It is roughly 20 minutes until the USA VERSUS GHANA game of the world cup that I am PSYCHED FOR and I thought I would update my livejournal. I have been following the world cup like an actual sports fan, which I always do because there's something about the arbitrary choosing of countries to support that gets me every time.
Alas, I didn't get to watch most of this past week's games because I spent most of this week making money. And by making money, I mean agreeing to do odd jobs that my mom's friends need me to do, and by that, I mean minor-league temping and major-league being a delivery girl for a greasy spoon Chinese restaurant.
Things I didn't like included the sitting around and waiting for for half of the 10 hours, and a lot of lousy tips. Also it was kind of scary at night, but I got off at 9:30 and the sun really only went down at 8-8:30 so I ended up only doing one or two night deliveries. Not that many deliveries total, anyway. I'd never really thought of this before, but mostly delivery people are guys, presumably because the "dangers" of the job and the driving aspect. I think people were surprised to see someone female when they opened the door to get their food. It was interesting and worth the general life experience but I think I'll be happy if they never ask me to do that again. :P
I've also been shadowing at a local vet, which means following a vet around and watching him interact with patients and do surgeries. It has been tiring but also very interesting, and I have enjoyed it immensely and hopefully the vet will let me continue to follow him around.
Now they're singing the national anthems, so I'm gonna get back to the game. GO USA!
