This weekend has been a whirlwind and an emotional roller coaster. I am not saying that I wouldn't want to do this weekend over, simply that it has been exhausting.
My third night of training at my new job landed me running the front of the restaurant by myself. This essentially means I was in charge of all orders for both dine in and carry out.....that phone never, and I mean literally, never stopped ringing from 5 pm- 11 pm. Two people called in on their shift which left me helpless, still learning and by myself. yes I made some mistakes (about 7 out of my 125 guest check) Luckily, Rod wasn't mad at me (phew) and after a shift all by my lonesome in which I voluntarily stayed an extra hour past my schedule...i think I have partially earned Rod's full trust. So, Friday night was full of work.
Saturday rolled along. I cleaned the majority of my room. there is barely anything left to do (score) and then I went to watch my brother's first exhibition game at the Jamboree (GO ELLENDALE BEARS) Football has always been a sport I like to watch so I have a blast going to watch dear brother play ball. ( side note: i would still love to watch him play any sport) Their 10 minute exhibition game ended a tie score of 0-0. It was very hot outside for his game so we decided to head to yogurt mountain (yummy original tart frozen yogurt which taste like greek yogurt....IM IN LOVE!!!) We also had dinner as a family at COlton's and then headed to Dicks sporting goods for a few minutes (where brother, sister, and I couldn't find the parentals ) so we did what we normally do in stores in this situatin....we shout marco and wait to hear polo....the looks from people are the best...
I watched the midnight bike race with Miriam and then took an impromtu trip at 4 am to Nashville with another friend this morning so she could pick up her little girl, who had been spending the weekend with her daddy. Unfortunately, her dad is in the national guard and was ordered to the east coast for Irene. No sleep Saturday night plus a road trip with a 3 year old is very tiring.
Tonight was orchestra, I picked up a book at Hastings for a steal of $3.99, then had sushi and yogurt mountain with my friends Sarah, Nicole, and Jonah. ERIC YOU WERE GREATLY MISSED!!!
Very little sleep and tons of coffee and energy drinks to combat this didn't help to add to my emotional exhaustion already occuring so I have been taking great measures to avoid a meltdown...even though it is my own fault. lol.
I am at the point now where I know I will be fine just ready for some shut eye.
Tomorrow I start school. I am super excited. I am ready to buckle down, be serious, and get this nursing degree and spanish degree :)
Well, this post was def. a rambler. sorry guys. Gnight!
