*dIVa*

Beyonce is doing her "thang." She is taking over the world with her voice. She dropped Destiny Child and began her own singing career. That's how it tends to play out; groups break up and one of the members go on to start their own career. This is the theme song for all woman in the world. We are divas and the boys know it so say it "I'm a Diva." I love singing this song it's one of the songs that I know the words to. If you are one of my good friends you would know that I don't know the words to a lot of songs. So its a miracle I know this one. Lamo!
The song Diva is good but the video sucks. I was looking for a bang. The video for her song Single Ladies was good so I was expecting to be amazed at her Diva video.I wanted to see some bang out dance moves like the ones she did in Deja Vu. Now you can't tell me those weren't good because I know you can't do them. I know I can't I can't even bend my back back like she didi in the video.

HOUSE

What can I say? It's the most craziest show in the world. It is a show about how a doctor takes on cases with people who have infections or diseases that can't be detected easily. It will have your heart racing because the patients look as if they are going to die but the majority are saved. This doctor is rude and sarcastic but he is one of the best doctors around the world. The senarios in the show is nothing you would ever expected. How do producers make this stuff up? It would take me 20 years to come up with stuff like that.
On one episode the doctor tells one of the co-workers that he's leaving the hospital until he decides to stay at the hospital. I know I know that doesn't sound so bad but he had a patient that was sick. If this was in real life his ass would not leave the hospital espeacially if I was the one that was sick. He would be at the hospital 39/11 until he fixed me. His home would be the hospital. If you having seen this show you have to see it. You should just go buy the seasons and once your done watching it you should give them to me so I can watch them.

Skin

The epidermal layer of the skin is made up of 4-5 layers. Ascending upward to the surface they are: Stratum Basale, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Granulosum, (Stratum Lucidum), and Stratum. The epidermal cells are born in the stratum basale and they move all the way up to the surface we see, the stratum corneum. They flatten and make up 20-30 layers. The stratum corneum provides a durable overcoat for the body, protecting deeper cells from the hostile external environment from water loss, and rendering the body relatively insensitive to biological, chemical, and physical assaults. As the cells move to the surface (from the push and shove of the new cells generating), they flatten AND die. Another thought: Cells and tissues all begin from within. The stratum basale is the site of regeneration and as it moves out, cells die.

So the skin that we first see, and a lot of times judge people, by is DEAD SKIN CELLS. It amazes me how the basis of what we judge others on is based on something that is dead. As humans, this is silly of us to do, but it happens to everyone, all the time. We judge people's beauty, or lack thereof, based on this outer skin layer made up of dead skin cells. This shouldn't be the case. Also, it's interesting how the body is made: from the inside out. So, this just really goes along with the saying, "Beauty lies within."

90210

This past week's episode of 90210 was interesting. Ethan was driving, while talking on the phone, and got in a car accident. Although he wasn;t severely injured, he hit another car which left the girl in the hospital with a punctured lung. It was completely his fault, so of course he felt completely guilty of his carelessness. Because of this, he goes above and beyond to apologize to her and look after her while she is in the hospital. When he first goes to see her, he does not know this girl; but come to find out, this girl not only goes to the same school as him, but is also in one of his classes! Is it shady that he is only NOW showing interest in her because he almost killed her? Why hasn't he ever paid any attention to her prior to the accident happening?

This just shows how much people can get so wrapped up in their close circle of friends and not widen out to meet new people. It's a shame that it took an accident for him to realize this, but at least he now sees that he should take interest in everybody, not just the same people he's always assoctiated with. I think college is the perfect time to take advantage of widening out. Meeting new people plays such a big role in your life and contributes to the person that you become. Instead of being like Ethan and wait till something tragic happens, we need to meet new people now.

Hello Eternal.

Hello Eternal is a new, upcoming, local band from Harker Heights, TX. Band members include: Tyler Hoxworth, Keith Tackett, Sam Billow, David Koloroutis, and Corbett Hoxworth. Although they are fairly new, they have already gotten in some recording time in Austin and have two upcoming shows. All of these boys are very well musically-inclined. David, I know, has been in previous bands before getting involved with this current group and I have enjoyed listening to all of their music. This particular band is considered to be hard-rock, but David has been known to hold a few solo acoustic shows as well.
The two shows that they have coming up are February 21, 2009 and February 28, 2009. The one held on the twenty-first is going to be at The Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, TX and then the on that is going to be on the twenty-eighth will be at The Music Vault in Harker Heights, TX. Tickets can be bought now for eight dollars, or bought at the door for ten dollars. Even though there are no upcoming acoustic shows mentioned, they are usually promoted by word of mouth and performed at Java Jo's in Killeen, TX. These boys are extremely talented.

