Working at a Haunted House

 Shello turtles!

I hope you guys are having a great start to spooky season! So far, working hasn't been too busy, although I may change my mind toward the end of the month. Working in a haunted house is really fun, but I feel like people don't understand that it is an actual job that tests our physical and mental ability. It's really fun, but it's also hard to actually pace yourself so you won't wear yourself out by the middle of your shift. It also takes a lot of strength to not start anything with rude customers. Our mentality is that it's a win-lose situation. You win as a worker because you are still getting paid, and the customer loses because they had a bad time and they basically paid you.

I think the thing I dread most is the long hours on Saturdays. Ticket sales end at 11 p.m. but sometimes, if we're lucky, we'll be getting out at 12 a.m. because the line could be backed up. It's honestly a pain because no matter how many groups they send in, it feels like an eternity. Sometimes my mind starts to wonder and think, "I could've been in bed right now, with my fluffy blanket, watching movies and falling asleep." Then I remind myself that I'm doing it for the paycheck because I need to have some type of motivation, right? Even though it's been a few days, I think it's going to be a good season for Basement of the Dead. I just hope the newbies are going to make it to the end of the season, because they are in for a treat.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Challenges and Experiences in College

 Shello turtles! I had some trouble with my internet the past few days, and my power went out in my house! I apologize for that!  Anyhow, college has been kind of stressful these past few weeks. All my homework keeps piling up on me, and it sucks. I have 4 total classes, but they are 90 minutes each which means more work for me :( It's a challenge to keep my motivation up as is, but at least I'm doing the best I can right now. Anyone have any advice?  But other than that, the cold weather season has begun, and I feel like I'm getting sick. And when I get sick, that makes it even more hard to concentrate in my classes. When I'm sick, I have no energy and I begin to fall asleep. It's horrible! I live in a Mexican household, so if I get sick, it will spread like the plague. And that means my mom will make chicken soup, and I'm not the biggest fan of that :/ I hope your week goes well! Turtles, don't forget to get a good source of vitamin C for this coming winte...

True colors

 Shello turtles. Not too much in a happy mood this week, so I apologize for the depressing post. I cut someone out of my life, and well, I'm not taking it too well. I know that it was for the best, but they were in my life for 2 years. How can someone like that change so much? I should hate them, but I can't. I have some regrets, but they changed into something I can't fix. Sometimes, people will show their true colors to you, and you have to make the complicated decision of whether you handle it or not. So, this is my advice for you: It's perfectly okay to let go of toxic people in your life for the sake of your well-being and happiness. Toxic individuals can drain your energy, create unnecessary stress, and hinder your personal growth. When you surround yourself with negativity, it becomes challenging to maintain a positive mindset and pursue your goals. Letting go of toxic people allows you to create space for positive relationships and opportunities that contribute ...

Challenges & Experiences with the Microtheme

C hallenges & experiences with the Microtheme: As I work on this assignment, I'm feeling pretty confident. But finishing it up is a bit tricky. I'm good at solving problems, and it's something I do naturally. But fitting everything into just one page is tough. I realize not every problem has a neat solution within these limits. It would be so much easier if I can just write everything down and keep it that way. But I have to go back and delete things in order to make in one exact page. I really don't want to delete my work, especially if I know it can help the paper sound better. But I guess those are sacrifices I have to make in order to make this work. I'm just so sad about it! Sharing my thoughts is usually easy for me but making it short and sweet is a constant challenge. It's like trying to end a chat that could go on forever. I love talking about stuff, and I feel like I could keep going without stopping. The same challenge happens when I try to wrap u...
