So If your wondering why i haven't posted lately then you don't know that I work for Texas Motor Speedway seasonally. I especially enjoy working there and I'm not sure why because it is always a beat down energy-wise. Just to show how rough my weekend has been:
Thursday paper 3a-6a speedway 9a-10p
Friday paper 3a-6a speedway 10a-9p
Saturday paper 3a-6a speedway 8a-6p
Sunday paper 12a-7a speedway 7a-7p
Truthfully if given an opportunity to have a "real" job there I think I would take it. Don't get me wrong the papers awesome at least paycheck-wise. I think my excitement comes from helping others and I know I enjoy the stories I hear and see that only can be concocted from 4 strait days of drinking anywhere and everywhere. This particular race was relatively easy except for the weather
Thursday wind burn 60 F
Friday sun burn 70 F
Saturday sun burn 80 F
Sunday Wind burn 50 F
Only in Texas. Today is catch up day as I have a paper due in class today. My teacher gave us the whole weekend to get it done where did the time go (luckily its just a rough draft). I plan on posting a few speedway moments here and there over the next few days

Me: the speedway provides carts to us so we can get around easily

I have a question, when did you sleep? You work way to hard!
during my breaks at the races of course....... and also got off at 7 sunday crashed at 8p woke at 3am
We had the same question Larissa had, thanks for clearing that up for us! ;O) Good thing you are young, us old folks could never have a schedule like that, we were tired just reading about it!
I (Auntie Brenda) hate to admit it but I would be one of those people that asked if I could leave with a lost ticket! LOL