"The Sculptor's Funeral"

"The Sculptor's Funeral" is a short story by Willa Cather. It is literally about a sculptor, Harvey Merrick, who has died. The story takes place back in his hometown where the townspeople are awaiting the arrival of his body. During this wait, the townspeople talk negatively about Harvey. They don't praise his accomplishments and honor his life; instead, they speak harshly of his leaving town and in a sense, make fun of his life. Even his family share this same mentality. His sister acts very nonchalant and his mother is more enraged of how he is returning town, not sad that she just lost a son.
The attitude of the town says much about the people who make it up. Their society is so fixated to such a confined idea, that the thought of someone from their town leaving and making a better life for themselves is crazy. Because Harvey got the courage to leave and become an amazing sculptor, makes him a target for the townspeople to talk down on. In all actuality, they envy him. Although his life ended in a literal death, the townspeople killed him figuratively long before that tragedy. It's a shame when this happens, because people in the world today are also guilty of doing such a thing.

Pennsylvania

My best friend moved to Pennsylvania this past summer. Even though she is a Texas girl, she seems to like Pennsylvania pretty much. She tells me about the stores there, the roads, the city life, the people, the weather, everything. They don't have H-E-B, Jack in the Box, or Sonic. But they have different places like Acme, Giant, and Cheeseburger in Paradise. The roads there are mostly one-lane roads and very windy. Also, they get a lot of snow there than Texas gets. Winter lasts longer there too.

Hearing all these things makes me interested in not only Pennsylvania, but also many other places in the world. Just in the United States, so much can be different between states. Just think about the rest of the world! That is why this summer, I plan to take a trip up there and visit my best friend. It'll be fun experiencing a new place and seeing the lifestyle of the northeast. I'm glad I'm going during the summer because I don't think I could handle the extremely cold winter up there.

TAKS

For the past years the TAKS has been pushed more and more by the district. TAKS tests students on the four core classes. It is very important because colleges look at the scores. As of this year, fifth graders have to pass the TAKS to move on to the next grade level. Some might fail because they did not receive the extra help they needed, and teachers work so quickly going over TAKS skills that students do not remember the information or methods they are taught. There is tutoring in the morning and afternoon but some students are not able to attend.
When you become a senior there are four chances given to pass the TAKS before graduation. If the students do not pass the test they do not graduate, even though they pass all their classes and have enough credits. This could possibly make students drop out of high school. So, to increase the amount of students passing the TAKS, everyone should be requires to take a TAKS class or have more practice in their classes. The more practice students get, the more likely they will pass. In addition, the students know they fail, which may lead to a lack of confidence. It can be helpful if everyone shows encouragement to the students.

Absent Policy

As far as the issue concerning the absence policy, it is suggestible that it is completely illogical. Setting a number in stone that describes the absences cannot be exceeded without losing credits. It is unfair to determine beforehand how many days of school a student can miss without first knowing the circumstances for what reason they missed the days. According to the current policy, if a student acquires too many unexcused absences in one class, that student does not receive credit. This is unrealistic when you truly consider it. A more sensible concept would be to base credit solely on the grades received. If a student passes their classes and understands the material, the district should not use the students’ absences as a deterrent of whether or not they are given credit.
The district should not decide if the student gets credit just because they missed more than ten days out of thirty-six weeks. There is absolutely no logic in this theory. There are one hundred and eighty school days in thirty-six weeks, not excluding the holidays. If the specifications of this policy are taken into consideration, people can only miss one-eighteenth of school, which is barely enough time to recover from two illnesses. Another reason is students are only allowed to have three parent notes per nine weeks. Students may get sick more than three times. Everytime they become ill, does not mean they go to the doctor. Many stay home and get better because they do not have medical insurance. If they have used their three parent notes already, it is still considered an unexcused absence. When you turn eighteen everything changes. Your credits and ability to graduate can be taken away after five absences.

