88 degrees and Sunny Makes for a Great Day!

It's been over a week since I've posted a blog entry, but I have been going through what has seemed to me like severe writers block. I don't know if it was a combination of working, my birthday (20th!!), or just being distracted with every day things that has kept me from writing, but regardless I think I can get back on track now.

(I just want to note that it is hard to keep up with a blog. But I now realize that having consistency in your postings is just as important as the writing itself.)

Now onto my purpose for today's post, the fact that tomorrow has the potential to be a great day.

First of all, the weather is supposed to be beautiful. The 7-day forecast on my Mac's dashboard claims that it will be 88 degrees and sunny. Sounds like the perfect day to lay out and catch some rays to me! Also, I will be meeting with a potential roommate for next year with my current roommates, and (so far) she seems really nice! I have to say that meeting with all of these people that I could possibly be living with for an entire year, can be really nerve wrecking. Especially since its going to be a small 3 bedroom apartment on the outer rim of Dinkytown with 4 other people (5 including myself!). Obviously, we will probably get tired of eachother at times..but eliminating that as much as possible is important. So its obviously important that we all get along.

BUT, that meeting is not even going to happen until tomorrow night, the main event is all happening at Pablos.

For those of you that are not already aware, Pablos is the Mexican restaurant that I have employed as my second job for the summer. I try very hard not to complain about it, because I am a very fortunate college student to have TWO summer jobs. But, I have a feeling that tomorrow could make or break my attitude towards it for quite a while.

You see.. right at this very moment a good chunk of my family is on their way to Tennessee and Florida to visit my Dad's sisters and my Cousins. And I am missing out on all of the action. The original plan was for me to stay back at home and work because I need the money to be able to pay for that lovely, small (yet cute), overly priced apartment of mine. But now that they have left, I am not so fond of this plan. Lets be real here people, its FLORIDA!! Not very many 20-year-olds from Minnesota would pass the opportunity for a vacation in Florida, unlike yours truly.

So how does Pablos fit into this?? Well, early yesterday morning as a realized that I wanted to meet up with my family, I went to Pablos as early as I could to request the time that I needed off. Even though the schedule had not been posted or written yet, there is still a chance that I could be scheduled. GREAT! (not really...). It is SO unbelievably important to me that I am able to go down to Florida..I miss my family! All I can hope for is that my manager has enough people available to work that week, and a good attitude if she doesn't.

I guess tomorrow is sort of a glass half full, glass half empty kind of day...its all how you look at it. Either way, Im hoping for a week off from work, cheap airline tickets, a great prospective roommate and for the weatherman to actually know what he is talking about.

love, one hopeful gal,
