Cal State LA

Hey guys! I am 420 Nurse intern Canna Queen. I haven't been on in awhile, I have been so busy adjusting to my new life. And I still have a long way to go. I am officially living in a dorm at CSULA and it kinda sucks! I'm still getting used to always being at school...it's interesting. I'm taking 5 communications classes as well as working 20 hours a week. Sometimes I get a little more hours and I was loving it at first but now I feel like I can't really handle working so much while trying to pass all my classes. I asked them to schedule me less but unfortunately they can't even do that because it is performance based scheduling. And y'all KNOW that I work my ass off so of course I'm on the top. I'm trying to get my coworkers to take my shifts but it's hard to get approval when they're lower than me in sales. This Red lobster is so much different than the other one. OH OH AND I got to work with 2 of my old managers last week!!!!!!!! It made me so happy that I cried. I saw one of them when I walked in and I literally thought I was dreaming. He tricked me and said he was transferring over here and then 10 minutes later he said nah I'm going back to Valencia. I told him to take me with him! I don't hate this new restaurant, it's just not Valencia. Where my friends are. I miss them so much, I cry for them sometimes. I also joined a PR committee this week and it was kind of thrilling. I get to handle different social media accounts that they have to promote events and such. I think it's gonna be a great learning experience as well as resume booster. I'm still tryna find a dance team to join, but I haven't really asked the 2 places that I know would know where to find them. Just because I needed to focus on school work this week. I'll find it next week! That's the beauty of this place. I live here, and Imma be here for a long ass while so shit can wait and not everything has to be done immediately, just not forgotten. School is tough and work is tough, but so far, I am making it through. I feel good that I know that I can do this. I don't like where I am, but I love where I'm going. And I'm excited to share this journey with all of you.

Thank you for listening!

Your Sister,
Canna Queen