Leadership

Edwin H. Friedman believes, “Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future.” Leadership is the simple fact of applying your knowledge and ethics to something positive. With that you express the knowledge through your actions by involving the members and community. Through my years in high school I have contributed my time and ideas to organizations, eventually becoming a leader to the school and community by carrying myself in a proper manner.
Having leadership takes dedication, honesty, and tolerance. As a leader I am open to a variety of people and have realized that we are all alike. Being in organizations has improved my leadership skills by giving me the confidence to give speeches and make good decisions on behalf of my members. When making decisions, I’m sure to input the ideas of others and not just my own. Through my experiences, I have learned ways to handle different situations, such as officer’s duties or even an error in a fundraiser. Leadership has given me the ability to teach others and make the world a better place.

Diabetes

Diabetes has been around since 1500 B.C in ancient Egypt. The Egyptian physicians found the symptom polyuria, frequent urination. They treated the symptom by sticking to a strict diet of wheat grains, grapes, honey and berries. Diabetes was known also in ancient China, Japan and India. Susruta, a doctor in India around 400 B.C believed the disease made people produced honey. “ He noted that the urine of a person with diabetes attracts flies,” indicating that the urine was sweet.
In the Dark Ages most of the knowledge of diabetes was lost until the Renaissance period started to develop. Paracelsus, a Swiss physician, evaporated the urine of a person in the sixteenth-century and mistakenly thought it to be salt. In 1766 Matthew Dobson proved chemically that the sweetness of the urine was due to the presence of sugar. Doctors soon began to taste their patients’ urine to determine whether sugar was presented until early nineteenth-century.

Overprotection

Most children feel their parents overprotect them; however, they fail to realize that it’s only the love they have for them. Parents only want to protect their kids from harm but they can’t protect them from life. Overprotecting could effect a child’s social development. Parents who do not intend to overprotect, do so anyway. They just do not want their children to make the same mistakes they did. As kids make mistakes, they learn from them and mature into young adults. In denying the ability of their children to make their own choices, the parents cripple their children’s decision-making skills. When the children are ready to experience life choices as adults, they find themselves with complicated decisions.

By overprotecting it could eventually block their growth to their own identity. They wouldn’t know how to interact with peers. Social outcasts as adults may lead to unproductive lives and futures.

Music in Education

Imagine being suppressed and confined, trapped in a small hole in the wall with no hope for a brighter future, no singing, no laughing, and no music. Now, visualize this terrible place but try to see yourself being a mere five years old. At such a young age interaction and hands on learning are essential. Elementary school without music is like a jazz album without a trumpet, you will never get the full experience. Fortunately enough, I never had to experience such a dull and solemn environment.
My kindergarten music instructor Mrs. Kirkpatrick was the epitome of an exceptional teacher. She influenced my love for music in such a way that allows me to influence others in the subjects that I love. The musical activities she incorporated into her lesson plan allowed us to learn team building strategies as well as communication with peers. The creativity that was accomplished in her music theatre was eventually transferred into the classroom where the core subjects were taught.

N-word

When I hear the N-word (Nigger; also known as Nigga, My Nig, or as Snoop Dogg so eloquently puts it, My Nizzle) in everyday conversation, a sense of pride is not my first thought, yet instead I feel a shriek of terror run cold through my veins. Some dictionaries define the N-word as a slang term of offense, meaning a victim of prejudice; regarded as contemptible or inferior and most dictionaries do not even have the word written inside due to the vulgarity and the issues of our countries past that have come along with the N-word.
According to an uneducated user of the word it represents a term of endearment and familiarity, but I beg to differ and I feel that the N-word will never stop being used. The utterance of such a derogatory idiom from my own lips ended only a few months after my high school graduation after I realized what it really meant. I decided that I would no longer limit myself to such ignorant vocabulary, but instead find a word to substitute for the use of the N-word.

Fuging Machine (2008)

Stephen D. Emmons, the composer, wrote Fuging Machine as a dedication to his friends who collaborated with him to accomplish his music. The audience could tell that the players enjoyed playing this song. The players may have enjoyed the song because they knew it was the last song of the concert. Seeing the fun the players had in this piece made the audience have more interest in the work. Fuging Machine is about a machine in a factory that spends its life making widgets.
After awhile the machine discovers that it can construct fugues. In the middle the machine expands into a full fugue, breaking away from just making widgets. By the end the machine returns to making widgets, but its existence is enriched by its new ability. The mechanistic music is developed by the clarinet. All instruments that perform during the concert joined together in Fuging Machine. The instruments all played an important part to produce the sounds that never repeated. The sounds give an image of various birds chirping.

