Day 1

There have been a lot of "day ones" lately, but today if day 1 for braces... Oh holy mother of toothache!!!!!!!!!!! It's like somebody tightening up my whole jaw and holding it there whilst telling me that for the next 18 months i'm not allowed sweets or chewing gum- evil or what?? Holy CRAP!!! It's gonna be a longggggg 18 months...
Day 1 and counting..

Ten minutes later: Damnit it's still day 1! This shit hurts.

First Day At Work

First day went awesomenessly!!! =)
Was reasonably busy for a Monday therefore gave me enough challenges. People there are awesome also, which made it so much better... I nearly tripped over a kid whilst going to clear a table- kid was so short!!!- and i think i've polished more glasses today than i have in my entire life.

Had to learn the hard way that one should NOT pick up hot huge plates or knives right out of the dishwasher- this was proven when the knife nearly landed in somebody's eye, but luckily they didn't notice.
Another important lesson was: NEVER wear new shoes to work. Ever. Not a good idea, even if you think they'll be fine, they actually won't. Felt like i was stepping on glass and brushing against cactuses..

One of the pluses of this job is that i get free lunch right from the chef- i had prawns!! =) Lunch took away some of the pain from my feet. =)
Overall a very good start; it felt like i made a good start with all the staff and i enjoy working with them.
Thumbs up! So far so good.

Mission Babysitter - Successful

Babysitting last night went pretty damn awesomely. I did of course imagine the worst (having to tie them to the car and run out of the burning house whilst a kid was hanging on to my hair and puking) but fortunately kids like me more than i like them. Yay to that. Actually, i sort of like them- cool kids they are. Somehow i related to them- maybe because their ages relate to my maturity levels? Yeah... shockingly enough we had fun. And i got paid to watch somebody else's TV, which btw is HUGE. Going again next Friday, apparently kids gave me a good report. =)

In Business!

Oh and what a week it's been... and it's not over yet- one more day with 2 more practice exams and 5-6 hours of sweet school torture. I'm in over my head with coursework, essays, exam papers, and this week also food poisoning- not cool.

Tomorrow though is where it all starts spiralling towards long awaited WORK. Yes, tomorrow i officially start working. Babysitting is a start anyways; i meet the brats tomorrow...God help me. Anyways it all gets better Monday- waitressing starts then. =)

Now...since exams don't take any notice of my otherwise pilling up schedule, some chemistry revision needs doing. I want Saturday...........

Oooooo No You Didn't!!

A weekend of ups and downs directly proportional to computer and no computer. Aaaahhhh so i'm grounded. They took Leopold away from me twice, so they were mad at me and i was mad at them. Well, of course i would be mad, it's dear Leopold, my beloved laptop!!! Story goes that on Thursday night i spent "too much time" on it, since on Wednesday i hadn't even turned it on. It got ugly when on Friday afternoon i noticed an empty space on my desk- not good! I gave them the evils and the usual grunting and moaning of a computerless teenager so we came to an agreement. I love that. We compromise on stuff so well that if there was a compromising championship we'd win it. I guess that's what makes this family work. I agreed to 2 hours a day (including homework or research online) on the computer and they agreed to extend this after a while, when they know they can "trust me not to abuse it". Fair enough. I have exams anyways so it actually sounds like a good plan.

Otherwise an awesome weekend with some awesomeness good old quality friends&family time.

You Are a Chocolate Cheesecake

Rich and greedy, you're attracted to the dark side of life. Nothing ever quite satisfies your inner beast. And somehow, people find that sexy.

I finally graded last night!!! It was in Bridgwater which is a 2 hour drive away and could be called ChavVille, but contrasting the awful town, my grading went awesomely. Everybody was a complete stranger to me apart from my mom and my instructor; i don't know what i would've done without them there for moral support. After i was done my instructor gave me a cheerly thumbs up and so did my mom when i looked for her in the crowd for reassurance. I was so so nervous i think i didn't breathe through the whole thing. Finished with an A pass and a mention!! Mom told me that when i was called to stand up for i had received an A pass, she jumped up dancing through all the people and screaming. LOL... Insane? Maybe. Happy? Definitely.
I guess the 4 hours of driving, the hour and a half there and the exhaustion of a full day payed off after all. =)

Violet Hill

Radio 1 has played Coldplay- Violet Hill for the first time today and since then i can't stop listening to it. Coldplay is pure genius...
My music preferences change every week or so, meaning next week i might be obsessed with Britney Spears. Ya never know.

P.S grading tomorrow. =)
