Jamaican: how are you doing

Jamaican: i'm fine how are you doing

Jamaican: i'm really tired i had work from like nine to five today and it was kinda steady at the store so there were cases where per persons were like there were cases where the store was like really empty then probably the next five minutes you see like ten five different families coming inside just to buy candy so it did really exhausting at one point but never so bad really 'cause we've had days where we were like really really busy if you understand what i'm trying to say <laugh>

Jamaican: i do i do um it wa well that really sounds exhausting that sounds like a lot um

Jamaican: yes

Jamaican: um comparing to me i i really haven't done anything much all day other than chores and basically play games and back to bed

Jamaican: what games i swear you're obsessed with games

Jamaican: i very much am i i was playing mortal kombat and i am cleaning

Jamaican: you play that on your phone or a pc or your television

Jamaican: both i play on both it's really cool though you shou you should try them out

Jamaican: no i'm not really a games person

Jamaican: you're not

Jamaican: i a actually prefer to like go out and enjoy my surroundings instead of being stuck and looking at a computer screen or a phone screen every single day <laugh>

Jamaican: <laugh> it's not that bad how about games do you play games like sports recreational

Jamaican: actually i'm not very athletic nor fit i do play um tennis though

Jamaican: oh that's my you know i've always wanted to do tennis but i've never gotten the chance to actually play it's an it's perhaps you can teach me one day

Jamaican: yeah

Jamaican: when you're not busy

Jamaican: sure probably it's not really that hard and seeing that you're like into sports i think that you probably might be a natural

Jamaican: wow that well that's true <no-speech> especially

Jamaican: so when you were a kid did you like used to play video games every day or were you like an active child like myself

Jamaican: yes i i was an active child growing up and yeah i played video games but not so much as i do now um when i was a kid i would most likely be at the river the beach you know doing stuff

Jamaican: i loved going to the river that's one thing that i miss about jamaica the rivers like i can't wait to come back home

Jamaican: but you really wouldn't be enjoying the river much now i mean even though it's summer yeah it's summer but it's raining

Jamaican: i doubt that jamaica is never cold

Jamaican: it's oh it trust me it's really cold right now

Jamaican: nah it's not cold one thing though that i miss about being home like i can't wait to go back home in september is like the

Jamaican: food

Jamaican: the weather like it's either hot i don't know how to explain it but it's the the weather here is just so bipolar like for instance yesterday <laugh> there was a thunderstorm right

Jamaican: right

Jamaican: and it was raining heavily like it was thunder lightning heavy showers and then like five minutes like i don't wanna lie then like probably like ten minutes after no probably an hour or two hours a probably a couple hours the sun came out like so bright like if it was jamaica it probably would have been raining for like two three days i was like but that's kinda good though but i'm just saying that it's so different and we're not used i'm not used to this

Jamaican: yeah you're right and you don't like it either

Jamaican: mm hmm

Jamaican: no you don't like it

Jamaican: no no everybody seems to be talking about stranger things though have you seen it have you ever watched it

Jamaican: stranger yes i am currently watching it right now

Jamaican: what is it about like i want to start it but

Jamaican: it's this i it's this um it's like a it's not really scary it's not a scary film tell you that it's not really um it's actually really fun and it mostly a it starts off with like kids like some five not five year old my bad probably like some ten twelve year olds they discover some sorta monster

Jamaican: mm hmm

Jamaican: breaking the universe and

Jamaican: so it's like superstitious or no is it like supernatural does it have like like what kind of supernatural things does it has like is like they're vampires werewolves aliens

Jamaican: yes

Jamaican: ghosts

Jamaican: aliens most likely 'cause those things those things don't even have eyes

Jamaican: so like do they have powers stuff like that

Jamaican: yeah they do have powers

Jamaican: so is it a case where kids are fighting supernatural beings because that probably would be good

Jamaican: yes yes the kids fight different (()) beings

Jamaican: mm

Jamaican: it's really fun though

Jamaican: good like i probably should watch that

Jamaican: yeah you should you should definitely check it out how about you you have any tv show or cartoon you like or book

Jamaican: um no like i remember once i tried started watching like season one but it wasn't that really interesting so i like kinda stopped and then like since recently whenever i go on social media like tiktok instagram everybody is talking about season three for stranger things i'm like what did i miss like why you know like how it get so popular so soon

