Too much responsibility, work, no time spent with friends, and not enough free time makes a sad Orin.
My job is... Truly mediocre. Of course, it could be a lot worse--and I've had a lot worse--but there's just something about standing around for eight to ten hours a day that gets cumbersomely boring. Last night I resorted to reciting Shakespeare and old play lines just to keep myself mildly entertained. I picked up another shift today so that I could make more money... but that also means that I have to sacrifice my free time.
Urg.. This whole self-reliant thing isn't made for someone with an imagination. Especially working where I do--I see people having fun and enjoying their day, and then I have to stay there and serve them.
Ah, well. Life could be worse. Its just... Very monotonous. I thought things would be more interesting. I can't wait to get back to school, where there's stuff to do and people to talk to... Plus I'll have the most awesome roommate ever this coming year, I'm pretty excited for that. That'll definitely break the hum-drum state of mind I've slipped into.
Truth is, too much time at work gives me too much time to think. I wish I could be more busy to pass the time faster, so that I don't have time to stand there and go over every single mistake I've made in my life in my head.
Ah, well. Just a little update. I'm still here. I have ideas for poems, but I don't really have the time or energy to convert them into concrete ideas yet.

Hope all is well.