Mahogany

Mahogany is another basic love story between two people. The movie ends on a happy note when Brian and Tracy are reunited. In the 1970’s it was interesting to watch love stories but now it is not as popular. Finding love does not usually happen in real life as love stories are demonstrated in movies. Today people enjoy action, adventure and comedy in movies. Watching Mahogany will send people who do not enjoy love stories to sleep, actually they will just turn it off.
They illustrate that poor black women have to lower their standards and let the white men run over them to succeed in life. Tracy allows two men to treat her like a dog. The men are willingly to help her achieve her dreams without any money the only request is that they want her body. With no family around except her aunt and knowing the hardships life has for the black society she allows them to control her body. She is sexually abused in a physical and mental psychological way.

Vermont people

Vermont was the state of freedom, equality and opportunity. During the Revolution it was a democrat society that abolished slavery, had a suffrage for men in all races, granted men and women the right to leave abusive marriages, and had a religious tolerance and promoted literacy and enterprise. Democracy brought struggle for independence and would keep them in turmoil for another half-century. Before the revolution churchgoing parents controlled and discipline their children. As the revolution grew the young people became more involved with mischief, alcohol, tobacco, gambling and sex. Parents became more becoming stricter on discipline, supervising and converting the young. Churchgoing youngsters frustrated churchgoing adults because of their behavior and relapse of sins.
It was not normal for churches to accept young people as full members. Until the kids were twenty-one the parents controlled their lives. In Vermont they believed relatives, neighbors and fellow church members could handle young people because parents sometimes didn’t correct their children’s misbehavior. People who converted early usually relapse several times. Most young people who converted committed sins secretly. They consisted of wasting time, gossiping, daydreaming about parties and courting and fishing. Young people who didn’t practice the same views of their parents usually left the church the parents attend. After the Revolution, Vermont would let young people mature before they tried to convert them.

Puritans

Puritans believed sex was to be committed after marriage, sex before marriage was a sin. It was common in New England, for many cases of sexual offenses from fornication, rape, adultery and more. Puritans believed god created a man and woman so they could be joined together in marriage. Puritans saw that women were a necessity and that man should not be alone. All the views of sexual intercourse came from New England clergies, leaders of the community and the most religious puritans.
Being a puritan the love or sex for one another could not inferred with your religion. Marry couples were to glorify God; marriage was seen as a way to get closer to God. Puritans passed laws to punish those who couldn’t resist the sexual intercourse before marriage; they saw these laws as the commands of God. Adultery was punished by death and fornication by whipping. The most sexual cases were adultery and fornication.

The Economy is Falling

The economy is the most important issue in an election to me because money deals with our everyday life. The economy is a huge factor in the United States functioning. If the economy is not stable, major problems soon begin to exist. As of now our nation is in an economic recession. We are heading straight towards a Great Depression. The prices of our products are increasing. As the prices increase, citizens are demanding for a higher minimum wage. Though minimum wage is increasing more people in an election we want a person who will help better our nation and help the people. To do any of these things one needs to know what to do with our economy.
Our economy is the base of all election issues. War and foreign affairs, education, and healthcare all revolve around economics. You need economic prosperity to be able to help foreign affairs, education, and healthcare. Many students would like more funds to be contributed to education so they won’t have a heavy debt after attending college. In war the government uses money for contractors, guns, food, and other equipment needed to help win wars. The reason most elderly people get a low fixed income from Medicare because there isn’t enough to give them a fair amount. Some families live off of money the government gives them to survive. These are election issues that people will argue about, the solution is to have economic growth to be able to disperse money through all these problems and resolve them.

