Tomorrow is my last day as a waitress..
I'm wondering how long I was expected to last at the Mexican restaurant... My mom thinks my co-workers had bets going. Haha that's possible, but when I decided to quit today, everyone was surprised. I think they were expecting it within the first two weeks, but after two months they were sure I would be there till August. And I thought I would be... but I got tired of my boss hitting on me, not getting enough sleep, not having more than a day off a week, not having enough time for homework, and such.
So once again, I'm jobless. Hopefully I'll be able to find something that I can transfer to Waco. This really has been an interesting experience.
Before working there I was so against illegal immigration, and I suppose that I still am, but I have a different view.

Finally... a weekend off.
I asked off for the Collide Festival, but with all the rains - it was cancelled. I was shocked that I even got the days off and then bummed that the festival was cancelled.. no Relient K this weekend.. how sad is that?! So I made up my mind to get out of town.
Yesterday I drove down to Austin to hang with my "cousin" and ended bumping into one of my real cousins when we were walking to dinner.. random. Anyway, now I'm sitting in her lovely apartment, waiting to go meet a friend for brunch. After that I'm thinking of doing some shopping in San Marcos, they have a killer outlet mall and I need a new swimsuit ;) Then it's on to the wonderful town of San Antonio. I think it's starting to become tradition to visit San An every year in the spring/summertime. I'm excited though, I get to see two of my best friends, enjoy the river walk, some floatin' on the river, and then I'll head back to Austin for another fun night before heading home.
Yes that is my weekend in a nutshell. I officially love having friends all over Texas that I can go visit on a whim.
So next time I blog.. I'll fill in any and all random adventures I had along the way.
Take advantage of the summer!! It only comes once a year! :)

Finally... I can blog.

I've been with limited internet access since being back home, so everytime I'm online I have a million things to do... and blogging just hasnt fit in. And then the few occasions I have had to blog, I have felt overwhelmed by the amount of information and the things that are happening in my life right now.

So it's summer. It's starting to feel like summer, though it is raining - a lot. My older sister is in New York this weekend, and I must say I am very jealous. I wish I had the money to fly back once a month and see a play, drink in the business of the city and eat at some of my favorite restaurants or have coffee at the Tea Lounge. Instead, I'm working. That has been the sole purpose of my life lately--work. I'm a server at the Mexico City Taqueria. While it's not actually in Mexico, I feel like I live there; I'm the only blonde hair, blue-eyed, English speaking person in the place. Everyone else is, you guessed it, from Mexico. It wouldn't bother me, except for the major language barrier. I understand some Spanish, but not enough to hold a decent conversation, and most of what I have learned has been written. Meaning, I know the words, but not how to pronounce them or it takes me a minute to understand what someone is saying. Ugh.. and I'm scared to death to try to speak Spanish.. I dont know why.. but I'll get over it very soon. I started Spanish 3 on Thursday. Haha I think I must be destined to live in Latin America or Spain. Aside from trying to understand Spanish 24/7 and half the time looking like an idiot as I have no idea what everyone is talking about, I have made some good friends and I do love working with them. Waitressing as a whole though, it's not for me... thank the Lord, this is temporary.

So my summer so far, I'm a server and I'm taking summer classes. I'm exhausted, but blessed. I'm hoping to visit friends soon. I'm missing the City. This is my life. I'm happy to be with my family, though one sister will be gone as a camp counselor all summer, and the other lives close to an hour away.

I'm sure a million other things are happening.. but thats all for now..
Once again.. I'm back in the blogosphere.
