I Need Some Help!
So I need some help..
I'm entering a photo contest at a local fair. I have a lot of pictures that I like, but I can only enter like 4 or 5.
So........ here are a bunch of pictures. I would like if you could comment on them and tell me which ones you prefer and why. If you could that is.

My So Called Life...
I don't really fell like writing tonight, but I bugged April to update so I figured I should too.
I'm still working 3rd shift at Mead. We've been on 10 hour days for 5 weeks now. Needless to say, I'm burning out. My day consists of... Leaving for work at 8:10pm, working until 7am, getting home at 7:45am, sleeping until 3:30pm, and doing school work until I leave again. It is just getting really tiring very quickly!
Unfortunately, my adjuster's mom died on Thursday morning. I feel so bad for him, but we are now working 8 hours for a couple of days. We can't work in my department without an adjuster present. So, I've been going in at the normal time now, 11pm, and we've been handpacking for 4 hours. Another adjuster, who is on 1st shift, comes it at 3am. We then go over to our department and work like normal. It's a sappy moment. (An adjuster is the person that runs the machine. He does all the maintenance and adjusting, hence the name!)
I kind of explain what I've been doing: I work in a department called HS1. I'm not sure what it stands for, but that's the name. We have a 4 man crew consisting of three laborers and an adjuster. The three laborers are Elycia (another college student), Michelle, and I. We rotate between three different stations throughout the night. We do different project depending on what is "hot". Currently, we are working on manila drawing pads that are 12x18. We have two people at the beginning of the machine by a convayer belt. They separate the manila and feed them into the convayer belt, which is usually moving at a high rate of speed. The third person is at the end of belt catching the newly packaged drawing pads, putting them in boxes, and putting them through the taping machine.
Handpacking is something completely different and a hundred times more boring. Handpacking is basically fixing stuff that other people messed up. Friday we took 8 five subject notebooks out of boxes, reordered them, put 12 in another box, put it through a tape machine, and stacked it on a skid. I know! It is so exciting, and I got to do it for four hours!
Well, it is 10:30pm, and my sleep is so messed up. I'm so tired all the time! I'm going to bed.

Nocturnal
Well as some of you have heard.. I'm officially nocturnal.. Sunday night (which is my Monday) was my first day on night shift.. or is that my first night and morning on night shift.. anyway it was the first time I worked 9pm-7am..
I'm not completely opposed to working nights.. it is kind of weird to get out of bed at 4pm though.. I'm kinda of sick of 10 hour days though.. I wish it were just 8 hours.. but of course we have to get everything done at the same time and it all has to be done by next weekend.. figures.. I tell you what.. at Mead when it rains it pours!
Well it's almost 9:30 and I have to get ready for work.. yes it is my Saturday and I have to work.. fun fun fun! ugh.. I didn't know I sold my soul to Mead..
