today was a little busy, i only have one class a day with this new term and they're all afternoon classes. today i had work in the morning then class got cancelled and i had work again in the afternoon, so i ended up just doing work all day. which is fine by me, i don't particularly mind working here as it makes me feel pretty accomplished for the most part.
it was also really good weather today compared to yesterday. the wind was blowing and it was so cold i had to keep one hand in my pocket while working and switch hands every now and then to try and keep them warm. but today there was no wind and the sun was out and by afternoon it was really pleasant.
we spent all day clearing out privet vines and english ivy. the ivy isn't so bad but the privet grows to be extremely large, almost like small trees. they were super long and tangled in the big pine trees. there was only so much we could do without a ladder and it was tough trying to pull them down since they were wound so tightly around the trees. at one point we pulled and 2 birds nests fell out of the tree =[ thankfully they were empty and looked long abandoned but we were scared for a second
i was feeling pretty entergetic when i came home and me and my partner went to go get some takeout and bring it back home. i'm all full of steak torta now.... it was really good, but when the lady asked us for a name for our order i gave her my boyfriends name and she wrote "gays" on the order screen. it was an accident but i have no clue wtf she was trying to write, we all thought it was really funny though.
i'm starting to rethink my major now, i really like working outside but i think that's just because i like being outside. but at the same time i feel like i am denying a part of myself because i feel the need to pursue a major that will make me financially successful when that's slowly becoming unimportant to me.
well, partially unimportant. it's still important to make money and put food on the table, but i am thinking in terms of the long run. i really have no desire to get super wealthy, just to be able to live within my means which are not very complex in general- just need a roof over my head and some food and to be away from people.
thats about all, tomorrow is technically friday for me since i have no work or class on fridays. yipee! here are some pictures from today:
the privet was everywhere and kept getting tangled up in my boot laces
the sky was so blue today and i spent all of my second shift running truckloads of brush to the brush pile. i could've fallen asleep on all the vines a couple times
