patience is a virtue [that i am lacking, right now]

"Patience is a virtue"-Chinese proverb

Okay, so I am having a tough time with patience right now. I'm struggling.
I work at a bookstore, I have been there about 3 years and some months, and I've found it a real struggle to get any hours recently. I haven't worked in 3 weeks..that's crazy!
I have talked with my manager letting her know that I am available to work, even though I'm taking classes. I told her two nights a week, and weekends, is when I am available. I told her this two weeks ago. I don't know what else to do? I have no idea why I'm not getting the hours?! It could be because the lack of business? I don't know, I am just very frustrated right now.

Due to this lack of hours, I am currently on the hunt for another part-time job. I'm looking for something possibly in an office on campus, or nannying, etc. I'm at a loss.
I just need patience to get through this period, to wait and see if I end up getting more hours and/or another job.

I really should be better at this...

So, I've tried this once. And by "this" I mean blogging. I started back in July, and I also ended back in July. I found another blog that I enjoyed, something that suited me more for that period of time. I've since come to find that I would benefit from writing my thoughts. Whether I write everyday, or just once a week.
I wanted to come back to this style of blogging because I feel as though I need to write out my thoughts, ideas, and random things.
My other blog is more of a "pictures" blog, and while I still frequent that blog, I am going to try my hand at this again.
So, please, wish me luck...
