Today I'm coming to realize that I cannot relax even a tiny bit if I know I have a paper due that I should be doing. This is ridiculously frustrating when I'm on vacation but all I can think about is writing my papers! However, as a result, I am completely done with my two lab reports, my philosophy essay, and 1/3 of my human-animal interactions paper so all that is left is 2/3 of my paper! Hopefully after I complete that I'll finally get into vacation mode and be able to relax a little! I definitely at least will when I head to Brisbane in EXACTLY ONE WEEK! We actually finalized all of our adventures a couple days ago so it should make for a fabulous trip that I will talk all about when I come back!
Working has also become less of a hassle now that I'm really getting second nature at taking orders and have basically memorized the menu by now. Last night I took a table of at least 15 people, and besides the fact that they were really strange people and wanted their cake before their meal (and even weirder was the fact that everyone in the restaurant watched as they dug their hands, not cutlery, into the beautiful cake and hand fed everyone at the table. I really hope they had washed their hands...), everything else went smoothly! Of course after 2 hours of them sitting at their table and ordering countless plates of food, they could not afford a five dollar tip to the waitress that made it all flawlessly happen, but I guess that's just Australia. But now that everyone in Arcadia seems to be trying to save money and not go out on weekends or anything anymore, I actually might keep my job until the end of the semester. It's a REALLY nice feeling having an extra 200-300 dollars in my pocket every Sunday and I could actually come back to America with some money. Or just use it all on souvenirs and more trips while I'm here. We'll see which actually happens!
