002. Oh, Mondays.

I hope I am not the only one who enjoys changing straight into their sweats and baggy t-shirt the minute they get home from work. It is the best feeling ever, being in comfy clothes. Because I conveniently made it so I don't have class Monday's, I generally end up working until 5 and then I head out to Tehillah. Nope, not Tequila. It's not a bar or a club. In Hebrew, Tehillah is translated as "The outward, visible expression of praise and worship." Actually, I googled that. I have no idea if it's right or not. But baaasically, it is a modernized church service that is very young adult based. The church that holds the service is pentecostal, but the people who attend Tehillah Mondays are multidenominational. It really is a great place. But, just kidding. If you look at the time, you will see that I am infact not at Tehillah because I being who I am, left an essay to the night before it's due.

See, now this is a problem with me. I have had this minor (except it is a lot more than minor) issue of motivation/procrastination throughout my life. It was the worst in high school. I'm surprised I even graduated after the lack of work I did. I pretty much allowed myself to just slide past high school in whatever form of mediocrity I could get. Taking a year off school not only completely changed my life - This I'm sure will be brought up in a later blog - but it also allowed me to regain an appreciation for school. Now that I go to university, I am doing much better. I actually have completed and handed in all of the assignments on time. I just haven't quite kicked the habit of procastinating.

We are just finishing up this annual sale at work called "Friends and Family." It's 50% off the whole store. Oh, and just incase I ever do get followers who don't know me, I work at a retail store called Urban Behaviour. If you ever get the chance to work there, don't. I've been there for over two years, and apart from the staff that I love with my whole heart, the company is crap. Atleast, in my humble opinion. Moving on, the sale. It was actually pretty dead comapred to the other two years I've been a part of it. I think the economy has definitely had an effect on shopping. I won't deny the underlying reason people aren't shopping. The quality of the clothes are kind of cheap. AND. The way the stuff is sized is ridiculous. The store is obviously meant for small asians. Not that I am trying to offend any asians, but they are generally short and very small. And that is how the clothes are made. If you have ever seen me, you would wonder why I work there. Because I am a giant. I am 5'11, and pretty solidly built. Like I said. The people are outrageously wonderful.

Okay. I really have to stop procrastinating now. OH, WAIT. Let me first also just say that I am extremely proud of my Shoppers purchase on my break today. I have this kind of obsession with lip chap. Chap stick. Whatever the heck you call it. I always get the same kind. Anyway, they had my kind on sale. There were two in a package, and they were selling two packages for five bucks. Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I am all stocked up now, and happy as a clam.

But not really. Because I still have to go write this damn essay. Wish me luck.
