95%

Woohoo! I just got out of my Journalism class where I was handed back the first test that I got a 95% on! Yeah! I was a little worried when the professor made comments about grading generously which meant we should be scared, implying that we did not do to well. I am so glad he wasn't talking about me.

In other news, work is going well. Restaurant drama does exist but at the Blue Heron, at least, its not that bad.

I am working on dropping my History class. I know, sad, but the homework is getting in the way of my other classes that count for something and that I am enjoying much more. Unfortunately I have to get a form signed a few times and its going to cost me something like $10 but right now I'm seeing it as worth it.

Tomorrow I meet with a Career Development Center (CDC) counselor to talk about general things like career options and how to go about getting them. I also have to decide my major soon and I am stuck between a rock and a hard place: English and Journalism. Maybe I can do both, maybe I'll do one and then get a job in the field of the other. We'll see. I am thankful for the CDC, they have already helped me to write a resume and now they're going to help me figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life, or at least a small part of it anyway. I also like the fact that the CDC has the same acronym as the Center for Disease Control, makes me laugh. Ha! (That was me laughing...)

And I think I've had too much coffee...

First Day

Today I did my first day of waitressing at the Blue Heron restaurant here in Charles City. It was pretty good, a lot harder than I thought but good. I only dropped one plate, some blue cheese dressing and put in one wrong item. And I got a 20% tip on the tables so it couldn't have been that bad. Or they just felt sorry for me...

Now I am exhausted. At least I don't have school until 10am tomorrow so I don't have to wake up until 7:30am...
