work today, not so great.

some lady had us make her drink 3 times. she said she wanted an extra shot of expresso in her blended latte crap so we did that twice, and it wasn’t until the third time that we figured out she meant that she wanted it to be all toddy. or something. anyway. i was working with great people, but it was just a long day. i think part of the problem was that i ended up having to go in 2 hours earlier than i had planned, but what can you do? i’m thinking of asking to get all saturdays off, it’d be swell. as of now i’m still enjoying it’s a grind, but i can tell that it’s something most people get tired of after a short while. the chick playing music today played “landslide” and i almost cried… pretty lame, but its such a pretty and sad song, plus i was already under stress from doing everything wrong today.

nate went shopping down at melrose today =( i miss this guy. he needs to be out of high school so that we can hang out together at lbcc. i feel so guilty, i never get to see his volleyball games or anything…. i’m a bad girlfriend, sorry…

school is going well, i suppose. i’ve been getting a’s on my assignments in english and communications, so it still seems like those are my most viable options for when i finally choose a major. this week i’m thinking about just staying at csulb, we’ll see what i’m feeling next week. it really is a good school, i just need to get over this thing that i have against staying in long beach. it’s cheaper too.

i’ve been hanging out with mary a lot more recently, and i have to say, it’s pretty cool. if we both end up going to csulb or ucla or some other place, i wouldn’t mind sharing a dorm or apartment with her.

i’m real tired, i just finished 30 hours of work this week. i think i worked 30 hours once at maritz… other than that i’ve never done so much. and now i get to go back to work in the morning so i can start a new week with 32+ hours. something tells me i’m getting more than the 16 hours a week i requested. i know i’m complaining a lot, but i really do like the job… today was just hard.

okay enough about all of that. goodnight.

Today I had a great workout in swim, and it put me in a good mood. I think I’m finally starting to get into the swing of things in there, and I think my new years goal of being healthy and losing those freshman 15 is going to become reality. I’ve been eating healthy too, lots of fruits, salads, vegtables, the works. And I’ve decided to give up soda. I’m not ready to give up pastas though, and I don’t think I ever will.

Anyway, I’m sure that my talking about this stuff isn’t particularly intersting for anybody out there.

Let’s see. Tomorrow is thursday, and it will be my only day of classes this whole week, which I’m pretty happy about. The teachers were all in workshops on tuesday, so that worked out nicely for me. I’m getting all caught up in my schoolwork.

That whole paragraph didn’t work either.

Let’s talk about work. I am officially done with working at Coldstones. It was the perfect time to quit, it’s starting to get too ghetto down at the pike. There was a fight there a few weeks ago, and then on sunday somebody stole the tip jar! Yeah, so I’m glad that’s over. I’m going to miss my free huge ice creams, but those probably helped contribute to my recent weight gain, so it’s for the better. My new job is going great! I haven’t gotten hooked on coffee and I don’t think I will. Expresso is nasty. But the atmosphere is awesome, we have live music on friday and saturday night, and I’ve become pretty good friends with Amy, Mike, and Marissa, who happen to be the people who I work with the most.

Things with Nate are going well too, we don’t get to see each other so much, but I think it’s good for us to have our space.

I’m listening to ben folds five, it’s very good, very mellow. I picked up the CD on the way up to Santa Barbara on friday when I went to pick up my brother. His school is so pretty, I would go there if there was a way I could keep from owing some bank $80,000 by the end of two years.

So yes, things are going well for me right now. I need to scan in some ultra hippy-fied pictures of my dad that my aunt gave us at my grandmother’s service, they’re incredibly hilarious.

Oh, I think I’m going to San Francisco for a few days over spring break with my friend Anna, she’s gonna get a rental car and we’ll drive up and stay in this one cool hostel. I’m no longer afraid of hostels. When El Tink and I were going to NYC everybody was freaking out about it and telling us to get a hotel becuase hostels would be ghetto and horrible, but we checked some out, and we would have been SO much better in one of those instead of staying in effin new jersey. Anyway, yes, it should be fun. I don’t think we’ll be going for too long though.
