Hellllloooooo you!
Ok so as I have been on crutches I feel as if the world has come to a stop. I know that this may seem a little overboard but it really is true. During the summer i have been working two forty hour a week job averaging about 77 hours per week. I know that seems like a lot and may be asking yourself, Why God why?, but the reason is for money. I am going to be extremely busy next year and will not have much time to work and thus I want to make a lot of money to save in the mean time. I have been able to put a lot of money away and thus it has all been worth it. However, having the next two weeks off because of me bummed leg has been incredible.
I have honestly not minded working so much because one job and is slow paced and one stressful. Admissions is a little calmer and waiting tables gets me stressed out of my mind but they are a great balance of different types of jobs. I thoroughly enjoy doing both and I believe that is why I am able to stay so motivated and able to work 16 hour days!!!(5 days a week) But having these days off lets me know how much rest my body has needed and maybe the leg sprained itself because it was over worked. But I have already read one book, I have slept so many hours a night, inlcuding naps it is ridiculous, and now I am able to spend the last two weeks with my friends before they go home.
The reason is that all of my friends are leaving by August 3rd because they are all done their summer work here by then. However, as a tour guide, we are needed up the week before classes start, but then I am up here with all the oleaders the same day, and thus I remain here for the entire summer. So it is nice that for at least the next week I will be able to hang out with my friends and enjoy a couple of weeks of summer before they all leave, so this was really a miracle in disguise. Yes the pain is bad and the crutches make me physically sore on the arms and bruises of the arm pits, I really needed a break from all the work and this was the body's way of telling me...at least that is what I believe. However, I can also not give tours so sitting in the office with nothing to do is hard too, I feel bad most of all.
It is also nice through all of this that I took care of myself with help from friends. I can not drive my car with the bummed leg so friends have been taking me around and they all have been helping me out greatly. I remember my first alliot dinner with crutches one of my friends just asked me what I wanted and grabbed all my food for me witout me asking him. All of my friends have been great and I really appreciated how great they all have been. But of course, my mother is worried and coming to visit me today and take me out to dinner. So I haven't quite left the nest yet, but I'm gettin close!!!
