it's the same damn song you've heard a thousand times
work has been pwning my life.
I really don't care to go into details about it, but the first month was very rollercoaster-esque, but this last month was pretty rockin'. I'm getting the swing of things and I like the people. Yay success.
Today was my last day on the morning shift of my internship rotation. I was working with one guy the entire time and in which time learned a dickload of stuff. It was a really good time [learning] although sometimes I got the feeling he wanted to strangle me. Either way, I learned a lot and I didn't ACTUALLY get strangled, so it's a win-win for Hannah. He told me at the end of that day today that I was very very good. I was focused, blah blah blah, and he had nothing to say about what I needed to work on except "experience". Which is quite flattering because for what it's worth, I don't have any of that. So apparently I'm doing pretty good for where I'm at. He said it takes a good year to get comfortable with the kitchen.
Saturday, after two FULL DAYS OFF (WHAT!), I start the Baker's shift (2am-10am). The hours are ridiculous, I know..but if I can just get used to it, it pays hella well ($2+ because of the odd hours) and I love working me some dough. PUN. Anyways, we'll see. The most important part of all this is that after my time on this shift, I'll have somewhat of an idea on where I want to be and what i want to pursue: baking or pastry. Somewhat, anyway. I've discovered that life's paths have a tendency to go exactly the opposite way of how you planned to walk them. Regarless, I'm excited. Yay again.
Other that work, my life has been pretty dull. Eric and I hang out whenever we can. :) I really like him a lot even though we've been going through some things lately (more so me). But I'm happy, and I hope he is too. Jess and I have gotten exponentially closer, which is exponentially awesome. The last week or so I've been getting in pretty well with some co-workers, so that's been nice too. Lots of new social situations being shot at me, which I'm always game for.
Traveling has made it's way even farther up my list of very important things to do asap. Eric and I are planning a trip in the spring (a toss up between the keys, grand canyon, or Wakieva springs), Jess and I Mayish time on a cruuuuiseeee, and me, myself, and hoever else wants to come, in summer to Australia. I want to travel while I still can. Before I get my full time job and three weeks a year. I have a feeling when I get into the workforce and I'm tired of only taking two or three weeks a year, I'll just take a sabatical and just leave for 6 months and live somewhere.
fuck it, right?
fuckin' right.
Life's been all right. The only thing I would change are some of the people around me, and getting others around me more often. Everyone seems to have their own attitude and agenda now, though. But I can understand that, I guess I do too.
I just hope things don't change TOO much.
adios.
