EEK! @.@

@.@ Over a year since my last post?! OH NOES!!! *headdesk* ^^;

Anyway, since my last post...I think I posted about my first trip to see my boyfriend @.@ Yes, I got up to Canada. I went TWICE!! Now I'm just waiting to see if I'm accepted to the university I want to go to there. If so I'll be moving in September.

My first tip!!

Okay, so I started the waitressing job. It was SO nervewracking today, but I know I'll get better at it and it won't be as scary as time goes on. ANYWAY, today I got $16 in tips. ;3 Pretty stinkin' good for 4 tables. ^^ Also, it was my first day, so I messed up a little bit, but they still tipped!! ;DD

Sorry, I'm just so excited. ^^;

Okay, so I've set a date, also, for when I'm going to see my guy (who I had some major drama with this past Wed/Thurs). I'm flying up to him on May 29th and he's picking me up at the airport for me to spend the entire week with him. ;3 Now, this is provided I get the money for the air fare (probably around $650) and can get the week off from work (which my co-workers are pretty sure I can considering I'll have been working there for about 3 months by the end of that time).

Also, if you EVER take a waitressing job and you haven't ever done it before... There is so much memorization!! I can't believe how much I'm supposed to know off the top of my head. I mean, seriously, I have to memorize the entire lunch menu AND the dinner menu! I think I'll be fine, of course, once I get the hang of it, but it's getting the hang of it that's goign to be really really hard. ^^;

Sorry I didn't write for a while, though. There was so much drama and I didn't feel like I could say everything right here. I'm signing off for now, though, to go eat dinner and relax until I go in early tomorrow morning to do side work. ^^;

I have a job!

Sorry it's been so long since I've written. ^^;

Anyway, I interviewed for a position as a waitress yesterday and was hired on the spot. I was very excited yesterday and thanking God profusely (I think he had a lot to do with it). I've never waitressed before so it's going to be a very interesting experience, I think. I know most of the money is made through tips, but that's no big, I'm glad I'll be able to have the money more instantly so I know exactly what I have in saving up to see my guy.

I start job training tomorrow at 9:15 AM. Not super early, but earlier than I'm used to getting up. ^^; so tomorrow I'll wake up, get dressed, and head toward the restaurant, do my training (my boss (whose name is Ping, Pam, or Pen, I'm not sure, but I'm leaning toward Pam) said the initial training sessions will last about an hour to an hour and a half), then come home, shower, and likely write. It's a part time job so it'll be a shifting schedule, but that's okay. The restaurant's closed on Mondays so I'll always have that day off (hurray) and that means if my guy wants to talk Sunday nights it'll never be a problem (though he usually just goes to sleep most Sundays now...).

Beyond that we finally get to set a date to go meet! I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I feel like such a burden to everyone I talk to about it, though. ^^; I mean, there are all these questions and possibilities and 'what ifs', both good and bad. Like there's the, "What if he is only interested in me for sex?" and the, "What if we decide we really want to be serious?" There's also the possibility that he won't be able to get that week off from work or that we decide just to be friends (which might might be a little awkward for me) or that he won't like how I smell or that his sister might hate me or...*sigh* if I focus on the negative I'll get myself all worked up again.

So, yeah, I'm going to talk to him tonight and we'll set a date (probably) and then I'll start working toward that goal! So far I'm expecting the plane ticket to be in the $650-$750 range so I'm going to shoot for a nice round middle of $700 and hope that's enough. ^^;;

Remember, tip your waitress. She might be saving up to go see her boyfriend.

The job interview (My life is like an anime)

So I got up early this morning, got in the shower, and began washing, as I usually do. Except...there was one tiny problem (well, not so 'tiny' to me). I looked back and a roach crawled out of a crack in the wall. Now, y'all probably don't know me very well, but you should know now that I am terrified of roaches. I'm not scared of ghosts, I don't scream at horror movies, I don't get scared from haunted houses, but I will scream and run away at the sight of a roach. I got out of the shower as fast as I could and told my dad so he could fix the crack. Shortly after I went to iron the skirt I was going to wear for the job interview. We keep the iron in an old dish washer that never worked and I went to open it only to have a roach crawl out of it so I screamed and ran away and my dad killed it for me. ^^; Yay for fathers killing roaches!!

Then I ironed my skirt and ate lunch, then got dressed for the interview. After changing into the above-mentioned skirt and a sleeveless black top, I realized I needed to wear a necklace to tie the outfit together, so I began to climb over the mess in my room to get a necklace only to slip and fall, cutting my knee open, scraping my side, and bruising my arm. So, with a half hour before the interview time, I changed my outfit completely, cleaned and bandaged my wounds, and headed to the interview.

When I got there it seemed to be news to them that they had an interview scheduled, but we still had the interview and it was odd because they were asking me questions like, "If you saw a co-worker steal $5 from a register what would you do?" ... Um...that's 'stealing' something. I go to the person, tell them they need to put the $5 back and then go report them to the supervisor. ^^; It's kind of a no-brainer.

Also, they asked me if they'd find out anything I haven't told them by running a background check and, really, they wouldn't. *sigh* Oh well, I didn't get a definitive answer about whether I'll get a job there or not, but hopefully I'll know within the next couple days.

Some news

Okay! Tomorrow I has job interview! It's at Macy's, actually, as strange as that seems. I applied there during the holidays and didn't get an interview but it looks like they want to interview me now. ^^ Maybe things are looking up a bit.

I took a formal dress to a consignment shop (I need to take more clothes there, but I need to press and hang them first) and they told me that I could get $100 for it! I'm excited, though I know that the money won't come way too quickly. It'll still be something, though, and I'm glad I'm making the effort. I think my boyfriend is happy about it, too, because it'll do something to give me the money toward what I need and he'll be happy to see progress.

Tomorrow I plan to go out, interview for that job, then take some clothes to a consignment shop to get more money. I have to get enough for that plane ticket and landing a job would really help...

Valentine's Day

I'm so excited! Tonight my boyfriend and I get to have a little bit of an online date. I know it sounds silly, but I look forward to it. It's time spent with him and I love him so much. <3

Anyway, people have told me that since he's been in other physical relationships before that he's going to cheat on me. To them I say, that's crap. He's not uncontrolled, he's not a horrible person. He's smart, kind, gentle, and moral, so why should I be worried about him cheating on me?

See, it's when people say that stuff that it gets you paranoid. I like where I am with things and I know, for a fact, that my boyfriend isn't playing me. *sigh* I think I'll make another post later, just talking about the rest of the day.

Possibilities on the horizon

There are two jobs I could possibly get this week. I seriously hope that I get at least one. I don't mind having both, either. It would be interesting. I want to get something so that I can go meet my boyfriend this summer. It would be awesome to do, definitely, and I so want to meet him.

But I do have possibilities on my horizon, so I'll hopefully have a job within the next week and if I do then I'm setting a date with my guy to go and meet him. ;3
