About damn time
Summer school is over. I'm pretty sure I got an A. Being that I had a 94 and a 95 on the two tests and pretty much a 95 or higher on everything else we did, turned in all my homework, and went to class every day I'll be pretty pissed if it turns out to be a B. The final was pretty easy too so ha. No more spanish though I must say I'm a little sad. I really liked this fourth class, liked the professor a lot, and feel like I actually learned a lot and could probably hold my own with all you native speakers out there. Of course I'd rather just listen to you in Spanish and answer in English but eh... now I can go to Spain and not be totally lost.
I got a job too! Yay! I am going to be waiting tables at Pluckers. Woo hoo. I'm actually working at the one up by Research Blvd right now but come September I'm suppsed to be going to the one by school. I don't really care either way. I just want to get done with training so I can make some money. Hopefully I'll get paid soon even though I'm not done training because as of today (July 11) I have $13 or so to last the rest of the month. Where did all my money go?
Well, I had to fill up my car twice on July 1st because I needed to drive to Houston and back to Austin and then to San Marcos and back because I picked my sister up at the airport. That was $100 more or less. Then I went down to San Marcos and back again on the fourth so I think I sporadically put gas into my car in amounts like 20 and 10.
Then I had to buy khakis for work and a work t-shirt all of which came to like 70 dollars or maybe a little less. My more expensive pair of khakis are these real cute cargos so I'm excited about them.
Then there was a 70 dollar electric/water/waste bill and a 120 cable/internet bill (I'd get rid of the HBO but hell no that's never going to happen!).
Then I've spent about 150 on various groceries, 30 on eating out and all of this was before Valerie came to town.
Valerie was here all this weekend which was awesome. I took Morty down to be kenneled and got him a bath (that ended up being like 75 for four nights and the bath which is really not bad considering some places charge 30 a night). I picked Val up from the airport on Friday and our plans for the weekend were to get drunk and shop which we did. Friday night we went to Trudy's and I drank 2 Mexican Martinis and part of her second one. We were so wasted it was sad! In my defense, I hadn't been drinking since the end of May so I had about a month off. We had planned to go downtown but I ended up passing out on my floor after blow drying my hair and Val passed out on the couch. I eventually moved to my bed and slept till like 1 got up, put sheets on my bed (I had taken the others off to wash), managed to break the light fixture on my overhead light in my room (HA!), and then went to bed. On Saturday we went to the arboretum to look around at Sephora and eat at the cheesecake factory and then went to Barton Creek Mall so Val could check out the Abercrombie Kids stuff since they were supposed to be having a sale (they weren't the liars). Then we went home, watched Degrassi DVDs, and got ready to go out. We met up with Nicole and her friends at Trudy's, split another Mexican Martini, and then went downtown. After dropping Nicole and her crew off at the Foundation and finding parking we got downtown at about 12:30 and operation get drunk began. Our first drink, a cherry vodka sour each, was free at Treasure Island because we are two hot girls and when it's not busy on sixth promoters take people into their clubs and give them a free drink to entice them to stay. We instead got the drink, chugged it, and left all in like 10 minutes. Then we went to the Library and each had a purple hooter, then to aquarium where we each had 2 washington apple shots and 2 purple hooter shots (1 of which was pretty much pure alcohol). Then we went to Maggie Maes and each had a Washington Apple and then to Spill where we each had two Royal Fucks (that bitch bartender overcharged us sick too but I wasn't thinking coherently or I would have been like hell no I'm not paying that). About this time Valerie has to go spit up one of her royal fucks in the bathroom because she pretty much swallowed it and it immediately came back up. Ha! Funny thing was she wasn't the only girl throwing up in the sink at the bathroom. All the girls in the line were like it's ok girls feel better. Girls are so nice to each other when they get drunk. Anyway, then we come out of the bathroom and they are playing Juanes "La Camisa Negra." WTF?! That was popular in El Paso last year... uh where have you been DJ? It was still exciting though. So, by now we've had about 1 drink and 7 shots in 30 minutes not counting the half of the mexican martini at Trudy's. We ended up running into our friend Albert that we used to party with in El Paso and he bought us each a drink (Sex on the Beach for me) and that was about when I cut myself off however I do remember drinking about half of a shot that was Val's.
Now for funny drunk stories. In the club I told someone that Valerie was from Nepal. Valerie then said, "Yeah I climbed Mount Everest when I was 7!" I think the idiot believed she was from Nepal too. Loser! Haha then as we walked back to the car I was speaking to everyone in spanish (hey I had just had my final the day before) and I was telling people I was from Guadalajara. Valerie was speaking it too but it was funny because she was just reciting the lingo she has to use at the bank. I was trying to form coherent sentences with subjuntive and shit and she was saying "Do you need me to make change for you?" Then I think I remember telling someone that I was a hooker and they could pay me for sex (hmmm). We drove to some party at the Campus Estates which was WHACK but we both needed to use the bathroom. In the bathroom someone had left a camera so I ended up taking some pictures of my vajayjay as I peed and since that made valerie fall to the floor laughing I took pictures of her fucking ass up in the air. I wonder whose camera that was? They will definitely have a surprise coming their way. It was too funny. So finally at like 4 in the morning we made it home, slept till like 9 when my sister brought her dog and cat to my house (I'm babysitting again) and then went to Katz's and then to the outlet malls in San Marcos. I had to fill up my car again and that's when I stopped spending money. So all in all I spent a fuckload this weekend alternating meals with Val and drinks etc.
Then my photobucket account automatically renewed itself... damn! Haha. Anyway, even if I don't get paid I'll probably be alright since I'll only be driving my car to work and I have a lot of food here. I'll just have a gas bill to pay at the end of the month and will need to get Morty some flea medicine but if I don't get a paycheck I'll ask my Dad or sis for a loan...
Being broke sucks but having best friends (and other friends) come to town is so worth it.
