2nd Day of Winter Session

Hello everyone !!

Now that school has started up again I have a busy schedule. I am the main contact person in our group so I have some extra responsibility. Plus my days are now consumed with going to class and reading the long, boring material. We have to do our group project on KFC. Maybe I will get extra credit for bringing in some fried chicken.

I am also happy that I don't have to work until Friday. I was getting sick of wearing my loony fish shirt every day. I think that I am gonna apply to Maggianos. The restaurant is bigger, nicer, busier and I would have a bigger section to work in.

Oh, I am also trying to sell some of my stuff. I am selling my broke down laptop, my bookshelf, stereo and coffeemaker. I posted a notice on our mailboxes and got a couple of calls so far. The first guy that called wanted my laptop.  I am selling it for $50 because the screen is broken and it is completely crashed and needs to be rebooted. He thought I was selling him a fully-functional laptop for $50. In his dreams !! HAHA. I guess I wasn't clear enough in my description. The guy was super cute though. I just hope that I get rid off all my junk.

While I was sitting in class today the girl next to me kept tapping her foot. Don't you hate that ? The chairs are super-close so I could hear the noise and feel the vibrations while the teacher was lecturing. I am glad she stopped. I was ready to scream in her ear.

I also tool a sleeping pill last night since I have had trouble sleeping lately. I was told that the pill lasts 6 hours. More like 12 hours for me!!  It was soooo hard to get out of bed this morning. Plus, I had a wild dream. I dreamt that I was being chased by 3 different people. I was chased on the beach and then in the airport. Everytime I hid myself I got found. No more pills more me.

Oh yeah, I also spoke to the school in Barcelona. I hadn't heard from them in a while so I called them myself. I am gonna send them money real soon. I am super nervous about living in Spain for a while but I really feel like this is the right think for me to do at this point in my life. I just hope I get a job there.

Anyways, that's all for now everyone :) Enjoy the day.

First Day Of Winter Session Class

Hello Everyone !

Today was the first day of my winter session class. 50 extra people wanted to add the class and there was only room for 5 more people. Thank God I registered early ! One guy sitting next to me told me that this is his third time trying to add the class. He graduated last semester !!! Luckily he got in. There is sooooo much reading to do. Luckily we only have 2 exams and a group project. The teacher seems cool though, but the material is boring.

I also worked last night. Three people in a row told me that I was such a great waittress :) That always brightens my day. But the thing that ticked me off was that I came to work on an early shift and the managers "randomly" chose me to close. I stayed late and had a lot of cleaning to do. Plus my last table was super ghettofied. They ordered a lobster about a half hour after we closed and then had the nerve to complain when I brought it to them. They complained that it took to long to cook. HELLO ! Steaming and stuffing a lobster takes 30 minutes !!! They left me 2 bucks on $60 and told me to keep the change.

I also get to start up bellydance again today. I am so happy because I need the exercise. I also bought a sword a month ago to practice dancing with so that should be fun.

Now that the holiday season is officially over I hope that you are getting back into the swing of things smoothly.

Bye Bye now :)

My interesting day

I ended up going to the meeting in downtown San Jose at the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at 3am. Basically everyone there has his/her own business and is there to set goals. I felt out of place since I don't have my own business. While we were in the meeting some drunken or high homeless man wandered in to our meeting room and just helped himself to our breakfast pastries. He was shoving them down his face and laughing at the people who were talking. Finally a couple of guys made him leave. I finally left the meeting at 6am because I was tired and had to work.

Thank God, it was slow today. I was too tired to be lifting heavy trays and running around. Unfortunately, people where ghetto today. I didn't make as much as I should have. And to top it off, one of the women just kept looking at me wierd. While I was asking her if she needed anything, she just looked me up and down like I was some sort of hussy after her man. I brought her everything she needed, but whatever ! She ended up leaving me 4 bucks on 68 dollars. I have to work tommorow (Sunday) and Sundays are always bad. I guess people can't take out their ghettoness in church so they decide to do it at my tables. And I figured out why most church people don't leave me 15%. They give God 10% of what they earn, so why should they tip the waitress 15%?

