Work and play makes John feel okay. With that said, I went to work in the morning, actually legitimately working most of my shift (as I waited for my boss to give me work the majority of the time). I snapped a picture of my beautiful desk as I compiled and sent emails out to various principal investigators on campus. I employed money saving techniques from that point on to conserve money by using the remainder of my Triton Cash laundry money on a snack at Burger King. When I went back home I played various Facebook games and ultimately the terrible game of P90X. To finish the night I proceeded to Doyle park where I had Bible study with Tran, Pauline, Grace, Michael, David, & Kenneth. It was chill, and we went over a Bible passage from Ecclesiastes, which, as written by the wise king Soloman, emphasized he was still not happy when he reached the top of the social pyramid (in wealth). I consumed some free Papa John’s pizza, hot dogs, pasta, and kimchi fried rice. What I ultimately took from the discussion of Ecclesiastes is that money will not make me happier. Instead, my pursuit for a teacher credential will in the long run be the best move for my future sanity and happiness. When all was said and done, we, minus Michael and Kenneth all proceeded to Golden Spoon for dessert (only $2.50). When all was said and done I ended the night content from a day of half work and half play.
