workin hard and tryin' hard....
Well, this year so far is a lot harder than I thought. Working at Snowden, then there's school and then there's trying to find time to have fun. Hmmm..not really working out though on the whole fun part. I just feel so drained lately it's like I'm working at the hotel again. I remember this feeling where I come home from work and sleep...kinda makes me feel like an old lady sometimes but I'll get over it. This whole experience working in the kitchen I'm starting to love. Besides all the cuts, burns and bruises...it's totally worth it. My biggest battle right now is that I'm trying not to let people know that I have little experience in the kitchen, therefore, the students who are doing their practicum and learning is like I'm on the same level as them right now... Sort of like the saying.."help me to help you." This job is giving me confidence, which I need, and a whole new learning experience that I've been wanting before I leave Johnson & Wales. There's one TA that I work with who is willing to work one on one with me and sort of show me the way, which I am happy that the TA's and Fellows are willing to have patience with me. They are a lot of fun to work with, but tough, and selfish shovenistic, egotistical, sexist and racist...but besides all that...(lol) they're good people. There's one MDP in particular that I would also like to thank. He also pushed me to apply eventhough I said "hell friggen no," I am glad he did. Thanks Lawrence!
Anyways, besides work a good friend of mine had passed on about a week ago. She was in a bad car accident, and just about lost her life at the scene but there was enough oxygen in her to stay alive with the help of machines. Needless to say and in short a month later she couldnt fight anymore. Katie was one of our closest friends, and she went through a lot in highschool and in other family matters. We all loved her very much and I hope she is in a better place now. It's a shame that I was such a bad friend and didnt get a chance to see her when I went home for Christmas, but I hope she knows that I will never forget our good times and remember how she use to bring happiness wherever she went. GOD BLESS KATIE, RIP, AND REMEMBER YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AN INSPIRATION TO US!
On a lighter note, being single yet again still sucks!! Wee, I feel your pain I know how it feels, but ya know what? You have roomates here that you more! LOVE YA WEE! (insert hug) I guess I never really said how much you mean to me, but I just want to say that you are such a good friend that anyone could ever ask for! I love you!!!
hope everyone has a wonderful week, peace love and harmony
