it, it's an even more incredible feat that I am able to fit in my (extremely extensive) homework in my off time. Although, my secret isn't so much a secret: I do my homework during lecture, and I can't quite figure out why my classmates haven't jumped on the bandwagon. My typing is probably three times faster than my writing. I already have 3/4 of my work done at school, so when I get home, I simply just have to review and look over my notes.
But man, I really do love taking naps!
