Part Four: Monologue
“When I was a student I was broke*, so I took a part-time job to help support myself. I needed something that wouldn’t interfere with my class schedule. I found a job at the local supermarket working twenty hours a week in the evenings. Mostly I took inventory and stocked the shelves. The work itself wasn’t so interesting and it was hard for me to find the time to study. It was good for me though; I got some practical working experience and I learned a lot about how to manage my time. And plus, money. I mean, hey, who can complain about that?”
--Cristoph Burleson
我讀書的時(shí)候真是窮得叮當(dāng)響，因此我做一份兼職工作賺錢養(yǎng)活自己。我需要一份不與我的課程安排相沖突的工作。在當(dāng)?shù)氐某形艺业搅艘环莨ぷ鳎總€(gè)星期在晚上干20個(gè)小時(shí)。工作主要是編列存貨清單，填充貨架。工作本身不太有趣，而且自己也擠不出時(shí)間來學(xué)習(xí)。但還是有好處的，我獲得了一些實(shí)際的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)。而且還學(xué)會(huì)了更好地分配自己的時(shí)間。而且，我還能賺錢。我的意思是，我可沒有什么抱怨的。
