Oh my God, I may have binged an entire season plus four episodes. I'm so worried about our internet... but also I have no regrets because the SHOW IS SO GOOD.
It's always bittersweet catching up to a television series, because you're like 'Yes. Now nothing will be spoiled and I can discuss it with friends.' but then the agonizing week long wait. AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SEASON END COMES? It's torture...
I had two pretty bad experiences at work today. First being that Dan took me out to give me some more lessons on driving standard, and gonna be real I did kill it with the tractors. They're not bad because they're so small and they are just really easy to navigate. The bad part was the 26' straight truck... I was in third gear and I think my foot flinched or maybe I just let go too quickly because suddenly my foot was off the clutch and we were going really fast and I was pretty sure I was going to hit another truck. Dan leaps out of the seat, takes the wheel and pulls on the emergency brake while I am pushing down the clutch and air brake. Dan's actually a really good instructor though, and he told me if he can teach his wife to drive standard he can teach anyone.
The second bad experience happened shortly after, I went to go move a truck and I was backing it up and suddenly another drive honked at me. So I stopped, and started panicking because I was a bit worked up. So then one of the techs came over and was like "I'll help you, move to the passenger side." And I just sat there because - hello anxiety - and Marty was like "Okay, yep, we're gonna move over to the passenger side!" And I just exited the truck, handed him the keys and was like "Thanks Marty" And walked inside and cried.
Truthfully, the experiences weren't awful and they're helpful to learn from. I've only been driving the trucks for a few days and I've been doing a reasonably good job. I'm proud of myself for what I've been able to accomplish. You live and you learn!
Tomorrow is Jeff day! It's a day my friends from school celebrate in honour of our friend Jeff. It's mostly for fun and started off as a joke in first year. This year, since I'm not there to celebrate, I've made him a video that I think is hilarious. I'm pretty excited and it's days like these that really make me appreciative of the friends I was able to make in my not-so-terrible university experience. The tradition involves baked goods, changed profile pictures and just a lot of laughs. I don't expect this year to be any less.
I've been working on a new story I've had in my mind for a while. I'm not getting the flow of it just how I want it to be but I'm glad I'm getting something out. I wrote the first little part on a piece of paper at work and then lost it, but I'm not too worried because I didn't love it and it gives me opportunity to re-write something I like more. It's another young-adult/teen fiction kind of story, I wish I could write more intense and intellectual stuff but I guess its just my fate as a writer-wannabe.
I think I'm going to set an alarm fifteen minutes before Jeff day but I think I'm going to take a power nap. I'm so sleepy!
Also note to self: Remove tea mugs from room in morning so you don't become a mug hoarder/have no mugs to use for tea.
