turn me on
So, the internet has been down for like…4 days and I can’t take it. Haha, I’ve now realized how pathetic that sounds now that I’ve said it. Oh well.
But seriously, it really sucks. I’ve been uploading a bajillion and a half pictures onto facebook the last month, but now I’m taking them like always with nowhere to put them or no one to show. So, I’m really upset. Plus, I think I might be in roaming up here (fucked if I am), and I like to talk to people more on facebook, myspace, and IM’s rather than on the phone. I hate the phone anyway. So, now I am resorting (haha no pun intended) to typing in word a livejournal doc to fool myself into thinking that I’m communicating with someone who cares.
In reality though, I am sitting the in common room half watching The Wild movie and still spinning from watching the Transformers for the second time this week tonight. OMFG the Transformers was fucking awesome. This kid Jeremy and I have been raving about it since Sunday, so we gathered everyone again tonight to go watch it a second time. That shit gets me, man. The graphics and shit are so amazing…I don’t know where we’re going to be in like 20 years with technology if I already feel like they are real actors and the Decepticons are actually invading the earth and my car is really Optimus Deuce.
Anyways, it hasn’t stopped being crazy up here…the numbers in the kitchen are just starting to increase again after the lull-we’re up to lower one hundred again. Next week Chef is saying we’re going to be up to two hundred plus again like we were in the first few weeks of the season. So, that’s something to look forward to. Other than that, I’ve been working like a small child in a fuckin sweatshop up here. Kim and I did the math and we’re getting paid like 1.76 an hour. I don’t know..some of it bothers me because they take advantage of us being students..but the head financial lady up here says that she can get the state taxes that they take out (which is an absolutely ridiculous amount) back to us because it’s such a little amount, and at the end of our stay here they’re saying that we’re going to get roughly 2 dollars for our accumulated hours we’ve worked all summer. Dude, if it isn’t like a max amount (like 4 hours a week max) and they actually count our hours we’ve put in multiplied by two…I’m in for a dckload of money at the end of the summer. But I’m trying not to think about it, because it may not happen that sweetly.
We partied hardcore this last Sunday for Alistair’s birthday (he turned 21) and it was absolutely not on a night before my day off. I was up at 430, and awake again at 530. It was so bad..and I was dragging heavy heavy, still half-drunk ass Monday morning. It was fun though, but because everyone on the entire kitchen staff was almost incapable of functioning Monday morning the chef got pissed and we ended up having a meeting today about being responsible. I know he’s right, but this was the first time I drank since Mexico, and definitely the first time up here, so I don’t feel too bad about it. I got all the shit done Monday and blah blah blah, so whatever. They work me like a slave..I’m not about to feel bad about having fun one night and working half speed (which is regular speed for anyone else in that kitchen) for one day. Screw them.
But, despite how much crap I’m talking about this job (and there is plenty to talk about) it’s actually pretty fun. All of us get along, as I’m sure I’ve told everyone already, but we STILL do, which is a feat in itself. On top of everyone having a good time together, we do things like kayaking, swimming, horseback riding, we got to town and the movies and stuff like that. We all do it together, too, which is like a big giant family. It’s beautiful up here, too. Today was my day off and I went down to the swimming pool and sunbathed for 4 hours. It’s daylight up here until 9:30pm (no lie!) so I can lay out after dinner, even. It’s pretty awesome. I’m getting tired of typing now, so I’ll update later when I can actually be online and get done with it.
I miss a lot of people, man.
;_;
so, now that I am able to get online because Kim and I are pathetic and we walked our asses to the CLOSED library but are sitting outside so we can still get the wifi, I am posting this update. Work has been hectic, partying has been hectic but so much fun. No sleep, long hours, rough work, awesome people...lots of good times. I don't get too tanked, though. I don't really drink that much so I jus kind've sit back and laugh. Isn't the the best part of partying?
Rocked beer pong last night at one of the server's houses we all got invited to with this kid Jeremy. Two dumb girls were opposing us and they ate our junk. Kim and I played another round, though and we lost by a cup. So, I retaliated by pegging one the the girls I could barely stand to look at right in the forehead with the ball. She laughed like it was funny..I really wanted to harm her. Haha. Dumb girls.
Mom, I know you read this, but no worries, k? :)
Work was good today, did my own birthday cake for an order we got yesterday. It was a nice 13 hour day though, with no breaks to eat (well, i mean there were..but I just didnt take any) because my stomache was uneasy and I felt like chucking thr whole day. I was dragging this morning because of last night, but chef brought me a Coke and I was better for the res of the day. I should be sleeping, but instead Kim and I are sitting on a bench closest to the library as we can get, jacking the wifi and looking like complete, helpless nerds.
I LOVE IT.
haha. I miss my family, and I can't wait to go to Syracuse after this even though i miss west Palm more than I can bear. I really like visiting you, mom. I miss youuuuuuuu.
Okay, with all that--