Jamaican: yeah

Jamaican: or was it always popular i don't know

Jamaican: i it's really good honestly it's great

Jamaican: mm and the last series that i watched was um fear the walking dead

Jamaican: that's like a zombie

Jamaican: yeah like a zombie apocalypse or whatever that word is yes

Jamaican: <laugh> sounds good sounds like something i would enjoy

Jamaican: yeah it kinda it's good but the thing with those series show like is a zombie apocalypse so like the writers or the directors or the producers they like always kill off the main character and that really sucks because sometimes you get so attached to this character and then boom the next <laugh> the next episode come out and then you realize that woah you have to go say goodbye to that character there and s that really make me sometimes like me get like uninterested in uh the show

Jamaican: yeah

Jamaican: yeah

Jamaican: i really hate that

Jamaican: but otherwise it's a good series um i'm currently waiting on the new part like i'm hooked i love it and it realistic is a realistic show

Jamaican: i am going to check it out for a fact

Jamaican: you're not checking out anything <laugh>

Jamaican: i will no no i will i will for real i will <laugh>

Jamaican: all right so what's your favorite thing about um university right now

Jamaican: uh the favorite thing about networking i get to meet a lot of interesting people honestly

Jamaican: oh that's can't relate

Jamaican: oh i've never met anyone of my university students university classmates like i've been going to university for like what two years now and i've never seen any of those students' faces hopefully next year we can go in face to face do you prefer like face to face or do you like online schooling

Jamaican: i mean honestly uh i wish i wish there was like a mixture where i could have you know both

Jamaican: so like a hybrid type of set up

Jamaican: yeah maybe you know

Jamaican: i think my school is gonna do that for the next school the next school year

Jamaican: mm hmm

Jamaican: honestly i wouldn't mind because i'm tryna like go to school part time and then like get a s a job on the side so like if it's hybrid you know that would be more easier to like accommodate a job

Jamaican: so you're like what were you feeling to switch from full time to part time or

Jamaican: no no way well part time honestly i don't know i just think that i don't wanna go to school in the night <laugh> yeah 'cause at my school you can either be a day student or a evening student

Jamaican: oh

Jamaican: we don't say night we say evening student evening student so like for your daytime your classes will probably finish like four the latest and uh evening student your class will probably finish like eight the latest in the night and i just think that i shouldn't be at school at eight in the night

Jamaican: exactly 'cause that's that's mad long if you ask me

Jamaican: but ca if you have to do it you have to do it but personally me i wouldn't learn shit

Jamaican: yeah

Jamaican: 'cause i i would be tired

Jamaican: that's past tiring i feel like at night your brain is more relaxed so you're not

Jamaican: yeah

Jamaican: damn

Jamaican: i know right

Jamaican: i can't remember the last essay that i wrote school ended in like probably april for me but tomorrow like i got i got tomorrow is my day off at my first job but i gotta go to my second job i do housekeeping <laugh> it's hard <laugh>

Jamaican: it is

Jamaican: it is like because i don't have like my my my ss yet i have to do like jobs that are willing to hire me and sadly housekeepers are only jobs that willing to hire but i get my ss tomorrow so that's good i can quit housekeeping but i won't quit it until i get like a better job like a easier job 'cause honestly house i think housekeeping is maybe it's not hard but to me it's hard because like it's the first time i'm doing it so for example the other day i went to work i was given s eleven rooms to clean

Jamaican: i totally understand

Jamaican: eleven rooms and mind you i start at nine in the mornings like everybody else and then i have another job at four so like i have to stop working before four so i can get a l at least half hour to go to my next job 'cause i gotta walk to my next job so um i managed to clean like nine of the rooms so i had like two remaining when i'm at my second job my supervisor from the the housekeeping position is gonna text me like hey why didn't you clean all your rooms today i was like you know i have another job that i gotta get to i can't i couldn't finish that in that amount of time if you understand that 'cause the rooms are really big no not all the rooms are big but like the king size rooms they are really big and that day i was given like six king size rooms to clean and one of those room probably take like forty five minutes 'cause you can't spend like a hour cleaning one room 'cause i guess that's not being productive in their eyes i guess so like i have to be like in and out the rooms and it's really hectic having to spread nine beds in one morning sweep nine floors <cough> clean nine bathroom mop nine rooms and empty nine garbage bins like and trust me people are nasty <laugh> it's not easy

Jamaican: <laugh>

Jamaican: i can't wait to quit housekeeping i'm not like honestly i have a a level of respect for housekeepers now 'cause they have to do so much it's not easy being a housekeeper

Jamaican: yeah it really is terrible

Jamaican: so tomorrow is just gonna be rest for me and then when i get home i'm should probably just gonna eat i made pasta since evening so i'm probably just gonna eat that again

Jamaican: pause

Jamaican: huh what was that

Jamaican: pause
