Wine Gala

Today is the big day for our Program! It's the Wine Gala day. I'm trying really hard to be excited for it, but I will be working the event and not participating in it. Just a small update now, but the Wine Gala also marks the last 3 weeks of school! That's the really exciting part, and kind scary part too. I still have to find a job in 3 weeks, which is getting to be more and more pressure. It feels really good to be done school though.

Crunch

I'm feeling the crunch now, because school is almost done, and my job will be running out a week after school is out. Not only is it almost time for exams and end of school work.. but I won't have a job as of April 24th!! Which is great, if I had another job, or was not in need of a job because I was making too much money. But this is not the case.. YET! I plan to make it the case. I have to make it the case. On the good side for right now, school is almost done, and spring is in the air!

Sick for March Break

Well, not much to report now, besides the fact that I'm sick for March Break. Which is ok I guess, because if it was while I was in school, I would be missing too much school for the last few weeks of it! I still don't like being sick anyways. But I digress. I am almost done and having a great time with school. Just still need to find a job. Anybody have any leads or offers?

CARS!

I'm getting more and more excited as the time is getting closer for me to get a Car! I can't wait, just a few more weeks of school, and then finding a job, and then I've got myself a brand new vehicle! I just need to decide on which car now. I really like the Ford Fusion, I test drove one on the weekend. I also test drove a Cobalt, which was nice, smaller than the Fusion though. I've been told not to get stuck on a car, because it may get sold or something like that, and to just keep my options open for it, but I really like the Ford Fusion. Even though I've seen so many on the roads, and it seems like everyone has one, I still like it.

Car soon!

I'm very excited that school will be out soon, but I'm more excited that I will be getting my car once I graduate! That is going to be great! I can't wait.
On another note, March is going to be a busy month for me. I've got concerts to attend, goals to run hard for, and people to help! I can't wait. It's getting to be an exciting journey!

Game Night

My parents are gone to St. Catharines for the weekend, for a baby shower, and I'm here watching the dog at home. She would have loved to go for the car ride, but it's not always easy to house her when we get there. Anyways, Fargo won't be too lonely today because I'm having some people over for game night, which is always fun! Melissa and I usually plan this (or someone else does and we go there) so we know it'll be fun this time too! As for Fargo, she'll have a blast meeting some people today!

Bad News

First I'd like to share a little bit about yesterday before I begin with the bad news. It all started with work.. of course. Work started off slow, which was unusual for a Tuesday mid-day. The restaurant was pretty empty, but the rush had not even started when I got there. A few tables had arrived, and a little while later, as some left I was slammed with a crowd of so many people, and I had not taken care of that many people before like that. I was messing up orders and getting really stressed out! I was not happy with myself, but I kept thinking, this too shall pass. Good words, and it worked, because it did pass and I survived. I learned a lot that day, about myself, about how I need to do more work to get better in certain areas. Anyways, no more complaining about days gone by..
So today, my dad tells me that he only has 3 more months to work at his current job. This is not good news at all, and I'm not worried so much, because I know that God is in control. Along with the bad news is some great news. Now we have more motivation to get to know more people and grow our businesses! It's new motivation, like a fire has been lit, under our butts!

The Cycle

Well, that was a great weekend, full of fun, good times, friends, partnerships, and learning. I wish the weekend would continue, but now it's time to start up the cycle all over again and get back to Monday. A day that I do not look forward to while being in school. It is my longest day, and really drains me. But, I wont let this bother me or get me down anymore. I've got a dream to chase, a vision to pursue, and a better life waiting for me! I thank God everyday for how many learning opportunities I get each day, and now it's time to start that cycle up as well! Happy Monday!

Cruising..

It's nice that it's the weekend already, although that means time is just flying by now, which isn't always a good thing. I'm glad that I have a nice long weekend while I'm in school, but would prefer to have all my days off and maybe travel one day. Anyways, I just wanted to give a little update before the weekend. I'm a bit nervous about having 5 exams next week, but I know that I'll do great and they wont be that bad. I'm really surprised that this semester is already more than half over! Just a few more weeks and we'll be taking our final exams and then saying good-bye to school. It's exciting times now. Looking forward to what lies ahead, but still wanting to enjoy this time now. Have a great weekend!

Family Day

Whoever thought of this day, Family Day is pretty smart. It seems kind of weird to just have a Monday off randomly, but I'm sure glad I have it off. It adds to a nice extra long weekend for me. I was able to finish up some homework that I would have otherwise not been able to do. Anyways, in saying all this, breaks are good. Breaks from work and school are always nice to have. Maybe even a permanent break from work would be good? With pay!

Weekend Thoughts

What a great weekend. Nothing went as planned, and it seemed like a total disaster at times. I know it may seem weird that I said that this was a great weekend, but it was. It was, and still is, a great opportunity to learn from. It wasn't all bad, and the good things I will remember, and the not so good things I will learn from. Fantastic Weekend!

Stuck..

Today was a good day. It was long, but good. Sometimes I feel like I am stuck between two decisions however. On one hand I feel like just quitting my job as a server and getting something else because there are days when everything seems to go wrong, the money (tips) isn't there at the end of the shift, and people can be rude over nothing. Then on the other hand it's good learning experience, sometimes the week is good for tips (I was really surprised this week), and I enjoy serving others (just maybe not their drinks and burgers). I just wanted to get this out there. I know I will need another job really soon, so I should start looking now to get the experience and hours logged elsewhere.

First Entry

Here is my first entry on my new blog. Here I'm going to share what is going on with me and my life. I'll share my thoughts, ideas, feelings, experiences of each day. Thank you for sharing in my life.

I'm glad that school is almost over, and I'm actually enjoying the last few weeks we have left. (well 9, but it will fly by) Work is going well at Griff's, although I would like to find something else because I will need to anyways once school is out. That's what is going on so far.
