Another Taste of the Real World - Tuesday, July 17, 2007
I'm back working at UCLA Anderson doing tech support for the summer, and yesterday was my first day. I'm working four hours a day, Monday through Friday, with my shifts starting in the afternoon. But I'm commuting by bus and the latest bus in the morning leaves at 9:30, and I need to take that one because the next one to Westwood comes 7 hours later. So I'm really leaving for work around 9:30am and getting back around 7:30pm.
After getting home today and eating dinner, I had to run to the gas station and supermarket to pick up some things. Then it was time to do some chores and administrative stuff. Finally I got only about an hour free time before it was time to get ready for bed.
It's only been two days of this routine and I'm already tired of it. How's it going to be down the line when I'm working a real, demanding job and have to support myself and maybe a family? How do people find time for leisure? I seriously don't know how people do it.
