It's the end of the day and it was extremely stressful for me. As a lifeguard you get rotations for who watches what and when they watch it. So it got towards the end of my shift 3:00 comes around and the first coworker leaves for her other job. The only people left are me and another coworker. But note that at the 3:00 marker there was 40 people swimming in the pool. Now as a beginner only my third day or working as a lifeguard, it was extremely hard for me. But fast forward to 3:30 and my other coworker leaves. As he leaves the 40 people still swimming are left in my hands. Now I know it's going to be stressful because all these 40 people depend on me to keep them safe and prevent anyone from drowning. But nobody drowned and I didn't have to jump in to save any lives, thank god.
I got home and didn't get a chance to rest. There was no way I could I had so much stuff to do. I say I can't rest because it's too much for me to rest between the stuff I need to do physically and the stuff going on mentally. I got home called information technology for work to get some things sorted out, then I set everything up to get the rest of my online stuff figured out. I went to the bathroom to get my hair and make up done, braided my hair did my makeup, which is only eyeliner and mascara, all while drink an energy drink so I would have some energy for the night ahead of me. I went to the skating rink to skate with my cousin and one of my other cousins ended up being there too. I hadn't finished my energy drink so she told me I wasn't allowed to bring it in the rink. 'What am I supposed to do' I thought. Just chug it, so I chugged the rest of my energy drink so I wouldn't waste it. Me my cousin and my aunt all got our skates and started putting them on. We skated for a bit and enjoyed our night. About 30 40 minutes before the rink closed I started to get extremely hot and tired. Now I'm an ice skater I don't Rollerblade or anything, so I'm used to freezing while I skate. I continue to skate knowing I'm on the verge of heat exhaustion. So I asked my grandma if she could buy me a cold water. (I didn't have my wallet on me or else I would've bought it myself) after getting the water and cooling down I idiotically got back in the rink and kept skating. So fast forward about 20 min we are all taking our skates off and getting ready to leave to go home. On the way home I have my headphones in listening to my usual screamo/heavy metal music that my grandma HATES. And my cousin sitting next to me says 'hey is your music loud enough' I simply say 'no, you have to understand this is quiet, usually I have both headphones in blasting my music, to the point to where you could hear it in the doorway of my room while I'm sitting on my bed.' She said 'yeah ik' and I just kinda shrugged it off and kept listening to my music not even thinking of turning it down. Me and my grandma dropped of my cousin and aunt at their house and headed home. When I got home I went straight to my room like any other teenager would and continued to listen to my music but louder. And after about 5 or 10 minutes I called my bestfriend on a facetime app I have because she was with my girlfriend. Without even thinking of the time or anything like that I start working on a word puzzle because I got bored. I look up at my computer to realize that it's midnight, and I'm not even the slightest bit tired. My bestfriend got off the phone and I kept about my business. After an hour of listening to music and working on word puzzles. I decided I needed to clean my room, for absolutely no reason, "cuz it was dirty." I get my room clean and it's 1:34am at this point and I'm still bored so what do I do? Organize the boxes of stuff in my room since moving in with my grandma less than a month ago I still hadn't found a place for this stuff, so I just left it in the boxes. I organized all the boxes, made my bed, lit a candle, organized perfume and lotion bottles, but was still bored. So I lay down on my freshly made bed just listening to my music in peace. 2:00am and my pa knocks and walks in telling me it's 2 in the morning and since I'm "traveling" tomorrow I need to get some rest. Even tho it's only an hour drive to go see my brother. But now it's currently 2:58am and just now starting to get tired. So I think I'm  gonna go to bed. Good night peeps.  😴✌
