(no subject)
i leave on tuesday.
i wasnt ready before, but now i am.
ive said my goodbyes.
my stuff is all packed up.
ive finished working at one job, and i have one night left at the other.
i went to lunch with my brother, took my parents to dinner, and gave my sister the big collage/long letter that i made/wrote her.
my last day at the tucc totally sucked. 3 of my managers didnt even bother to say goodbye to me. the other two didnt even bother to look me in the eye and wish me a sincere goodbye. but at least, i guess, they actually said goodbye. karen yelled at me earlier in the shift for not running across the restaurant to say goodbye to some old people. the managers were too preoccupied all afternoon training a new host. no lunch was bought for me, no dessert, not one thing. maybe i expected too much. but after almost 2 years,i guess i thought some sort of special last day wasnt too much to ask for.
def not going back there.
my last night at harrys is tomorrow night. i asked to work there my last night. cuz quite honestly, i wouldnt rather be anywhere else. 98% of the time, i was happy to be there. the people were genuinely nice to me. and the managers geniunely likedme. and the cooks genuinely appreciated me. i took my parents there for dinner tonight. everyone was coming up and saying hi and introducing themselves to my parents. rob (my manager) told my parents how sad he is that im leaving, and that everyone wishes i wasnt going to school. after our entrees, jason brought out the dessert platter chef mike prepared for me:
this platter was complete with creme brulee, lemon tart, chocolate and mocha ice creams, a Harrys chocolate fudge cupcake, a cream puff, a chocolate cake slice, and mocha chocolate brownies. i jumped up and hugged chef mike when he came out. i dont think anyone, other than my parents, have done soemthing so special for me. ive only been at that place for like 6 weeks, and mike just made me feel so good. i was smiling for the rest of the night. so now, maybe you understand why i didnt mind spending the majority of my summer at that place, and why i would wanna be there my last night before school.
after dinner, i went with chris (from work) to see invincible. the movie was incredible, and it was nice to hang out w/ him.
jason came home from boot camp on friday. it was nice to see him again. things felt really different though, on both sides. we talked on the phoen for about 2 minutes yesterday, and he hasnt called at all today. so i guess its basically over.
so.
now that im about to start the next big part of my life, i just kind of wanna write down my hopes for my future, as of now.... before i go off to school and get thrown into all the stuff penn state offers, or the rigor of my major, or anything else. before some weird thing of luck comes my way that completely changes my future, or some terrible accident occurs that forces me to completely alter my lifestyle.
as of now:
id like to graduate from penn state in 2010 with a degree in nutrition and a minor in italian. i want to have studied in italy. i also want to form some really really strong, true friendships that last a long time.
then id like to either go to medical school, or go get my masters in hotel/restaurant management. whichever path i decide to take, i hope to either own a private plastic surgeon practice, or own a restaurant.
love wise, id like to marry a native italian guy that had moved to the US for some reason or another. i want to have 3 kids, a boy and 2 girls, and they will be raised to speak italian and english. i want the boy to have a really nice italian name, i dont really care what, and then my girls to be named Serena (which is actually an italian word), and Arielle.
no matter what, i hope that i stay fit and healthy, and that i dont let myself get fat. i hope my parents are still alive, strong, and healthy, and that they are finally doign waht they want to do because the children they raised are all adults. i hope that my brothers and sister are successful in whatever it is that they are doing, and that they are happy with who they are and all love and respect each other.
goodbye everyone, and i'll see you in october or november. good luck in college Mollie, Kyle, Aviva, and anyone else reading this. and good luck with your senior year to Janine, Kaylee, and Caitlin and all the rest of you who are in high school.
thank you to those of you who made this summer good.
