Why am I wearing a skirt and sandals on the first rainy/cold day of the year? I cant tell you, but it wasnt because I had knowledge of todays weather.
Happy garbage day!
Every Wednesday is garbage day in the 94596. Streets filled with cans of trash lining the streets. On this lovely morning, I got stuck behind a garbage truck. Man, do those things move slow. You see, I was on my way to school and traffic was coming the other way pretty constantly, so I didn't have the option of just moving around this massive truck to continue my daily route to Monte Vista. So as cars piled up behind me, I patiently waited for the garbage man to scoot along the street and move out of my way. I yelled a little bit, I'm not very patient. He moved, finally, and I went on with my day... Although after that incident everything seemed about four minutes off schedule...
I respect the garbage man, regardless of the fact that he is slow. This poor guy has to go around to every solitary house, by himself, and pick up the waste left behind by families, bring it into his possession, and take it as his responsibility to transfer the stinky-garbage-juice to the dump.
Not really a career you strive for. I'm sure it pays well, though.
When I was a little girl I dreamed of being a vet, a fashion designer, and an astronaut. The one dream that will never go away is being an actress. Its my career choice, actually. I'm choosing for it to be practical. I love to act more than I love the air that I breathe, and I'm not intending on breathing in that stinky-garbage-juice for the rest of my life, I choose to act. It'll happen, and I cant wait to do what I love for the rest of my life.
