The Daily Life of a Working Teenager

Houston... we have a problem. I have no life.  I seem to either be at school or working. I rarely have anything to do in between.

So here's how it goes down on a daily basis. I get up in the morning. Get ready for school. All is well. I leave soon after my mother and drive myself and my younger sister to the high-school, which is about fifteen minutes away. I than engage in journalistic and educational activities. These last until school begins. I go to my classes, eat lunch, play some ping-pong or tennis, and the bell rings.  I talk to people after school. This lasts about forty minutes. I then head over to the friendly neighborhood Shave N Cream. I work there until ten or eleven at night, and head home.

So that's my daily life (although exact details may vary slightly).  The only problem is, did anyone notice a time to hang out in that synopsis?  I am beginning to realize that the answer "I have work that day." is a lose-lose situation. Neither side is happy with the answer.  I am finding that I actually.... enjoy.... going to school.  The truth is, thats the only time I have to really hang out with my friends and acquaintances.  It has become my place of solitude.

But then again, maybe this whole work thing isn't all bad.  If I didn't work this hard, I wouldn't be able to drive to school, I would have to throw away all dreams of heading to Europe, and I would not have all of this extra cash floating around in my wallet. ;)

So... I guess i'll live, and squeeze in all the partying I can. :) But in the meantime, I'm nearly rich, and all my friends are stuck scraping by on their parent's funds. :)
