Graduation is coming, and I’m starting to get excited about it. I’ve been going to the same school with the same people for most of my life. I have driven the same dirt road, made the same left turn, and parked in the same spot. There aren’t any surprises here. There are no grand mysteries,…

I went back to work on Friday night. I wasn’t going to. I didn’t know what I was going to do, but I didn’t want to go back there.  Still, I didn’t want to quit without giving my notice, and I didn’t want to leave anyone having to cover for me on Friday or Saturday…

I hung out with Monica, Pamela, and Christy last night. We went over to Monica’s house and watched movies in her living room while doing our Pre-Cal homework. Monica is a Mormon and isn’t allowed to watch movies with cursing or sex, which is funny since the first time I ever saw Pulp Fiction, it…

I called in sick to work yesterday. I’m not going to work today either.  I just can’t. Not after what happened on Monday night. Because, I know I’m not crazy or blowing this out of proportion. I know what happened.  I went in to work on Monday night, and everything was fine. We were slow, but I…

Something is weird. But maybe I’m making a bigger deal than it is. I went in for my shift on Saturday night. Everything seemed to be going fine. We were busy, which I prefer. I don’t like standing around. I like having work to do. And, I like making money. There were moments, though, that…

I don’t know how to start… or, how to keep going with this journal. I started it to share my life at school and home and to talk about going to college. But, looking back at what I’ve written so, all I’ve written about lately is work. And, work is getting so complicated.  Yesterday, I…

Paying attention to the dates, I can tell that I’m falling behind with this little project.  It’s just that it’s been harder to write at lunch. I’m so tired from working in the evenings that I haven’t been able to get my homework done, so I’m playing catch-up during lunch when I’d normally be writing. …

Mr. Despare called me into work on Thursday night, so I didn’t get to go to the football game. Monica seemed pretty mad at me, but I didn’t know how to say no. He called when I was at school, and Momma had already told him I’d come in to work.  I wish that Momma…

I graduate next month. I should’ve sent out my college applications already, but I haven’t.  I’ve been thinking, and I’m just going to apply to the school in town. Everyone at work goes there, and they like it. Besides, it’d be silly to think that I’d be able to go far away to college somewhere.…

I didn’t get a chance to post last Thursday, and now it’s already Monday.  Where to start?  Home. School. Work. That’s about it right now. I am either at home, school, or work. I haven’t hung out with anyone in a few weeks because I have been working evenings and weekends. Monica and Pamela said…
