(okay i'm not counting the stars so don't mind the unevenness of the ratings, it's not accurate actually because i loved everything)
i'll post up pics soon, i took more than 2000 pics this break...i'll have to pick and choose before posting them up haha

There's this song that goes something like "what a difference a day makes, 24 little hours"..i feel like millions of things has happened even though on the top of my head i can only list out 10. I feel like more friendships have been strengthened, my families have once again become even closer...my "social/cultural" experience have been enlightened....just so many things. i loved every BIT of this christmas break....except for the part where i haven't been getting enough sleep and i have infinity zits on my face right now, and that i'm falling asleep everywhere i go.

let us now talk about my lack of sleep.
(this is just one of the many examles) So on point #8, i was celebrating steph's birthday got home super duper late, and the next day i had to work at 8..so i slept SO little, the next day i was literally asleep while i was folding my clothes (standing up!). I tried to face the mirror while i was folding so i could see my "fall asleep" face..haha i couldn't even rememeber what i looked like..just funny. and ridiculous. Then yesterday while i was babysitting i fell asleep watching dr.phil (I NEVER FALL ASLEEP WATCHING DR PHIL!), and i started drooling oozes and puddles of saliva.
i am just glad i didn't fall asleep during class today :) i did briefly fall asleep standing up in the subway this morning. i'm cool. not.

let's also talk about my unhappy state with work.
I've been working a loot during the break, i work at Jacob..this retail store at the mall (duh). It's one of the hottest stores at markville (literally SAUNA HOT). During the break it was even hotter becuase of all the customers, our body heat radiated towards each other, making each other sweat (EWWW!) I have this strict manager that won't let us interact or even talk..so it makes it worse. I swear everytime i go to work, all i could think of is a) I WANT TO QUIT b) when is this minute done? (i'm waiting for MINUTES to pass by) c) i want to quit (i already said it haha)
....i figured if quitting is all i could think of while i'm working, perhaps i should quit. haha. I'm constantly reminded of labourers in developing countries, my working condition is of course 9999999x better than theirs, but talk about tediousness and the mundaneness of doing repetitive things, i could quit whenever i want but they have no choice. anyway. bottomline is, i want to quit. I feel like whiny baby, always complaining, but now i finally understand why they're ALWAYS hiring, it's because of the crappy "weather" in there, and the not allowed to talk- everybody's quitting. I love my coworkers, but if i couldn't dance and talk with them during work like with the other manager (who *ahem* quit) then i don't really want to work anymore. Maybe that's what i'm most unhappy about, the lack of communication, i'm just such a social beast that i want to social with everybody. just kidding, now i sound like a monster.
Positive things about working there...my coworkers, one of my coworkers is the coolest girl ever. We dance (like stupid dance) during work and we talk to tables and clothes and hangers. We also talk to customers with different accents, and we also talk to each other in different accents. So fun. i love her. oh astrid, she's so cool. What else...well i love the part where i get to interact with customers, but lately i've been so consumed with the idea of quitting that i really stopped bothering, which is bad.

I guess that's enough with work.
