Attended my first lecture of the uni year this morning at nine, and now am burning time until my tutorial at 4.
I really should have organised my timetable a little better, but in a way it's nice to just slow down a few paces.
I've been working almost every day the last few months, but have cut my hours down now that uni is back. It's weird, because now it feels like uni is a kind of holiday. Everyone keeps telling me to slow down, but in a way, I find a kind of relief in the crazy hours and long work days. If you're doing three 11 hour shifts in a row, you're not stopping to think about where you are, or where you're going.
Had cocktail training on Sunday with Rachael, so in theory should now know how to make a dozen drinks or so. I say in theory, because after countless tasteings and a couple of sneaky double vodka cranberries from a manager, it got a little messy. It's a strange feeling to be in a room full of pissed coworkers at 8.30 at night. Lends a kind of eerie 'Christmas Party' tone to the whole thing, only there was no dancing and certainly no falling down three flights of stairs. Certainly an improvement for me.
Our new cellar man was singing my praises to the table while I was at the bar, and we have a date tomorrow. At least, I think it's a date.
I just hope he doesn't turn out to be married, like last time. I don't think I have it in me to go through that again, and certainly not so soon after. I'm still technically hating men at this stage. He's 30, which is only 8 years difference this time, instead of 14. And I know alot of unmarried 30 year olds. We'll see.
New house is wonderful, new room is larger and also wonderful, despite the fact haven't been home long enough to unpack it properly. New housemates and house kitties are equally wonderful, I feel very much at home in my new surroundings.
And we have a gorgeous lilac bathtub and toilet. And wooden floor boards.
Now I need only work out how to attach things to my walls without peeling the paint off to be well and truely settled.
Tis a very good start to the year, methinks.
Found a hilarious comic from last week: http://www.asofterworld.com/soft_feb16_2007.htm
Snicker.
