Summer and school shouldn't mix

Ah summer. Remember summer? Back in elementary school when summer actually meant something different? Not just you doing the same old thing that you always do just with hotter temperatures. Now it's still the same work everyday and school. Yes summer school. It used to be you only had to worry about it if you did poorly during the school year. Now you pray that the one class you need to keep you on track will be taught in the summer. It's most likely not but if it is it will be Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday from 11:45 to 1:22. At the Davis campus. Ok so mines not that bad. It's online. But the other one I wanted to take was at the Davis campus on tuesdays and thursdays from 5:30 to 8:10. That doesn't sound too bad until you throw my stupid work schedule into the mix. I know I know I should just be happy that I have a job with more hours than I want. Lots of people don't even have a job. But honestly some days I think this job will be the death of me. I can't even tell you really what the problem is. I just feel like the life force is being sucked out of me. I wish I could be a full time student. I'm jealous of my sister. So jealous. She started college right out of high school so she's going to be done this next winter. She works part time and goes to school full time. Me I work 50 hours a week and try to fit school in there somewhere. It's been so long since I did full time school, I'm afraid I've forgotten how. I know that sounds silly. I'm just in a very strange place in my life.
