My latest place of employment requires I attend an employee training seminar begining later this morning at ten o'clock. The nightmare ends three hours after noon. Kimmie (a girl I work with) told me to anticipate candy and a Housing and Hospitality Services t-shirt. Excited though I am at that prospect, sitting around for five hours whilst someone informs me about food sanitation and safety in the work environment seems tremendously wasteful, considering I only have one life.
After training I need to finish reading Monkey (which is less than one-fourth of a Chinese epic story) and create flash cards for der Deutsch Klasse. I compiled circa two hundred flashcards each for the terminology and Latin classes. Conjugating verbs and declining nouns worries me little, but the translation homework assignments require extensive review (which I must accomplish at some point Sunday). From eight o'clock tonight until two o'clock Sunday morning I work, then I agreed to cover Andres' eight a.m. to two p.m. shift. If, like a good egg, I complete my studies I shall consider walking to the music building for some concert sung in Latin.
People in varying states of consciousness stumbled into the minimart throughout the late evening/early morning. Many a red eye and half-open mouth saw I. People are putrid.
