Summer Relaxation? I Think Not!

My dear readers,

I am so sorry to have abandoned you for such a long time! And it would have been longer still since I am dead tired and just want to go to sleep right now. But alas, I will write for the sake of your (and possibly my) sanity.

I. Am. Exhausted. I don't know why but this last week has been crazy! It's most certainly not what I envisioned my summer would be! I have yet to scratch a single item off my Summer To-Do List (!!! MAJOR RED FLAG!) I have not made a schedule of my week and I seem to live at my job. I've done 8 hour shifts for the past three days! Sure it'll pay off next week when we get our checks but I didn't really think my boss would take me seriously when I said he shouldn't fear working me like an animal (what the heck was I thinking?) Not only that but I always seem to manage to find things to fill up the time before my next shift and sleeping. 

For example on Friday I went to work and then went to the ever-so-popular Chipotle with a friend. After that we went on to go and see Transformers with Emma and Mersal. The movie would have been good had I known what was going on...plus we had terrible seats (way up in the front row!) and all I could focus on was how the actors clothes kept on changing throughout the film. (Yes, I am aware that people change clothes everyday thankyouverymuch, but I have no idea how Rosie Huntington-Whiteley went from stilettos to brown boots to grey flats in less than 5 minutes) Oh and the movie was 2 and a half hours so please don't ever ask me to review it because it was an experience I did not really enjoy!

Yesterday I came home after work for the first time ever to an empty house. It was pure bliss! I can honestly say that I haven't been home alone since like April when my Grandma, niece and sister all moved in. It reminded me of the beginning of sophomore year when I had like no after-school commitments, Valeria didn't get home until 4:30 and my parents were both at work. What better way to enjoy time alone than with a movie and ice cream? Unfortunately my movie selection was not-so-great (hmm there seems to be a trend) i watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was weird!!! I was enjoying it up until the part where Tim Curry comes out in fishnets to sing "Sweet Transvestite". The movie just turned creepy and eerie after that. There was a scene where some poor bloke (he he I'm already building up my British vocab!) named Eddie gets hacked to pieces with a pick ax in a freezer! Scary stuff.

After today's incredibly long shift I went over to Emma's for...well to be honest I'm not sure what it was but it was like a little dinner party. There was nachos and then a barbecue meal followed by some cupcakes (yum) and a good Game of Apples to Apples where I sadly only got ONE green card (you need seven to win and there where 8 other people playing, everyone else had at least 3 cards by the time the game was over).

So that's my little weekend update for you guys. I'm sorry I am not writing as much but I just don't know where to find the time. I've made a mental schedule for next week and it already seems packed. Summer relaxation where are you?

UYL,
Andre

Andre!

You have unfortunate movie luck (and good to know transformers wasn't that good, although the seat thing might have just made it worse, haha)! You should definitely watch I am Number Four (if you want action) or She's the Man (if you want comedy). Two of my favorites! (Why would you even attempt Rocky Horror Picture Show? I think I got that for Christmas and returned it :/)

Where do you work? Is it fun? Take time this summer to have fun, even if you're busy. Although, I have to say that I'm usually having the most fun while I'm busy... whatever.

We should start commenting on each other's blogs and keep in touch! This is a great way to know someone out there is reading too! :)
