Another Hurdle

I was down to just a few dollars in my pocket, I was now forced to get a job. Now I have to juggle multiple tasks: getting stronger, playing soccer, keeping my grades up, and going to work. Most people wouldn't consider my job dersierable or difficult. I would definitely agree with the first half. Stocking dairy products (milk, eggs, a million different kinds of cheese, etc.) can be straining after several hours. My first day was on Saturday and learning everything is very stressful. It is hard to do everything expected of me as fast as people who have been working at Wal-Mart for a year or longer, and it seemed as if I was being rushed to my job. However, there were about 8 new employees, and I felt as if I was doing my work more efficiently and quickly than them. By starting this new job, I have put a slight wrinkle in my goals for getting stronger and maintaining a sufficient practice schedule. Now I am only able to make 1, maybe 2, practices a week, instead of all three. As far as lifting, I am going to be tired in the mornings when I have my free weights class. This situation could put a damper on my ability to go up in weight because it will be hard to push my exhausted body, not allowing my muscles to perform to their maximum potential. But I have to remind myself that by me working, I am creating savings for when I go off to college. I won't be able to work first semester because college soccer is much more demanding. So, hopefully I will save up enough money so I don't have to work the first semester while I am going to school and playing soccer.
