Alright - so the chai will have to wait, I feel like writing about other things right now.
I started working at NIU finally, about 3 weeks ago and know that all of the experience I'm going to gain this year is going to be amazing. I am going to be working until I'm tired, I know that. But, I really believe in all the stuff that I am working toward, so it's a lot easier to show up and just grind it out. This also means that whole "over-comitting" thing didn't really work out. But, it's not because I did any more than I said I was going to do as I moved here. I just didn't anticipate how much work it would be to be doing what I am doing.
That being said, I just got a job working on an organic farm helping with serving at weddings. Pretty cool, the two people I met seem pretty laid back, and I just go the general feeling that it was a laid back place. I'm very excited. They were talking about needing someone to take an assistant position in the interview and I didn't offer up right away because I wasn't sure of my hours. I'm going to check it out and see what they say today about it.
I may be getting bartender certified, so that's pretty cool. This is just another thing off of the jobs I wanted to do before I die list. I don't know why I want to try everything, but I feel so fortunate that I have had the opportunity to do so. This job is seasonal, so I will be back on the hunt in October, but I am happy with what I have...and it should allow me some time during the week to actually do homework! Yay! :)