Richard Rodriguez's opinion about Bilingual education

I disagree with Rodriguez when he says, “while one suffers a diminished sense of private individuality by being assimilated into public society, such assimilation makes possible the achievement of public individuality”. One doesn’t have to grow apart from their heritage and family to fit into society. If someone moves to another country at first they are immigrants but after awhile they become citizens. He and his family did need to learn the language of English. In all countries there are different languages and people need to least learn the basics to survive in that country. Learning a different language does not mean to forget where he or she has come from. Having different cultures is a good thing. Speaking two languages now in the United States gives one more opportunities in jobs.
I feel as Richard felt as if he had to distance himself from relations with his family to be accepted by society. As a child hearing the English language, he would hear sounds not words, which is normal in learning a new language. He learned English and put his culture behind him. He became embarrassed of his family and the Spanish accents. Rodriguez states that,” It is not possible for a child, any child, ever to use his family’s language in school. Not to understand this is to misunderstood the public uses of schooling and to trivialize the nature of intimate life”. There are appropriate times when people can use their native language. Using the language of one’s culture does not affect their personal life. The use of their language embraces their lives and others around them.

Shooting an Elephant

Orwell states that he was hated and targeted for being a police officer. They would insult and play trick s on him. In the excerpt it states he “killed a rambunctious but not enraged elephant to satisfy the Burmese crowd daring him to prove himself.” When it came to killing the elephant he didn’t want to do it. The elephant looked harmless to him when he they came in contact with each other.
It seemed as the reason for killing the elephant was done because of peer pressure. The peer pressure he felt from the Burmese people was too much and in the end he killed the elephant. He saw killing the elephant would be the only chance of being liked by the Burmans’ in the town. I believed he killed the elephant because his job as a sub-divionsional officer kept him in the town. So since he knew he would be there for awhile he rather be respected than hated by the people.

College

Want to know why people have too much debt. It is because of college tuition. People pay from 17,000 to about 75,000 dollars a year for college. That is ridiclious. I understand they make students pay for some good reasons but thats too much. Their teaching us so we can have a better life and job but when we graduate school and start working they have load us with thousand of dollars in debt. I know I can't handle all that debt, so I'm trying to find scholarships. I know adults, who are in their fourties, and are still paying for their college loans.
I don't want to be that age and still paying for loans I took out for my college education. I will be worry about taking care of my family. Why does college have to be expensive? Colleges and foundations should have more opportunties for students to recieve scholarships. There are a lot of scholarships but it is really hard to get one. Last year I apply to about 40 scholarships and ended up with 6 scholarships.

DEANS List

I think everyone trys to be on the Dean's List. It shows a sense of accomplishment and drive. It's not that hard to become one of the recipients to be placed on the Dean's List. You just need to have a 3.5 GPA. You can earned a 3.5 GPA with B's and A's. One just needs to study more than they would usally do to just pass barely. I think it's good for jobs to see that your on the dean's list. I think it gives them the confidence to hire you because they know your qualify for the job.
I'm striving to become a recipient on the Dean's List. I have a 3.31 GPA right now. I would have been on the list this semester but iI got a C in my Physics class. I could have sworn that I got a B but I guess the final exam killed me. I really don't know what happen. It was hard for me in a way because it had no math. People thought I was lying when I told them but it was a class about physic concepts You better believe I will be on the list after this semester and I will stay on it the rest of my college years. Do you think I can make that happen? Everyone else should try to do the same.

SPrINg BreAk

It's coming up, March 16 to March 20 is spring break. Spring Break is a time where all students in the U.S. can relax. A whole week of relaxation, no homework or assignments. Every students cannot wait. Some students have plans to go on cruises, party towns and other things. Most elderly students will get wasted drunk, which is not good. I advise you not to drink you never know what will happen when you drink. You may end up having sex with a random person or end up in the hospital. I know you don't want to go to the hospital because of drinking.
During spring break I am going to shop. I want to buy lots and lots of jeans from Ross. I'm also going to go to one of those five star restaurants. I always wanted to go but I hope I will like the food. I don't want to have food I never even heard of. I really want to go on a road trip with my girls but thats scary because they do not know their directions. We may end up in the Gulf of Mexico when we were suppose to be in Chicago. They also like to play tag on the road; you should see them play.

Which Wich Sandwiches

Which Wich has 50 sandwiches you can choose from but really there is even more. People make new version of sandwiches everyday. I have made and seen some of the wierdest sandwiches but people like them. If thats what they like I encourage them to get it. Maybe one day I will try it but I'm too picky. They have a sandwich called the Thank You Turkey. It has turkey, cranberry and stuffing on the sandwich. There's another sandwich that puts jelly on it and no it's not a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Which Wich has many toppings and dressings to put on their sandwiches. They have saukraut, pesto, colesaw, olive salad, mushrooms, pineapples and many more. You couldn't even imagine it; I couldn't until I started working there. There is four different types of mayonise and mustard and other sauces, a lot more. If you have not had a Which Wich sandwich I advise you to go buy one immediately.

