i cut my finger yesterday.
Stupid me.
i was sharpening my knives getting all excited using a piece of paper to test how sharp it was.
it's no big deal tiny cut.
but it makes me more nervous.
i'm excited to leave.
i know i'll miss it once i'm there
but right now all i can see is the light at the end of the tunnel.
i bought my ticket.
and although i'll be back on monday i'm glad to get a taste.
i'm just super super nervous.
what if none of the restaurants i'm staging at wants me.
i'm determined not to get ahead of myself.
and if they don't want to hire me i can always ask for an externship.
so there is that.

p.s. i love that cockuzzi played the gin blossoms

DJ-ango? who's that?

i am currently actively looking for employment in chicago.
i've been applying to several places via craigslist and have yet to hear a reply
but i will not give up yet because at this point a paying externship is better, especially when i'm not certain of the help i'm getting, than a free one.
other than that.
my grandmother is getting better.
i'm glad she's praying if it helps her.
she seemed to perk up after the visit to the hospital and after a big portion of her family showed up.
also my brother got his diploma .
i'm proud of him.
though i wish things weren't so complicated that he had to get it now and now when he was 17.
i'm at the bistro right now.
working for school i mean.
i do prep all morning which can be pretty awesome considering the food we prep is actually eaten by the public.
though i'm not exacty excited to head back to the classroom.
speech and psychology.
we'll see.
