Some weeks you got it, some weeks you don't.

This week has been a little of both. I had a rough start Monday. And Tuesday. And then Wednesday and yesterday. And today.

Tuesday, I was getting lunch on campus, which turned out to be terrible. I took about two bites, and threw it away. I hadn't eaten anything yet, and was very hungry. But I didn't want to use my card to buy anything else. Remembering that I had some cash on me, I decided to go just off campus to a cheap, but delicious hot dog place. I took my money out of my wallet, and put it into my pocket. (This way I wouldn't have to pull out my wallet and put it back in my bag. I was carrying many things with me, and didn't want to juggle my things in line.) Well, I get to the hot dog place, reach in my pocket, and... my money is gone. It must have fallen out along the way. Six bucks. Gone forever. So, I juggled my things, pulled out my wallet, bought a DELICIOUS hot dog, and got some sustenance. With my gross (first attempt) lunch, my lost money, and the money spent on at JDawgs, my hot dog cost me about thirteen dollars. That's TERRIBLE!

On the up side, maybe whoever found that six bucks really needed it. We are all poor college students here, after all.

Wednesday, I woke up without a voice. It gradually came back during the day, but it still wasn't great.

Yesterday, I had no voice at all. I woke up, and couldn't even clear my throat!
And I had to work last night-- in charge of an event. So, I hoarsely shouted directions, and tried to avoid chatting with customers. Then, I hopped onto another banquet to serve food and give (some) directions there, too. By the end of the night, my throat was SO tired.
On the upside, I'm getting promoted again at work. The basketball games are coming up, and my boss(es) want me to be a captain on one of the events at the game. I was promised that these would be the only events that I would work because they are so frequent.
So, I gave my consent. Temporarily.

The thing is, I would like to get a job as an editor on campus. That job would pay more, and my hours wouldn't be so crazy. In fact, they'd be a lot better.

So, I'm going to look around. And if I find a editing job that will take me on, I'm going to go for it. Until then, I'll be Captain Karen at Catering. (Well, after I'm trained, that is.)

Today, I'm taking it easy. One of my classes was canceled this afternoon. And I've decided to skip my other afternoon class to get some rest. I'm working late tonight, and very early tomorrow morning.
Since I'm voiceless and or croaking, and coughing, I thought that I'd try to rest, and get some homework done to prepare me for next week.

Wish me luck, friends! (And health!)
