so last night i kind got fed up with it and quit my job at Elle Rae's. i was there for almost 7 hours an got $6 in tips cause it was so slow...i got 3 tables...one didn't even order food. the rest of the time i spent sitting there...doing absolutely nothing. then one of the other girls put up a big stink cause i was still punched in when there was nothing to do. i told her i had already done everything there was to do...then she told me to punch out, but i'm sorry...if they're gonna require me to be there, they can either give me something to do or let me sit. cause honestly, they can't require me to be there and then insist that i punch out just because they hired too many people. so yeah. i had been thinking about quiting for a while...it was getting kinda pointless. i was only working 1 night a week and i was only making 6.50...if i were to work the same shift at county market, i'd get .60 more per hour...might as well open that day up to county market. i've got the experience there now, and i told them if they ever get in a bind, i'd be more than willing to come back and work a shift if they need me. and i'd even apply for next summer (if i decide to stay) if i notice the buisness has picked up a bit. untill then, it's not really worth the extra block to walk over. (i didn't say it in such harsh terms...pretty much just told them i needed to concentrate on school...cause i do...) but yeah. now i've got the experience so i can apply at like, perkins or something once school settles down a bit. it's kinda intense at the moment...18 credits was definitely too many...9 hours of class in a row with no breaks to eat, or breathe is kinda hard core, not gonna lie. i dont' think i'll take quite so many next semester...maybe like, 16...but not 18...18 is too many...
i've been thinking about if i really want to stay here next summer or not...i know it's a ways away...but it's worth thinking about. katie and tracy are both going back to their home towns, and if i'm gonna go abroad, i pretty much need to earn as much as i possibly humanly can before i leave. i kinda wanna stay...but i don't want to be alone again. this summer made me realize that i don't deal with being alone very well...pretty sure i'm never gonna do that again. i'd have to get a room mate. the whole going home to an empty house and no friends to hang out with really doesn't fly with me. maybe things will be different next summer...who knows. but as for now, all my friends live in the dorms and have jobs waiting for them at home...doesn't really leave much incentive to stay. i'll put more thought into it next semester...
i've gotta finish applying to study abroad soon, too. just gotta ask people to write letters of recomendation...i've got the rest of the paperwork done... i'm thinkin i'll have my violin teacher, orchestra director, and my hall director write them...i only need 3, so they seem like the most logical decisions. aside from that, nothing's really new here. i know i keep saying i'm gonna update more...but that's a lie...sorry guys :-P
but seriously, i'm gonna update more often...*cough*
