You don't call retarded people retards. You call your friends 'retards' when they're acting retarded

I've been working so much this Summer that I hardly am able to enjoy it! My weeks usually include me working 6 days...and having only 1 day off. Like in July? I had that 16 day stretch. I was tired, sure, but I'm surprised I wasn't dead by the end of it.

I'm not one to call in sick, when I'm not...in other words....playing hookie. I hate when

I always feel guilty about calling in sick when I'm not sick. I've never done it. But I think there's something to be said for taking a "mental health day." We don't consider that as "sick," but if we're going to feel better if we take a day off, then it's almost the same thing as being physically sick. You could also talk to them and tell them that your work schedule is a bit too much and you need to scale back a bit. I always overload myself and then have to remind myself that sometimes a day of not working is worth it, even if I'll lose some money. A day of work may be worth $80 but the feeling of a much-needed day off is priceless.

I remember doing that financial aid stuff. I was really glad I had to my dad to help me through it. It's annoying and a bit confusing. But ultimately, not too bad. It sucks that your computer was acting up. That makes it worse.
