A well known regular

So it is a ritual typa thingy that after work, Jamie and I go to Starbucks. Well, they know Jamie by name and they know exactly what she orders. I will soon be like that. I just got off work and went to starbucks. They were just getting ready to lock the doors, but we just made it in time. So, I ordered a Grande Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino and they gave me a Venti. Amazing!!! So yeah. I only worked 5 hours today. It was so easy and today was actually fun. I guess that's it.

Rambling. I am good at that, and I am going to do some of that right now.

For starters, I just got off of work about an hour ago. I worked 13 hours. I am so sore and tired. It is all work on your feet, so I didn't really get to sit down. The only time I sat down was when I was polishing silverware for about 30 minutes. It was so crazy. I am so glad to get out of there.

This weekend, I had some fun. My friends and I went minigolfing and that was a blast. Here are some pictures from the course.

Well in the first picture I am sitting on some weird dinosaur looking thing. The second picture, I am getting eaten by a hippo. The third picture I am in jail, and the fourth picture is me and Katrina hanging on to a giraffe. That was a small giraffe too. They had a bigger one. It was huge. That day was just great. I had so much fun. Anyways, I guess that's all.

For all those in college who ever read this . . . have you changed since being in college? Like has your attitude changed? Here's why I ask.

My best friend Katrina whom I have known since Freshman year went off to college this year. Well actually all my friends pretty much went off to college, but I have noticed a huge change in Katrina. Well here's a little background information. She goes to Edgewood College in Madison. She made friends there right away, but they are smokers. Not just cigarettes, but they do drugs as well. She used to never swear, but even since she started college, she has started swearing. Not a lot, but she does. She also is the one that always said that tattoos are a stupid idea because when you are like 70, you aren't going to like it and all that jazz, and now she is thinking about getting one. I reminded her about what she said, and she was like, "Well I'll have to think of something that I will still like then." She is really changing, and I don't know if I like it. It's almost like we are switching roles. I was the rebellious one who always got into trouble and did a bunch of stuff people wouldn't like, and she was the one who never swore or did anything bad. She hardly ever lies and such, and now it is totally different. Well she still doesn't really lie, but that isn't the point. She is changing. I almost feel as if we aren't really best friends anymore. We have a blast when we hang out, but other than that, things are different. I don't like the change. I don't have any friends around here anymore except for like three. I work with one, and the other two go to school. Blah. I wanna be in school. I hate the working life right now. I would give anything to go back to school.

Reality? What is it? I guess I have asked myself that question a lot. I have always been dependent on people when I need things. People have always done stuff for me, but now I realize, that I am on my own. I can't depend on my parents anymore. I am 18. I just got a job . . . finally, after what seems like forever. I have to do my own taxes, set up my own doctors appointments and everything else like that. Now for those of you who know me, setting up appointments is going to be very hard for me to do. The only thing I don't have to do is pay rent and buy my own food and stuff. I still live with my parents. That won't change. I started my job yesterday. It is a pain, but we made it fun. I work at Geneva National as a banquet server. Last night, it was a wedding reception. I didn't break, drop, or spill anything. I had a few people tell me I did a good job. I was very happy when I left, but I woke up very sore today. Today was an amazing day. I went up to Madison with Jamie and we hung out with Katrina. We went shopping and minigolfing. It was just so much fun. I had starbucks twice today. Purely amazing I should say. It was really good. I guess I really should get to bed. I have to get sleep to make sure I am up for church. Good night everyone who doesn't read this.

I just realized that it has been about two weeks since my last post. Well, I guess it really isn't a big deal because no one reads this anyways. I almost find it a waste of my time writing this blog. Well who cares. I am going to write it anyways because I already started, and well, there is really no point in turning back. I'm not a quitter.

So let's see what good stuff I have to post. I think I might make a list.

Good things that happened

• I got a job
• Vikings won the game this weekend
• Packers lost the game this weekend

Bad things that happened

• I have been babysitting to the point that I am wiped out
• I had to tell the Nuñez family that I can't babysit for them anymore . . . at such short notice.
• I had to do a system recovery on my computer and lost EVERYTHING. Every picture and video on the computer is gone.

So let's just explain these things. We had our county fair the first week of September and what not, and there I hung out with my friends Jamie and Katrina. Well, Jamie knew that I needed a job. I was getting threated to be kicked out if I didn't get one. She talked to her boss to see if we could work the same hours if I got the job since I don't have a license. Her boss said yes, so she brought me an application on the last day of the fair. I went home, filled it out and gave it to her the next day or day after that. She took it into her work, and I had an interview on Tuesday. Well, I got the Job, and I start on Friday, tomorrow. I am working at Geneva National as a banquet server. I'll blog about it later on how it goes. . . maybe. So because of this job, I had to tell Suzette and Antonio Nuñez that I can't watch the kids anymore. I had been watching them since the start of school and was supposed to watch them till December. Well, that didn't happen. I was so upset when I had to tell them, but I am not going to get enough money for college if I only babysit for three hours a day. It just isn't going to work that way.

I have been babysitting so much lately though. Just today, I had an 8 month old baby for 9 hours. She wiped me out. My Sundays have been taken over by babysitting. Sunday School promotion was two Sundays ago and I haven't been to church yet since that happened. The first Sunday, I didn't get home from babysitting until 3 AM, so I ended up sleeping through my alarm. 4 hours of sleep isn't really that healthy anyways, but yeah, I was sleeping. Last sunday, I was supposed to be with the family, but we didn't end up doing anything. I could have gone to church, but I didn't know that until it was too late. Hopefully I will be there this Sunday. I am hoping. I probably won't know until Saturday night. I guess that really is all I have to say. I don't have a picture to post since all the pictures on my computer were erased. Have a very good day to everyone that reads this.
