Western Wats (only 1 T)

I work at Western Wats, yes that's with only one "T". It's not Western Watts. Western Wats stands for Western Wide Area Telephone Service. What we do, basically, is complete marketing surveys over the phone for various clients. It's a real hoot.
I started work today and let me just say, I was not disappointed. In fact, I liked it so much, I'm going to do it all again tomorrow. Why do most people hate this job? It's quite simple really, they just can't stand to sit in one chair for 3 or 4 hours at a time, and frankly, neither can I. That's why I love this job.
Several of my associates at school told me that my newfound job "sucked". While this may be true, from their perspective, I see it as nothing but a step or two or maybe even three up from my previous job at Orange Julius in the University Mall. Yes, sub-6.00 wages and grueling tasks made that job no fun. I do believe, however, that it was at the top of the fast-food job chain, which doesn't say much for the industry.
I believe a fast food restaurant job is the worst form of job you can have. I was surprised at work today that most people whom I spoke to on the phone were actually quite kind. This was not what I expected, as I know most everyone hates telemarketers, (though we are not telemarketers, we are interviewers). At Orange Julius, I thought most people in this world were rude. Therefore, Western Wats has been good for my overall outlook on life.

Laziness

I really need to town done my laziness a few degrees. It is taking a toll on my grades. As you read about in my previous blog, my grades have been slipping. I can attribute that falling off of my g.p.a. to one factor: Laziness. If I don't de-laziate soon, I may be in trouble.
I am extremely overqualified to achieve a 4.0 every term. The problem is, that I just don't. I know I can, but somehow the will is not there. I underachieve on every report card. Why? I've gotten ridiculously lazy. It's hurting my g.p.a., and I've got to find a way to reverse it before it's too late.
Back in the 6th grade, even the 8th grade, I was lazy. But not lazy enough to where it ruined my grades. I would ALWAYS do my homework before going to bed, even if that meant staying up till 4 a.m. or later. Nowadays, I find myself sometimes missing school to complete assignments, a sure way to fail.
How can I reverse the trend? Well, it won't be lazy. When I actually focus and work on my homework and pay attention in class, I find a 4.0 just completes itself. I can do homework extremely quickly when I focus, it's just . . . That dang "TV" has ruined my imagination and my attention span. I'll work hard to reverse the trend, however, and soon I'll be rolling in the A's.

4th Term

Well, here we are at 4th term. Finally. This term, I am going to get straight A's. Guaranteed. Of course, I have said such things at the start of each term this year. The 4.0 never seems to materialize, however. This term, however, things will be different.
I don't know what happens to me midway through the term. I just lose sight of the goal at hand. How can such a lapse in focus be avoided? I'm not sure. I must just stay consistent day by day, and not get lazy.
I'm very capable of getting straight A's. In fact, it would really be no problem for me to get a perfect report card every term. The problem is, I seem to forget this at 7 A.M. on some mornings. Those mornings when I decide to just sleep in instead of go to first period don't really seem significant at the time, but it adds up. By the last week of the term, I am asking myself what I was thinking back on those cold winter mornings several weeks earlier.
No. That's not going to happen this term. I will not allow it. I did miss first period today and yesterday, but that's not significant. It won't come back to haunt me in a couple months. No, 4.0 is in the books. Not just this term, but from now until I graduate. No Doubt.
