Update: Work and School

Alrighty, so job wise, I've quit my job at Wendy's, gotten a job at Big Lots, and plan to quit my job at Big Lots. Basically, I've been working at Big Lots for a little over a month or so now and that is one of the worst places to work, or I would imagine it is. The managers are terrible and don't care about the employees at all it seems like. The General Manager of the store doesn't seem that bad, although she doesn't pay much attention and is strict in an inefficient way. The Assistant Manager makes me wonder how she ever got that job. I'm pretty sure she doesn't care about the place or the people at all. She's laid back in a destructive way. Apparently turn over there is WAY higher than even at Wendy's (and that's saying something). The schedule is filled with No Call No Shows and people rotate through there weekly. I started the first day and for the first week I was off late anywhere from twenty minutes to AN HOUR AND A HALF. That's just the first week I worked there, no wonder so many people quit. I talked to the Assistant Manager about that and she said they can't promise anything. So I'm going to quit in August, no, I'm not giving two weeks notice. They don't deserve one. I'll be taking the extra time to focus more on school (going full time now) and to do more with the house and the family and planning for CES.

In school I'm currently taking NM History, Macroeconomics, Logic and Critical Thinking, Intro to Psychology, and Art History. I'm expecting (realistically/ conservatively) an A, B, A, A, C respectively. NM History isn't that bad, it's pretty interesting on it's own, though the instructor makes it somewhat monotonous. Macroeconomics I'm not particularly interested in, and the instructor seems very closed-minded to me. Logic is interesting, but the instructor is more interesting than the material. He has a lot of stories (that LOOSELY tie into the subject matter) that help keep attention on something that could get people lost. Psychology is pretty fun. The setup the instructor has makes it an easy class if you attend the lectures, and she gives plenty of personal examples for the terms and such so it's easy to follow along. Art History SHOULD be an interesting class, but the instructor kills it mercilessly. The tests are pretty hard, he gives us a choice of forty or so slides to study, then he picks twenty and we have to identify artist/ name/ year/ fact about it, in addition to a fifty question multiple choice quiz on the chapters and one or two essays to write as well. I'm getting next terms schedule squared away now. I'm trying not to leave all the maths and sciences until the end.
