After the day I had today, I’ve realized that I never want to have children.

Jesus, there is just no fucking way! 

Okay, so here’s the back story to my sudden realization.
School groups come to the zoo during week days and the amount varies from day to day. I worked yesterday and about 1500 kids were there…it wasn’t so bad.

TODAY…oh fuck, that’s another story. 5000 fucking school children, probably ranging from 5 or 6 to 15, running around the store, wreaking havoc. AND THE BEST PART IS MOST OF THEM DIDN’T EVEN BUY ANYTHING.

They just messed all the shit up in the gift shop and went on their merry way. 

It’s days like today that make me believe they really don’t pay us enough to do this shit, hahaha. Luckily I have some of the best coworkers and managers, so it makes the job a little more bearable. 

But yeah, I feel as though I would be doing the world a favor by not procreating. Children are just evil…pure evil!

On a side note, THIS SUNDAY IS GRADUATION! Expect to see a cap and gown photo! I will be the happiest clam in the world. And I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off of work, so those’ll be a chill few days :D

And then next Tuesday, a bunch of us from work are going to a Tigers game! (Detroit baseball team, FYI) That’ll be fun…it’s rare that we get to spend time with each other outside of work. It’ll be a bit weird, seeing as though we won’t be in our uniforms! Eeeeek.

Anyhoo, that is my life at the moment. I guess I should go mentally and physically prepare myself for the 5500 school children that will be at the zoo tomorrow -_-

It’s so weird to think I’m done with high school. I graduate this Sunday and I just can’t believe I made it. I really thought for awhile there that I would never see my graduation day…but it’s finally approaching and I couldn’t be more excited!

Even though I’ve only technically been an adult for less than a month, I feel like I’ve gained all this responsibility over night. I have money now to spend however I choose (somewhat frivolously at times), I rarely ask my parents to do anything (although I do still tell them what I’m doing out of kindness, haha), and my bedtime is now 10 pm!

Just kidding about that last part, hardy har har. But yeah, there are just little things like that that remind me “Hey, you’re not a kid anymore”. It just feels like it’s been an extended weekend seeing as though Friday was senior skip day and yesterday was Memorial Day…I still had to work yesterday, though :P But yeah, I worked today and it just feels weird knowing that kids are still in school and I’m not!

I’m totally rambling, but yeah…it’s just been a weird day. All this realization and whatnot. It’s exciting but a bit frightening at the same time. I don’t know how to digest it all just yet.
