As summer is coming to a close, all I can think is GOOD RIDDANCE. Seriously though, having a job with no air conditioning and constantly prompting you to go outside for leveling trailers or hooking them up, fetching vans and the like is not pleasant when the sun is trying to melt your skin off.
I'm trying to help customer's on their rental contracts, sweat just falling down my face like a waterfall. I'm trying to catch droplets before they land and explode like mini assault bombs on the contract below. "Excuse me," I say to the customer, SLOSH SPLOSH SWIPE wiping the sweat off and just making my cheeks more flustered and my bangs stick to my forehead in a sopping mop of hair. And the looks on the customers' faces... shocked, surprised, a little scared, and mostly concerned. Of course it doesn't help that I'm drinking bottles of water in between contracts, it's just like refueling the sweat glands. But you know, I just work there.
Haha, anyway work has been an adventure. Though I thought I needed more love in my life and a lot less sleep. So I took a job has a night-time mother's assistant. The mother of new born twin boys to be exact. The family I work with is really nice, honestly I couldn't ask for better home employers. And the little munchkins are adorable. I just have given up on sleeping through the night while I am there, which is totes understandable because I am literally paid to get up with the little men in the middle of the night. And I can sleep during the afternoon. Most of the time. Glass half full, my summer school semester was pretty much said and done by the time I started pulling all nighters, so I don't have to stress over that anymore.
I won't actually have to stress over school anymore for a while, well except for the school of life. But it is kind of hard to ignore those lessons. It's been quite a journey for me to come to this decision. And it's still hard to maintain my firmness in choice because of everyone telling me to "just finish your degree" or "why aren't you taking classes next semester?". Psshhhhhhh. My mom has supported me though, she says if I'm not invested in it, or if I'm not going to use my degree, it is a waste of time and money to finish. Which I completely agree. And honestly, I already have an Associate's Degree, so it's not like I am at the bottom of the barrel. I just, feel like it's a waste to me. I can always learn and grow without paying $5000 a semester. Which for your information is like 92,500 pesos. That's a lot of pesos.
Now you guys might not be interested in pesos or the conversion rate from the USD.... but I am. Because I will be moving to Mexicooo come December. Now if you would have asked Past Aimee if she ever thought she would be moving to a different country, that spoke a different language, and had different cultural aspects, she would have laughed because that's what she does under pressure in where she doesn't know how to act. "I laugh when I get nervous."
However, if you were to ask Future Aimee, she would already be there haha.
Present Aimee couldn't imagine Future Aimee anywhere else.
I met a Mexican, we became friends. Later I fell in love with him. We are getting married, I'm moving to Mexico, I know Spanish. I have a whole family down there. Puff... The happenings are happening fast.
I always knew my mission would change my life... I just was completely unaware to how much it would change.
