subway university

Yes, it is true.  I take classes from Subway University.  Well… that is if it would work right.  I am currently at James and Renae’s apartment attempting to take a class that the owner wants all of the shift leaders to take.  The problem is that it isn’t working.  grrr….  Consequently I have decided it would be a great opportunity to update my blog.

I sincerely apologize for not posting in a LONG while.  Since my last post a many things have taken place.  I work 40 hours a week …or at least one or two hours shy of it.  I also got a raise!!!  Subway definitely keeps my busy.  When I’m not at work I get called in… or they ask me to run an errand for them…  basically I live and breath subway.

I’ve done tons of reading so far.  I’ve already lost count of how many books I’ve read.

My grandma passed away about three weeks ago.  She had lung cancer, but died in her sleep from a heart attack. (the hospice nurse said she probably didn’t feel any pain).  I went home that weekend.  Grandma didn’t want to have any services… just a family gathering at the house.  There were approximately 85 people there (almost all of them are related to me… if only i knew who they were )  One nice thing about the trip was that I had the chance to see my adorable niece!!!!!!!  She can say “auntie”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thinks thats about it.  I should probably get back to subway university.

Feminist?!

So, I was called a feminist this week.  Actually I was called  anti-husband, anti-children, anti-shovenist, anti-Christian, anti-church feminist!  Then when I asked for evidence the culprit was unable to provide any.  According to that definition I would say I am most definitely not a feminist!!!

I believe that a woman has a right to be voice her opinion and be respected for it.  Nonetheless, the woman is to submit to the authority in her life (ie. God, her father, brother, husband, pastor etc.).  If voicing my opinion does not conflict with their authority then I see no harm is saying what needs to be said. Apparently others disagree with me.

I at a point in my life were I have no husband and have no prospects (that doesn’t make me anti-husband and anti-children).  I don’t consider the lack of prospects to be a disadvantage.  I have a great opportunity to get to know my God and to serve him with reckless abandon.  (i’m not perfect… but He is making me perfect)  God is the final authority in my life and I submit myself under his authority.

My father is also an authority in my life.  I would never intentionally do anything to defy his God-given authority.  In like manner, I respect my brothers and value their opinion.

My pastor and professors are authorities in my life.  While I am under their leadership I will respect their authority.  The Hebrews 13:17 says “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”  As long as there is any form of authority in my life i will obey this verse in Hebrews.

Workaholic

So I feel like a workaholic this week!  I’ve closed three nights in a row all of the shifts were at least seven and half hours.  I have today off and I open on Friday and Saturday… those are both eight hour shifts.

I had an interesting day yesterday.  I remembered why I hate closing three days in a row… while being a full-time student.   I made a customer mad… he called me a liar.  Oh he made me mad!  I wanted to talk back to him!  Instead I opted to go to the back and cool off.  I have come to two conclusions about customer.

1. Regular customer are kind of creepy

2. Customers are fickle

Nightmare becomes Reality

Where should I begin this story?  Well, first, I am Obsessive Compulsive when it comes to my wake-up alarm.  I check it at least five times before I go to bed.  Is is set for the right hour? AM or PM? is the volume high enough? etc.,

I worked this morning from 6-2 which means my alarm was set to go off at 5am.  So, this morning I am lying in bed “hmmm, I wonder what time it is.”  “I checked my alarm last night and it hasn’t gone off yet.”  “Let met just make sure.”  So I get up and walk across the room to my dresser to pick up my phone.  … “where is my phone?”  “Oh NO!” “PHONE!!!!”  So, I ran frantically to the kitchen to find a clock  “6:22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”  “NO!!!!!!!”  “WHERE IS MY PHONE!!!”  … It was in my bed, under the covers!!!!!!   “I’m supposed to be at work, and I have the key to get in!  somebody is waiting out in the cold!  Oh no!”  I text my manager “just woke up.  running to work”  No lie! I ran out of the dorm.

So, I make to to work, and guess what.  My opener isn’t there!!!  She thought she worked later in the day and didn’t open.  So finally, we both are at work and have 20 minutes to get the store ready to open!  Praise God we made it!

But my story isn’t finished!

The GM was supposed to come in today at 8am. She lives kind of far away and needs to take the 210E to get to Pomona.  If you have heard any traffic reports this morning you heard about the major accident on the 210E that caused two fatalities, well she had to sit in that traffic.  Two hours after she was supposed to be at Subway she finally made it!

So I don’t know how in the world it was possible, but all three of us were late!  We all had our own issuse, but it made for a very intersting morning.

Midterms, Missions Intensive, and Spring Break

Mid terms was last week.  I had four midterms and two projects due.  I think I did ok on everything.

This past week was Missions Intensive.  Our Teacher was Bro. Jim Smith, who is an Associate Missions Director for the BBFI and a former missionary to Ecuador. 

I have more Subway stories!  I won’t bore you with them though, but let’s just say that they know how to keep me busy.

This week is SPRING BREAK!!!!!  I’m not going home but am staying in LA to work and get lots of homework done.    Hopefully sometime during the week I will be able to update everyone one how productive I am being on my homework.

by the way… what do you think of my new sight?  the name?  the theme?