Roommates

When choosing a friend for a roommate one should make sure that they can really live with them and not have any problems. Choose a friend that your close to not a friend that your somewhat friends with unless you know that you and the person would be fine. I hate dirty people and I'm sure mostly everyone hates a dirty person. I need a roommate that knows how to clean because I will not be cleaning after them. I will only be cleaning after myself. I am nobody's maid.
I rather be in a room by myself. Im tired of sharing a room with someone. I don't want to have to see anyone when I walk into the room. I just want to be by myself. Is that so much to ask? I can barely get sleep at night. My roommate snores at night. I know she doesn't mean to but it still bothers me. Im not a light sleeper but I'm not a hard sleeper, so I hear things. I have to turn the tv on and put the volume up to 50 to block her out but it never really works.

Shopping

Girls are not the only ones who like to shop. Boys do too but I think girls can drop loads of money in every clothes store they went to if they had the money. I had the money and ended up spending $700 dollars. So I went to the outlet mall with my friend one weekend and spent about $100 dollars that day. I went Aeropostale and this store called Vanity Fair. Vanity Fair is like a big Ross mixed with like a Lowes. Does that make sense? I got a lot of clothes. Well mostly shirts because I never buy jeans anywhere expect Ross.
The next weekend I went back to the outlet malls. I shouldn't have went back to the outlet malls because I shopped till I dropped. I went to Rue21 and spent about $125 dollars. Next I went to Vanity Fair and spent $50 dollars. I went to Aeropostale and spent about $120 dollars. That was it for that day. The next day I went to the RiverWalk in San Antonio and spent about $60 dollars in Papaya. I couldn't spend anymore money because I didn't want to go broke plus my boyfriend was telling me not to buy anything else.

Camping

My bestfriend wants me to go camping with her. They are going camping for her sister's birthday. I told her I will go but I'm scared. I like the wilderness. I wouldn't mind going hiking in a forest, but i hate bugs. I 'm going to have to sleep on the floor in a sleeping under a tent. What if a spider crawls in or other bugs. I couldn't deal with it. What would we eat? I like to eat I don't want to eat beans. I'm going to have to take a shower in the lake. My breathe will be stinking in the morning. How would I get clean water.
My boyfriend wanted me to go camping with him but that would be too scary for me. For me to go with him there would have to be a group of people. I feel like if I go camping I would be eaten by a bear. That's silly right! Should I bring some protection to the camping ground. I think I may convince my besfriend to sleep in the car with me. I can't wait to eat smores.

Exercise

The gym is a place where people go to lose weight or just to tone their body. All Texas State students should use the gym rather than taking out a gym membership somewhere else. The only problem is that it is always crowded. There are a lot of machines but most or all of them are being used. If you don't have classes at noon you should go. Most of the machines would not be taken up. I rather someone go to the gym rather than pay for the group exercises. It's too much! The cats crunch does work; even though, its only 15 minutes.
I hope no one takes the pills to lose weight unless it is prescribe by their doctor. I was going to take them but I scared of what kind of effects I would get. A doctor told that it's not worth it. I started working out last week. I try to go everyday or at least 4 days a week. I run 2 miles on the treadmill, then do 50 crunches on one machine, then 30 on another ab machine, 30 on another ab machine and lift weights. I think with all that I should get my belly down its only a little pouch.

Work

There is too many students in San Marcos to find a job. Everytime you go and ask there either not hiring at the moment or their waiting to here from the people that worked last semester. If you don't have a car its even harder because you have to find somewhere close thats a walking distance from where you live. I could get a job at the outlet mall easily but because I have no car it would difficult to get from and back. I would have to pay for a taxi, so it's like all my money would be going to the taxi company.

I have only worked for three days now. It's not that bad but there is a lot of Texas State students that go. Today we had about four huge orders made by college delivery. I never left the front line. I made sandwiches all day and I even stayed longer than I was suppose to. I need to work more hours because I am broke. I need to make about $100 dollars every week. Do you think thats too much or I should aim for more. Im glad I got a job I now have money coming into my pocket. Oh by the way I work at Which Wich Superior Sandwiches.
