So, a few new things.
I finally got my Smart Serve. Yay. It's really easy to get with the "online training course". Especially since you essentially take an open-book multiple choice test.. heh heh. Anyway, that's over and done with. Now I am more qualified to work around alcohol.. haha.
I started back at the restaurant today. And for it having been closed nearly two weeks, tonight wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Night started off slow, but remained steady. I get to keep all the tips for myself since i'm only working with my bosses, Moon and Winnie... even when they do serving they still let me keep the tips. So i made $45. It is going directly towards my "buy textbooks for school" and/or my "buy bus pass" and/or my "pay car insurance" fund. In other news, I asked chris to put gas in my car tonight b/c gas was "cheap" at 97.8 and i was also on empty, and he put in $8.00! I hope he doesn't get mad when i go to his house with my bicycle to save gas and say if he wants a ride to work he can hop on the back.. haha.
I absolutely need to go to the psych undergrad dep't and finalize my courses. I may as well see an academic advisor while i'm there, as well. Time keeps ticking away, though, and before i know it, it'll be September and I won't be in all my courses.. haha... i don't even know exactly what electives i want. *sigh.... Since i am taking Intro to Microeconomics, however, I am strongly considering taking Intro to Business Management, since both these classes would fulfill requirements for a Certificate in Human Resource Management.
I'm still reading Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment... i barely read any of it the whole month of July. The first half of it was quite interesting.. and then it got really boring. Interesting stuff is going on, but the dialogue drags on so much that it kills any type of immediacy that would normally keep you reading.
Crime and Punishment also went on the backburner while i started my Teach Yourself French in 24 Hours book. I believe I am now at Hour 9 or 10, but then it went on the backburner to making a new resume, doing job searches, and completing my Smart Serve training. Oh, and playing G.R.A.W.
G.R.A.W. (Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon - Advanced Warfighter) is my first foray into Xbox-live-dom via a first person shooter game. Ahhhhh, it's so much fun. It's the kind of game that requires little thinking, and more doing, but gives you the immediate satisfaction of killing as many competitors as you can.. haha. I'm not actually very good at killing people, given my poor dexterity and incapicity for shooting on target enough times in a row to kill him before he kills me, but gosh darnitt, i'm getting better. It's not the type of game that warrants any addiction or anything, since it is so simplistic, but on a night like tonight when i have nothing to do, mindless scoping out and targeting other players seems like it would be a fun alternative. Since i don't have an Xbox 360, nor do i intend on getting one, i've been playing at chris' mostly after he goes to sleep for the day. So yeah, it does take up a good portion of my afternoon.
