The Specifics

Chloe hasn’t called me yet today, but we did text message a little last night. I’ll be watching him from June 8th-September 5th from 9am-:4:15pm. She offered me $200/week (which only averages out to about $5/hour), but I said that I’d take it! I know that I could potentially be making three times that (or even more if I went back to waiting tables or bartending), but I’m willing to take that substantial pay cut because watching Julian is something that I want to do. I hate waiting tables. I hate bartending. I hate working late nights. Plus, I think that it’ll be perfect because once Dave and I move into our new place, we’ll be living less than half of a mile from where Chloe and Jeremy live. That means that I’ll save on gas money, will be doing something that I know I will enjoy doing, can go to and from my place or her place whenever I want while I’m watching him, can run errands if I need to, can do my homework if I need to, can hang with Dave if I want to… the list goes on and on. I basically get to live my life during the summer while caring for a child who I already love and I’ll get paid a little for it. I’ll still have my other job on the weekends, so my rent will basically already be covered.

It sounds like a win-win sitation to me!

I just got back from a little run… and I can both hear and feel my heart beating in my head. That’s kind of creepy…

Yesterday afternoon I reviewed the classes that I’ll need to take next semester. I also went through my school’s online registration system to check what times my classes will be offered to get an idea of what my schedule will look like. I discovered that one of my required dietetics courses has a required lab that is only offered one time during the week… from 7am to 11:35am on Tuesdays!! Seven-fucking-AM! That instructor is a total glutton for punishment, I swear to god. I don’t know what she is thinking! I’ll have to leave my apartment by 6:20 on Tuesdays! I’m a morning person, but come on… that is just ridiculous! Ugh, it’s going to be so awful!

Well, I have some minor homework that I need to get done before I can leave for class this afternoon… I’d better get working on it!