What really irks me today is that I was supposed to sell my coworker my laptop, but the harddrive crashed the night before. My laptop is 5 years old. I got it as a high school graduation gift. It looks super ghettofied because the LCD screen and mouse broke so I have a monitor and mouse hooked up. Plus, it takes forever to download and I can't download zip files. It lasted this long and the day I sell it it crashes and becomes useless. Oh Well ! Well, I am at the compuer lab typing this and its closing. Gotta go !

Just another day :)

What can I say ? Today was just another day. I have developed awful sleeping habits ever since school got out. I now go to bed around 5am and get up at 2 in the afternoon. By the time I get my ass out of bed, half the day is gone ! Oh well.

I had to register for traffic school today. What a long line ! While I was waiting a cute guy started flirting with me. What a nice way to pass time at a boring place like that. While I was whistling in line he told me he knew I was a good whistler because I have nice lips. HAHA. Okay, I know that is the lamest line I've heard in a while, but hey I took it.

I also had to work AGAIN. I started work early and took a lot of tables in the beginning. People were nice today, but getting a little shadier with their money now that the holidays are ending. What I don't get is that some of my guests smile and thank me, and then leave me a couple of crumpled up $1 bills.What the hell? But I still made good money.

This is also my last weekend of freedom before my winter session starts. I am taking Strategic Management, which I dread. The class runs from 1-4pm Mon thru Fri. I am gonna have a lot of papers and group work. I just hope that there will be some cute guys in that class. I'll need something nice to look at when I get tired of staring at the white board. ;)

When I took a marketing class last semester with my friend Shira, there was this total hottie, Jimmy that would sometimes sit next to us. He will never know what we thought of him. We played it cool when we talked to him, but as soom as he turned his back to us we would giggle and talk about him just like girls in junior high.

Tonite, I am not going to bed until 6am. The president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in San Jose invited me to their annual meeting they have at the beginning of the year at 3am downtown. It is such an ungodly hour, but this could help me in learning better Spanish and I could get more involved with the community. I hope this opens up opportunities.

Anyways, enjoy your weekend y'all.

 

The Start Of a New Year

I hope you all enjoyed your New Years. I made so much money last night. I made all my tables happy, and turned them all over fast. It was a non-stop night. I also ran into an old coworker, Dario. He was a lot of fun to work with back in the day.

Today was a lot slower at work, and it seemed like everyone called in sick. Oh well, I need all the tables I can get. I also got a huge compliment. I took over for another server and the table said that they had me before and that I was much better than the other server. They left me a good tip too. Sometimes people compliment me and leave me a shitty ass tip. So I was happy today.

I have also wrote out my New Years relsolutions for the year. One of my resolutions is to become fluent in Spanish. Another resolution is to get my navel pierced and keep my stomach toned.

 Last year, I only completed about half of my resolutions. But hey, at least I didn't just abandon all my goals like I've done in the past. I got a marketing internship, learned how to dance with double veils and I made plans to study abroad.

I am also happy because I caught up with a buddy of mine. He pissed me off so much last year that I refused to talk to him. Too long of a story especially because there is a limit on this journal. I blocked him off my e-mail, my instant message and phone. I went 4 months without talking to him and I would have easily gone longer. But somehow I got an e-mail from him wishing me a happy New Years. I checked my e-mail settings often, so I knew he was blocked. I just wonder how the settings changed. I felt like this was a sign to just stop being mad. So I took the opportunity to just let bygones be bygones and we just talked for a long time. I am still kinda mad, but at least I am not holding a deep grudge.

I also made up with my grandpa. I got into a huge falling out with him a while ago, but ended up making peace with him. He's 90 and isn't gonna be around for much longer. I guess my point here is to forgive and forget, especially if the other person is sorry. So many other people in the world have negative family experiences and would give up anything to fix their broken relationships.  In my experience, it is easier for me to live my life when I am not reflecting negatively on the past. Of course this is easier said than done. It isn't easy, but it is worth it in the long run.
