people are bitching over beer prices again which means, they've once again spent more money over Easter weekend then they planned. Don't worry though, the next paycheck is only a few days away.

I'm tired and stressed out, I'm sure I am. The last time I was like this was when I was working nights at the hotels and going to school in the day time worrying about my post-undergrad life.

Currently I have school Mondays to Wednesdays, hospital work Thursdays and Fridays and pub work Saturdays and Sundays with gym stuff sprinkled throughout. You'd figure I'd be crazy stressed out having to wake up very early and not having a day off but actually, it's not all that bad.
