Summer Vacation:Situation... Explosive. Need to get OUT!

Okay, back at home...... um.....yeah. Can everyone feel the excitement radiating off the monitor? I've been at home for precisely one week and let me tell you, I'm quite close to begging the university to let me come back...4 months early. Whoever said summer vacation was fun and relaxing obviously has never spent a summer at my house. Yes, I know, my parents need help working at the store and I'm happy to do it (okay not THRILLED persay,....but it's okay), however missing General Hospital during May Sweeps week is not cool, definately not. Actually, working at Baskin Robbins is another story altogether, my one week there has convinced me that my parents' store attracts only the dumbest of dumb customers. Here's a typical customer's request: "Do you have anything that's no fat, no sugar? I'm also lactose intolerant." What the hell am I supposed to do....give them WATER? Oh, but that isn't the best. Every fool off the street comes into the store, takes an eternity to decide what they want, change their mind a billion times, and then haggle about the price as if this is a bloody arabian marketplace and I'm selling mutt cuts! The whole concept of a franchise is that prices are fixed, quantities are fixed, the owners (my parents) have no say in much of anything. We all work extremely long hours, and as in my case (I work for nothing), and the last thing we need to hear is "Do you have the {insert random unknown obscure flavor }.....No? Well, are you SURE? Can you check in the back? Can you ask the manager? When are you ordering it? What day is it today? What's the temperature of the ice cream? Is there magnesium tetrasulfate in this flavor?" DEAR @#$#@#$@#$!, yes, before this week I didn't know people could be that retarded, I thought it was something you see on TV with rehearsed lines. They must be putting something in the water, because after today's shift I was second's away from sticking my head in the broken smoothie machine and yelling "Goodbye cruel world!"
Ahem, THAT being said .....home is uneventful. I really want summer over with, because I just have so much to do: study for MCATs, get my drivers license (HA!...fat chance of that happening), take Calculus (bane of my existence), work in Baskin Robbins until even the mention of ice-cream sends me into shock, and then find time to "relax."
