Life as of Late
Life is crazy! That is all I can say about it lately. So much is going on that I can barely keep up. Well, I’m going to start with school. School is so hard, I am taking way too many units for the amount that I work. And my anthropology class is killing me! But I do have some great friends to study with so that makes it easier. Actually, there was a funny occurrence in that class not that long ago. We had a quiz recently and because of my full load I didn’t have time to read this ethnography which is mostly what the quiz was on, and relating one culture to the other culture and blah blah. So I just listened in class and studied with Caroline (shout out to Caroline because she taught me everything I know!) but so much other shit was going on that I wasn’t really stressed about the quiz. And hell yea I got a 23/25. But…I feel REALLY bad because Caroline got a 22. I didn’t read the book, she did and yea…my bad. But I totally owned that quizzes’ balls! Anyway, the rest of school is going well…besides this 15 page paper looming over my head. Painting is awesome, making some really cool painting, ceramics is always chill, photoshop class is amazing, and English is a class I have with a blind teacher and she is absolutely an amazing person.
Ohh!!! And I got a new job! I’m done with Red Lobster finally, it was good and I loved the people I worked with but with 2 years of serving experience I knew I could go someplace better! So my neighbor suggested calling this place Manresa’s. I called, got an interview (had to have a resume) and freaked out because after looking at their menu I didn’t know a damn thing on it! But I was applying for the food running posistion, there was no way I would be able to start as a server there. Looked hot, went to the interview and got the job the next day! Hell yea! This place is amazing. 4 star place and one of the top restaurants in the country. I was so nervous to start. The website is manresarestaurant.com if you want to check it out. So I started there and all is well, I get along with most of the people and for the most part everyone is helpful. I am learning so much and I love it. It is one of those places were 4 chefs work on 4 plates and they pile everything high and its crazy. Its an art and I love it. And the head chef is from media, pa! hell yea! So I asked if he remembers charlies cheeseburgers. He kinda laughed and walked away. I was like shit! Why did I just mention cheeseburgers to a renouned chef? Oh well, if he grew up there he has to remember charlies! The place is great but I am working even more hours now (around 35) a week plus school…I’m going crazy. Oh well, I am happy. When I move to my next destination for my next college (either of which I have no clue) I will be able to walk into the best restaurant in town and get a job. I like that fact. It also secures me with a job as a server after school.
Speaking of that, I finally figured out my major as well. I’m going to major in painting and minor in photography. I love photography and I can do so much with it but I am not one to keep up with technology and it is changing and advancing everyday. I still want to incorporate all of my paintings with my pictures. I can do so much with both. The only problem know is finding a college that is not too expensive but has a really good art program…hehe umm yea those two usually don’t go together. ::crossing fingers:: but I still have almost another year to figure that one out and I will…eventually.
With all of the stuff that is going lately, I do have a few outlets. My friends that I am getting closer with everyday are amazing. They keep my sanity! (thanks guys!) there is coffee dates with Roxanne, Caroline and Haley when she is not busy dancing (can’t wait till you can come girl!). then my friend Nick and I have been going on random road trips almost every weekend. We’ve going to see redwoods and down the coast to Monterey bay. All of it is amazing, and I am getting some great shots (when it is not raining). And it is really cool to see what is in our surrounding areas! There is so much, this state is amazing. So that is a great outlet.
Ohh! This thanksgiving we had a turkey day friend style. My friends Mahlah, her boyfriend Sam, Nick and I all had turkey day together. It was cool, two people from Pa (me and Sam is from Broommall), Mahlah is from Maryland and Nick is from Minnesota. So it was really cool having all those people from all over the place! It was good times as well, and good eating. I hate to say it but it was the first year where the turkey was not dry! My poor mom can not cook a turkey to save her life, but I still miss her cooking for some odd reason. I really wish I could have come home but it was not in my budget, and I will be home in a month for Christmas anyway! Hope everyone’s turkey days were awesome!
The stress is getting to a breaking point. It’s not as bad right now because I actually had a day off yesterday but it still is bad. Between school, work, and drama. Things between my roommate and I are not working out at all, she hasn’t grown up enough to live out on her own yet. She is a pig. Beer bottles sat around my apartment for a week and a half before they were cleaned (and everyone knows how much I hate beer) and they were only cleaned after I confronted her about it. That isn’t mentioning the trash she didn’t take out and the dishes she didn’t do. I’ve gotten into the habit of cleaning everything after I use it so I can’t be nailed for anything. It’s ridiculous and I can’t wait till the lease is over. School stress, work stress, roommate stress, papers looming, finals looming, and just daily life, its getting to be too much. I can’t wait till the semester is over. Then I might be able to breath a little bit.
My new theme in life right now is “these are the crazy days of our lives” and its so true. Life is crazy!
