The annual VCU fashion show, STRUT, is tomorrow night, well technically tonight, and I am beyond excited for it. Since Jenny wanted me to audition to be in it and I didn't have the time to do it, she got me RUNWAY SEATS to the show tomorrow night, and I also bought a ticket to the afterparty. I have an absolutely amazing dress. And I have been unknowingly losing weight, and this dress shows every little bit of that. I can't wait to go tomorrow night. And the afterparty at a bar downtown should be amazing. I'm pretty much stoked.
In other news, I'm basically getting a promotion at work. Nothing that will increase my pay unfortunately, but its just a great step for me. I have been working at my restaurant for only 7 months now. My managers chose ME to be the official trainer of the store. They only got to pick one person to attend this meeting on Monday with them and learn the new training techniques and all that fun stuff, and they chose ME over people that have worked there for years. I can't even believe how excited this makes me. Unfortunately, a lot of people at my work at going greeeeeeen with envy when they find out, and NOT be very happy with me. Especially since that after this meeting happens and I learn all the new things, my manager David and I have to teach the entire rest of the waitstaff what we were taught at this meeting. I'm incredibly incredibly stoked about it. But its going to one HELL of a time trying to get the rest of the servers to listen to me. But I'm not letting it bring me down. Its an amazing opportunity for me, and I couldn't be happier about it. My parents are thrilled. The only thing is that this hinders my summer plans. I DEFINITELY can't spend the summer in Virginia Beach now. I wasn't sure what I was going to do in the first place, because I felt it would be silly to be paying for an apartment out in Richmond and not even living in it. I mean, I will definitely take time off to go home and spend time with them and do everything I planned. My job will just have to deal with it. But I wasn't about to turn down this opportunity just to go spend the summer in Virginia Beach. The job says a lot about me, and who I am as a person, an employee, and as a server. I can't wait.
