Slacker Teachers...

Well friends and family, I am sitting here at school with no homework and nothing to do, on the day before Thanksgiving...yep, I still have class. Anyway so I thought that since I've become this massive blog slacker that I would blog a little bit. I have a bunch of saved drafts that I started but never had time to finish, so I'm hoping to at least get one done today. :)

Things here have been a little crazy with school and work and church. It feels like I never get a moment to myself anymore and I'm constantly on the go. Which I guess for the most part is a good thing, but I don't really get a lot of time to spend with the kiddos and Rosie anymore. If I'm not at school, I'm at work; if I'm not at work, I'm at school; sometimes I go to school and then to work and by the time I get home everyone is sleeping. Ha ha...but seriously, I don't see the Lawton fam bam a whole lot anymore. It makes me sad, but it'll all pay off.

Sam's Club is a tiring job I decided. Lifting heavy things for eight or nine hours really tuckers me out. Ha ha...I'm still coming home daily with a new injury/wound. But at least my biceps are getting bigger. Rosie can vouch for me on that one. ;) That's probably my favorite thing about working at Sam's, that I don't need to work out my arms because I lift things all day long! Hmm...things that happened at Sam's this past week.

• I'm pretty sure at least 10 times a day I get asked if I'm Chinese or Vietnamese and then when I tell them that I'm Japanese, they look at me dumb founded.
• I look like I'm a cutter (that's someone who cuts/slits their wrists) because while I was moving six big boxes of copy paper (those things weight like 50 lbs i swear) from basket to basket, the lids scraped me. In addition to that, the man that was buying the paper, just looked at me and told me "wow, you're strong," and didn't even help...gentleman? I think not.
• I got offered a job at a floral shop for being "charming" ha ha...
• I've never seen or moved so many turkeys in my life...I moved about 40/50 turkeys from flatbed to flatbed for one customer.
• I bruised the heel of my foot...twice. Someone hit me with a cart and then later with a flatbed. You think that they would see me and stop or something? Ha ha...
• Someone asked me where I was from, and I told them Utah, they asked me if I was mormon, I said sure am and he said. "That's crazy! You're Asian and you're Mormon!? Dude! Did you know Sachiyo is Asian and Mormon?" Apparently that's not very common in the good state of Texas.
• While sitting in the break room my friend ask me if I wanted to go do something tonight. He said, "Let's go drink." I respond, "I don't drink." He says,"Let's go smoke then." I reply, "I don't smoke either." He sits there for a second and says, "Let's go watch a movie. I wanna see that one show with the Indian guy." I'm thinking indian guy? what movie is that? Since I had no response and looked dumbfounded he said, "Maybe he's Russian or something." and I said "Borat?" (i dont' know if he's russian, but I'll ask Eleanor...ha ha...) and he said,"yeah that's it!" and I crushed his hopes for a final time responding, "I don't watch R-rated movies." and just started laughing. Poor kid. 3 strikes and you're out.

Well besides my Sam's Club stories. Things here are good. Hopefully I'll be able to dissect a lamb brain in my anatomy and physiology class today! I'll let you all know how that goes. :D But I'm off to my next class, but hopefully I'll post some pictures and what not later today during my break.
