Someone needs to tug on the reins!

So, I know I talk about being busy all the time, but seriously, this past weekend was one of the busiest yet! Note that I am not complaining in the least, because I volunteered to be this busy. Don't be afraid to be busy! I love having tons of things to do, and I told myself that as long as I keep my grades up and make it to class and work on time and get enough sleep, I can be as busy as I can be!
This weekend, starting after class on Friday... I went to chunch (free lunch - I'll explain later), went home to fix my hair and make a to-go dinner, went out to Gallatin Gateway Inn for Madrigal Dinner rehearsal, Madrigal dinner went long, came home and went right to bed. Saturday got up early and headed straight for the library (because this is the last week of school already) and up to the SUB for another Madrigal dinner. A bunch of people from the choir went out afterwards, although I didn't stay out long because I had to get up early the next day. Sunday I worked at JoAnn Fabrics from 8-noon, biked over to my new job at Spectators, worked there until 5:30, Madrigal dinner at 5:45. My grandparents were in town yesterday to see the Madrigal dinner and I felt bad that I didn't get to see them much! But i loved that they were there and it is always good to see gramma and grampa! Today, is just as busy. Tour this morning at 9 class all day until 2 (except my 10:00 class was cancelled!) get on the choir bus at 3 to go to Big Sky for the final Madrigal Dinner. We should get back around midnight.

Tomorrow, expect some pictures of Madrigal dinner (if I can remember where I put my camera) :-)

My New Job!

I have always wanted to be a bartender because my dad was in college and he always used to tell me about how much fun it was. Well, this week I started bar-tending/waitressing at a bar close to campus called Spectators. Mostly college students and sports fans hang out there (probably because it is a sports bar on a college campus). It is a very nice change of scenery from JoAnn Fabrics, where I still work at on Sundays. My first day went very well, except I shattered a glass into the ice bin. The second day was still fun, but I was on my own and it was a little more intense and scary. I had to wait on my boss (the owner and his wife). I didn't know the answers to his questions and I typed his burger in wrong and I think he was a little upset. But he left a hefty tip and gave me really good pointers. I hope that I can be a stellar waitress soon. I did get a very nice note from a couple of ladies saying that I was doing a very awesome job on my first day. I kept the note and pinned it on my bulletin board (cheesy I know, but it makes me feel really good!) Other mishaps from my second day?... I messed up nearly every ticket I printed out and I dropped the ketchup refill bucket and it went everywhere... I am the world's biggest klutz. I had a dream last night where I spilled a ladies nachos on the floor and tried to hide it and she got sick and the whole thing was a mess. haha. Nonetheless, I really like my new job. So far, I really like everyone I work with and the customer crowd has been nothing but nice and supportive:-)
