I feel like I've been gone for far too long. After tonight, much to update on and I'm just overall excited to share about it. If you don't wanna read, at least go to the link at the bottom of my blog. SO worth it.
School started back on Thursday. I have been a business major for a while. I'm good at it, but I don't enjoy it at all. I had been debating on switching to Evolutionary Biology because I love all of that stuff. Well...my semester started with the following...American Lit, Bio II, Business Ethics, and Business Functions. 30 mins into my two hour Business Functions class, I knew right away that I was definitely not taking that class. So went home and dropped it right away. It was the worst two hours I've had in along time. So I added PreCalc. Because if I wanted to do Evolutionary Bio, I would need Calc I/II, Physics I/II, Chem I/II, Ecology, Genetics, and Ecology. I wanted to do it, but that seemed like an overwhelming amount of shit to take and didn't know if I had it in me to do it. And it was eating at me all weekend. But it dawned on me from what a co worker said when I mentioned I loved fossils and stuff and that's what I like. He said why don't I minor in Archaeology? Well, wait a minute? I'm an idiot! Why don't I major in that stuff?! So I moved my Bio lab to another day, dropped Business Ethics and PreCalc, added Anthropology and Spanish. So now I have American Lit, Bio II, Anthropology, and Spanish. And will only be 5 classes away from transferring after this semester. I feel on top of the world right now. So pumped for this semester now. I now get to sleep in every day of the week. And I'm going to be doing something I really enjoy. I wish you all knew how excited I am for this. However, I have to return my books and get new ones, but oh well. That's the nature of it I guess.
Need a new amazing band? Persaeus is from here in Knoxville. Some friends of mine. And Alex Wade of Whitechapel is producing them. Such good dudes who deserve a listen. I know they might not be your style, but I love them and they deserve some support.
I think stress over school has been affecting my job also. I feel like I have been stressing way too much over work. But someone at work said this to me "I let work stress me out for along time. But you just have to look at it as just a temporary part of your life that will eventually be gone." And it's true, in due time I will not have to deal with it. But I have realized some of the things that I don't enjoy anymore. My company is getting away from the customer service that we are so well known for. Our old CEO knew the ropes VERY well. He helped start theaters and run them. Our current CEO has been in that position for about a year and a half, and she cares about numbers, not exactly the customers. We had free candy Mondays and free popcorn Tuesdays. And our stocks were low, so costs were cut majorly including employee hours in order to raise capital of the company so our stocks could be higher than our number 1 competitor. They went to dollar candy Mondays and dollar popcorn Tuesdays. Then they switched it so they could only use the coupons ON that day as opposed to saving it. Now it's two dollar candy Mondays and two dollar candy Tuesdays. They keep cutting costs everywhere. We have to constantly keep tight staffing hours and then when we have lines from being understaffed, the higher ups get upset. We are getting away from the customer service aspect of putting the customer first. And I don't like that.
I don't mean to end on a bad note. But I started off with a ton of good. Enjoy the following
Epic win of epicness. Read it all. It's SO worth it!

Oh you have no idea. If anyone that knew me would have seen me, they quite honestly wouldn't have recognised me. After she shouted at my mum that she was stupid there was no way I was going to just stand there and let her disrespect her like that. I have held my tongue for the best part of 2 years and it was a long long time coming. I really could have killed her. That's how angry I was. It saddens me that I have let someone get under my skin so much that I actually hate them and could behave that way, and in any other circumstances, I could probably ignore it. But when its about my niece and her welfare, theres just no way.
