Hm, that week sort of got away from me a little bit. Finals, you know. Tuesday is my last day of classes until after New Years’, can you believe it? It is like the longest break ever. (Cannot wait.) Apparently it makes up for the fact that between the winter and spring quarters we have about a week off, which translates into six straight months of class, the last third during which everyone has turned into a zombie and wants to eat their own head just to make the workload stop. Lookin’ forward to that!

Other than school, which is hard and annoying, I guess I’ve just been working my two jobs. Did I ever explain the part where I got a second job? I believe not, so let me do that now. So, you know I was working as a hoecake-giver-outer at that restaurant downtown. They have a waiting list to become a server or bartender, and depending on the turnover of the serving staff you have to be doing one of the lower-level jobs for at least a few moths, sometimes a year. So I am on the list and waiting for that, because once I become a server I will make tons o’ dough.

However about a month ago I looked at my financial affairs and decided that, until that day arrives, I can’t live on just my hourly wage working 3-4 shifts a week, and school is so intensive that I can’t work more than 3-4 shifts a week. So I had to find a serving job to supplement that one. Soooo, I lucked out and found the perfect one - at a chichi little wine and tapas bar, where I only work every Friday night (which happens to be their biggest night) and make enough tips that it totally helps me out, bills-wise.

Now I work 2 shifts a week at the first restaurant, just to keep my foot in the door, and every Friday night at the wine bar. It is fine, and I still have Thursdays and/or Saturdays to go out with friends, if I am so inclined. Which I, you know, am.

So what are you guys up to this weekend? I will be finishing up three paintings, studying for an art history exam, and reworking a paper. I am so ready to bid this term ADIEU, I cannot even tell you. Have a good day!
