My job as a cashier in a grocery store....

My job at the community grocery store is quite boring 

but it is also quite interesting....

By interesting, i get to intereact with all sorts of people

I get to interact with people that are of my age

I get to interact with people from school (faculty, upper classmen, lower classmen etc)

I get ineteract with old vets that were involved in the Vietnam War( he always asks me what my point of view is on the War in Iraq. I then correct him in saying that it is not a war since Congress did not officially declare it a war, just like Vietnam[he always gets a crack out of my smart ass comment] and I explain to him that the U.S. is jsut using the name of "War in Iraq" or  "War Againt Terror'' as a cover up to distract the American public from what it really and simply is...Imperialism for the benefits of our own interests. Then we talk more and more about political ideologies and other things. The Vietnam vet is probably my favorite person who comes through my register just because I love having govt. conspiracy theory conversations with him.)

I get to interact with a hippie that always wears a Beatles t-shirt (he claims he has a whole dresser filled with old beatles t-shirts from when he was a teen during the 60s [I totally believe him since I have never seen him wear the same Beatles tee twice{he also happens to look exactly like John Lennon no joke. He has the hair, the glasses, and he sounds kinda like him}]

I get to intereact with old ladies who constantly scowl at me because I do not attend church[they have been trying to get me to go to church, like everyone else in this small town since I moved here]

I get to interact with rude people who treat me like I am stupid (but in reality I end up being smarter than them. Plus I am not the one who is using food stamps and living off the govt's money. Food stamps and welfare pisses me off!)

I get to interact with extremely nice people who treat me nicely(like there is this cool photographer dude who comes through every once and a while and we talk about photography and al the places he has been and how it's hard aming it through the real world as an artist. He is my second favorite person that comes through my line)

I get to interact with cute old ladies who try to strut their stuff with their red hair and louis vuitton purses(they are so sweet and they always come in pairs and shop together. I think they must be in some club, but we talk about the latest louis vuitton and coach and gucchi and I always bring up how the Dior BlackOut Masquera is the best stuff in the whole wide world)

Overall, 

Every person is unique in a way

no one ever looks the same

and no one ever acts the same

Some people are just plain stupid 

and others are extremely interesting and intelligent

some look absolutely heartbroken when I am assisting them

and others look jolly and loveable

And that's my job as a cashier...

People are interesting...

Reccently I have began to notice people. 

Not like noticing a girl wearing an extremely short skirt down the hall or a teacher smelling like an old rabbit

I have just noticed the characteristics of people

from the cocky teenagers to the most conservative faculty memebers to the weird hippies that come through my register at work

Unfortuantely, I have been put into some classes that are at a sophmore level because of the graduation requirments at my new school I started in Colorado versus the graduation requirments in Arizona

And in those sophmore classes (versus the usual senior honor level classes) I can not stand the people in there

Now I am not saying all the people in those classes are annoying or irratating because a few of them are pretty cool

but the immaturiy and the cocky-ness is one of the most annoying things I have ever encountered

Especially in my trigonometry class, there is this junior who thinks she is so smart and knows more than the teacher and talks and talks which then distracts me. She is also extremely rude, immature, and stuck up. For example, my trig teacher will be showing an example to the class on the white board and then the junior girl will try to point out a mistake made by my teacher. Well what she ends up doing is instead being completely wrong, confuses the rest of the class, and I sit back thinking about how much I wish I could duct tape her mouth for all of eternity.

Then later on in the day I have an independent  study advanced placement english class - quite a mouthful, wouldn't you say?- and to get to that class I have to pass through the dreadful freshmen hallway. Now what makes this hallway so horrifying is that the freshmen are ignorant and moronic. They just stand in the hallway and block the flow of people trying to get through. Once i found a group of freshmen create a human chain andd completely blocked the hallway. It was so immature and frustrating. Oh how i long to tie their arms and legs all together so that they could no longer be in my way. 

Throughout the day, i have the tendency to show up to my classes really early. Now i don't show up early because I fear of being late or anything. When I am at school, i get in the zone and my mind only revolves around getting my work done and then leaving as soon as possible. So when we have our fifteen minute breaks and such, I don't take that break and I use that time to read or study other things.  I am labeled a loner or a goody good or perhaps a nerd for just using my time to work rather than socialize at all. But I do not care about socializing at school, I just want to get my work done and leave. 

Also, I notice the members of the faculty. Some of the faculty members are extremely crazy and outgoing. Others are more conservative and some are more reserved. I prefer conversing with my teachers over anyone of my class or the lower classes just because I feel like I can indulge in a real and thoughtful conversation with someone. Meaning by real conversation, I can discuss a real topic (ie- politics, religious ideals, etc) with an adult rather than the usual teenage gossip and drama that won't matter next week or a year from now. 

I also like listening to people. What they talk about sometimes is absolutely stupid or hilarious. I do realize eavesdropping is not a good thing to do but a person cannot help it no matter how hard he or she may try. But people are quite entertaining and I love observing people. I know how weird that sounds, but from an artist's point of view I learn more from watching and listening to people that I do from reading a book or listening to a lecture. 

I simply find people to be interesting...
