It's Thursday night. Tomorrow is Friday. Then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, then Tuesday, then I'm in SPAIN! I seriously cannot believe how close it is. When I applied for the program back in November, the move across the ocean was something that was so far in the future. Who knew it would come so quickly?
The past week has been a blur of trying to buy things for the trip, start packing, finish working, and doing anything and everything else you could possibly think of. I've been updating every piece of technology in my life. I bought myself a new camera and iPod shuffle. I was able to complain enough to AT&T about the poor state of my Android and they kindly sent me a (hopefully) better Blackberry. Then tonight, I cashed in my graduation present promise from my parents and they bought me a new MacBook Air! It's a beautiful thing. Really. It weighs so much less than my old Pro and works so much better. With all of these new toys to play with, Tuesday is going to be here before I know it.
The last few shifts at the restaurant were actually really good. Knowing the end was in sight, I was in such a relaxed mood and really none of my tables got to me. If I go back next summer, I swear I'm going to start a blog about the stories I get from that place. I seriously think that if MTV wants the next "Jersey Shore," they just have to put some cameramen in Clyde's and follow the staff around, both during and after hours. One of my favorite stories of the last days was a woman who tried to tell me that instead of the Manhattan clam chowder she had ordered, that she received a beef and vegetable soup. When I told her we didn't have beef and vegetable soup and that she was indeed eating clam chowder, she showed me a piece of clam on her spoon and said, "See...beef!" This soup debate went on for a solid 3 minutes. I don't think I ever convinced her.
Sister, I am SO HAPPY that you are writing a blog for your time in Spain! Please keep the entries coming!
