I worked in a bookstore for over two years. I don't really read that much so got overwhelmed at the start as I didn't know too much about different books to recommend. Though the longer I was there the more I got the swing of it. Just take your time to get familiar with where things are and what's popular so you can give good advice and be quick to find things for people.

Always smile and be courteous even if someone is being rude, keeping your cool usually pisses them off even more and it's very satisfying as they can't complain about you for smiling and trying your best.

You will feel overwhelmed at the start but every day will get easier as you adapt and get to know your colleagues. You'll be a part of a team in no time!
Thanks for this!

Is your dad at home? Do you think maybe it's the stress of the holidays? Normally this is where I'd advise you to give the haldol another chance....

What do you mean you can't see your life anymore....you're going back to school, you were volunteering I think you've been doing pretty good.

i started taking PRN invegas today. they are 3mg. T wants me to start taking them bc its the week before i get my next shot. nothing weird is happening i mean there are random things but i am able to dismiss them and not dwell and get obsessed and connect patterns etc. i feel pretty good. i am hopeful that this will work out and i wont relapse this time!

It may be harder because it's compressed you might be able to handle a normal class better if you stick to one at a time. What kind of assignment do you have coming up aside from the physical exercising.....maybe we can help you in some way?

Maybe someone else can but I think history is pretty hard....I'm more science and things that have a concrete answer. philosophy might be fun I never took that one but it sounds interesting....are you taking one or both?
