I don't want to forget writing about the long grind that started 2 weeks ago. It's finally over and my schedule's back to normal. That grind started because of getting sick. I missed school again and two shifts at work. I had to replace them and worked Saturday and Sunday -- which sucked big time -- and three days of work straight through Saturday in second week. I had no choice but to suck it up and endure school and work altogether. Even when you're sick, you don't get to rest while recovering. That's why you have to take care of your body well. It's the secret. Here in Canada, your body is your motor, and it's truly the asset that you rely.

It was my first time working Saturday and Sunday and I hope it would be the last. It's no fun at all. I'm very glad that it's over. And it's back to Monday. I was supposed to sleep in, but when I checked my course outline, it would really hurt if I miss my classes today. After a snap, I changed my mind.

My bus arrives at 12:21pm, and it was 12:16pm already. I needed at least 2 minutes to run to the bus stop. I was running from adrenaline, my mom was surprised how fast I flew into the bathroom. But I only brushed my teeth, got changed and ran to the bus stop. It was like a movie scene. A comedy one. Even though I took a bath yesterday, I doubt it's good enough, but I don't really care. Hey, I didn't smell.

Today's classes were important -- important enough to make a lazy student like me to change his mind. We were to receive feedback about our ethical dilemma summary, whether it's good enough to write a report on it or not. And my marketing class would assign us our marketing mix report. I popped in my earphones in the bus hoping that Monday will be pleasant for me.

My Ethics in Business Management class indicated that my ethical dilemma is good enough to write a report for it. That means that I don't have to think of a situation where I was involved in an ethical dilemma, a situation where I faced difficult options because each option has its own pros and cons; it's also a situation where the line between good and bad is blurred. As for me, I only have a few ones that I remember, but they're not good enough according to my standards. My professor expects a 9 page report due on June 5.

And there it is. The marketing mix assignment. The biggest assignment for my marketing, worth 25%, when two term tests total 30%. It's big. And demanding. And really annoying. If it weren't for the interview, I'd probably won't have any problems from it. However, it's required to interview a senior manager of a business firm about their marketing mix. Even though it's due on June 26, I still need to figure out who exactly I'd need to interview. At first I thought I could just interview my dad since he's a senior manager, but then it's prohibited to interview someone we know. I just don't want to make a fool of myself interviewing a stranger who's a manager.

Next week is going to be packed and busy, but at least I'm not working on Sunday. May just flew by, huh?

I'm done with half of my 2 week grind. My Saturday shift was brutal. It gave me a headache. I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I already hate working Saturdays, now I have work this Sunday. It's a two week grind, I tell you. It's because I got sick last week and I have to make up my shifts. It'll be my first time to work on a Saturday and a Sunday. Wow. Not excited. And then one day-off on Monday. I'll grind it out again for five days until next Saturday. After that, my 2-week grind is over. I can't wait. I'm really tired. It's not fun at all.

5:07pm. My last class hasn't even started yet, but I'm already feeling sleepy. I want to go home! Or I wish I had a pillow with me.
