I feel like a pirate

ARGGGHHHHH!

I know I have posted this pic before, but is perfect for today's theme.

Ever just have one of those days where you are ready to just throw in the towel?

I stay at the police department, not for the pay - cause it is not that great, but because #1, they work with my school schedule, because school is numero uno in my life! (like my spanglish?)

and #2 because it is the field that I eventually want to go into.

Well today, I found out that they may not be so willing to work with me on my school schedule. I got the earlist possible schedule for this summer, which puts me working from 1300-2100. I told my supervisor, that I have my letter already typed, so if he wants to go that route just let me know... her eyes got big. I know they don't want to lose me, and I don't want to leave, but I can't drop below 6 credit hours or I lose my financial aid... so I am stuck between a boulder (cause it is much bigger than a rock) and a really hard place.

We will just have to wait it out and see I guess. I could take out extra student loans, go to school full time, and be done in half the time! se la vi...

Factoid: Barbers at one time combined shaving and haircutting with bloodletting and pulling teeth. The white stripes on a field of red that spiral down a barber pole represent the bandages used in the bloodletting.

Bloodletting used to be a way to deal with psychosis. They believed that the fluids in your body were imbalanced, and in order to achieve balance, they had to let out some of the fluid. And of course, draining a couple pints of blood calms anyone down, makes them dizzy, they pass out, so it appeared to work. I am not sure why they would have done this in a barber shop though... wierd.

I like the pill lol, actually once you told me about tylenol for a sleep problem I was having, well I bought some on my way home from the USA and slept the best I have ever slept on a 14hr flight! Thanks =)
