i'll be honest..

i'm feeling a tid bit antsy to get the hell outta syracuse. a little bit annoyed w/ people in general and schoolwork and work work. think a little change in scenery would do me good. some quality time w/ friends and family is in order. i really miss my gabs and tine and my mom (oh my!). mostly i miss her cooking. yup. so next year christa and i are living in day hall 201. WOOT! haha. i guess home is the mount for me again.

got a few things to look forward to before going home though. the fashion show! for one. snoop doggy dogg. for two. no more classes! for three.

things i'm not looking forward to: the rest of this week. all the bullshit work i must do. final crits. more suoc turmoil. packing. saying goodbye..

did you know that you can expect to make 363 "mates" in your lifetime, but only 6 of them will be your true friends? what makes a good friend?

yikes

haven't written here in awhile.. this weekend was chris and christa's "wedding," which was definitely memorable. wish i could have stayed longer and witnessed more mayhem, but i had to be a good girlfriend and take care of sick steve on his birthday :-( poor kid!
gosh, today i pretty much stayed in bed and read the course catalog over and over again, picking classes, until i had to get my butt to work, i mean hell. i really like how today we closed and still had absolutely NOTHING done. no pre-close dishes, no pastries put away, no urns cleaned, no nothing! it was crazy. i was only scheduled until 10:30p, but i stayed an extra hour b/c i felt bad. when i left at 11:30, things weren't even close to being done. it puts all the times i ever complained about work to shame. the state of the store today.. definitely a kodak moment. plus, i really think my manager is out to get me. for some reason she really doesn't like me. wants to get me fired! last time i worked, there was a broken rice crispy treat and i was like, "jenn wanna save that broken one for me?" so she did, and it was my dinner. it was broken, so we're supposed to mark them out b/c they're unsellable, but then later she's like "sara don't forget to pay for your treat." and i was like ??? hmm, okayyyy... and didn't make anything of it. then work was crazy as it always is, and i left and completely forgot to pay the $1.05 for the freaking pastry. then today! as we were closing, meri was like "so did you ever pay for that rice crispy treat the other day? jenn made me go into the computer and search for your transaction yesterday for like 10 minutes, in the middle of a huge rush." what the hell?!?! ridiculous. i'm really glad in the grand scheme of things, that one broken pastry i shouldn't have had to pay for in the first place is more important than scheduling enough people to work and getting the order right, so we're not out of lids and caramel and rags and all that nonsense that goes wrong in the store. what awesome priorities. i miss sky and my old store. it will be nice to go back this summer...
speaking of summer... it's fucking right around the corner. scary. i can't believe it. where the hell did the semester go?
i think i'm getting homesick again. though i don't really want to leave yet..
