Hey guys!
So yesterday was my last night of work for awhile and I'm kind of bummed. If it was up to me I would have stayed working throughout college, but mother insists that I take a small break to get into the swing of things and then go back in about a month or so. But work has been such a big part of my life lately that I've found myself on a new sleep/wake schedule. I wake up at around 10am and stay in bed/in my room until lunch time unless someone calls and wants to hang out or something. Then I'll usually have work at 3 or 4pm. Lately, I've been hanging out with people after work although my curfew (yes, I'm 18 and have a curfew. It's one of those "you live in my house, you live by my rules" things that don't change even when you're of age) is midnight. So I'm used to not getting to bed until 1 or 2am. Basically, I've been doing this routine for so long that I'm no longer tired after work. My body is preparing to be up for another couple hours after work closes so I have this adrenaline rush. One night, when I didn't do anything after work and tried to go to bed at about 10:30pm, I couldn't. I literally laid there for hours until about 12:30am and then finally fell asleep. It was then that I realized that my body was completely messed up. My internal clock was confused to say the least.
There were also a couple of weeks where I worked almost every night except one or two nights, so this was happening for awhile.
Anyways, after work last night I decided I wouldn't do anything so that I could start out this week of no work with getting some extra sleep. So I came home, watched a show with my lovely mother and went to bed. Turns out my body agreed with me about the extra sleep. I ended up falling asleep by 11 or 11:30 - I'm not sure exactly when it was but all I know is I never saw midnight. I didn't wake up until approx. 11am which, if I did my math right this morning when I was half asleep, is 12 hours of sleep. I was pretty damn proud of myself to say the least. I feel refreshed and am looking forward to getting lots of extra sleep this week before Sunday when I have to move in. Because after that I don't think I'll be getting much sleep for awhile.
Even though I'm glad to have the extra sleep, I'm still sad that I don't get to work for awhile. I'm gonna miss the people, the food, and even the customers sometimes. But mostly the people and food haha. But in a month I'll be back, if only for a couple days a week. That's all I really need though, especially with college starting up so soon. Until then, don't miss me too much Piccola! ;)
