So it finally happened I actually attended a class that discussed, in depth my favorite subject. POO. The lecture was entitled elimination...so proper. I laughed out loud numerous times. My classmates will tell you that my laughing is frequent.
School is awesome. Sometimes it is a drag and i wonder why they are wasting time teaching me this shit, but mostly I am super glad to be where I am . I have some really wonderful classmates and have become really close to a few of them. I can't wait to see what the next year and seven months will bring.

AHHHH
So days after the last post I found out that I was on the wait list for school. I was mad, sad and anxiously awaiting an acceptance call. It came a week before school started on May 19. I was so excited my wonderful family dropped everything and my super parents took us all out to a fabulous restaurant. It was all so surreal.
Then school started. The first week, after I had signed my contract, I felt like I would never make it through the first semester let alone 6. I was sure that I would have to pay back all the money after only going to school for this one semester.
Things are looking brighter. I have been doing well and I am passing everything. I am super stressed and am lacking on sleep and fun times. It sometimes seem daunting but I will make it through. I mean I couldn't really get a cushier ride. Tuition paid for, books paid for, and a job when I get done. Come on now.
I am super happy to be in the program, I just have to remind myself of the things that will come after school. I want to send many thanks to my parents. My dad is awesome, he may not understand all that I talk about, I may skip some important things, but he is always there full of support. I love that. My mom always encouraging and standing right there by my dad to help him when he can not quite grasp what I have going on. Super Duper power sisters that I have. You all put up with so much from me. I love that you all keep me so in line and that you actually want to spend time with my grumpy ass is amazing. Friends if you only new how much I wanted to put off everything and just chill. I would give anything to hang out and not have a care in the world.
Thanks for all that you all do. School will be done in slightly less than 2 years. I take the NCLEX with 6 months of that and god willing get to start to practice Nursing. Then I hope all that you remember about me during this time is how thankful I am.

Nursing School
I have been working on getting into school. Sometimes I am really working hard on stuff and other times not so hard. Well I am on the waiting list for a program. The program is sponsored by the University Hospital and run through Salt Lake community college. It is free. I pay nothing and have to sign a contract to work for UHC for three years. I am number #2 on the alternate list.
Send all the good vibes that you can spare my way so that I can start school on May 19.

reflections
So the other day I worked a double at Porcupine. For those out of touch with restaurant lingo...that means that I worked to shifts which ends up basically being all day, open to close, and most likely more than 12 hours or really stinking close. I was just helping someone out. I did it once before and I swore never to do it again, and this time I mean it.....never. Well maybe....just kidding Jess. I promise.
The day shift was blah and I was not all the way with it. Nothing remarkable happened nothing was dropped, forgotten or lost. All was moderately okay....is that possible. I drank the night before and did not run or exercise before I went to work so I was not 100% Jacque. Sucks right.
The night shift went great. I was upstairs my first few tables were awesome. Skiers and men. I do not have to say anything else. I then got a 7 person table. It was all women. They already had drinks, due to the long wait for a table. I had their waters and everything ready for them. I greeted them on time, offered and ordered their apps at their leisure....I understand that it takes women a long time to agree on things. Whatever. The first thing I hear while I am standing their waiting for their attention is one person saying "you won't believe what I did. I actually made friends with my sisters -in-laws." The person saying this is sort of slouched in her chair and you can tell she is the take charge sort (by that I mean she is bossy...she re-ordered for the girl next to her...something different...by the way). My first impression....Jesus Christ....what a bitch.
Apps and drinks come entrees are on the way, more drinks. I am doing the general filling of waters, clearing, and all the things you expect as a diner. Everything comes on time, it is correct, I brought extra plates and condiments for all those sharing. All which it expected and due to you as a patron. I split the bills, even though it was not specified at the beginning, which is hard with so many drink and split items. I told them it would take a few extra minutes to do this.
This 7 top of women chill for a few more minutes...prob 10. I get the receipt and the bossy yet relaxed lady had left me a nice little reminder on how to treat people.
"It would have been nice if you could have shown a little kindness I was displaying it. I would have tipped you tripple."(sic)
This lady needs to fuck off. I only reflected the poorly created image that she was displaying. I was laughing and having a good time with the rest of my tables. Basically she and I did not really jive with each other and as you all know I have a hard time hiding these things. I show how I feel clearly in all my facial expressions and I was also probably tired.
The main theme of this bloggy is that I don't have to kiss your ass just because you are eating at my restaurant. I will not kiss your ass. I will not be fake to your ass unless I want to do so. I do not need your money if it means sacrificing anything like my personal dignity. Think about that the next time you go out. Most likely she did not think about this. I am a person I have judgements, reservations and I can make up my own mind. I will do all of these things all the time, or whenever I choose to, so be careful how you treat me. You just might get the exact same in return.

Ahhhh
Seriously....I am trying really hard to remember that I even have this blog. Thanks Mel for reminding me.
I am having such a good time with everything right now I just don't think that I can write anything. usually everything I write is mean. So I might just have to say hi to you all....no one prob checks anymore cause I have not been here for months....oh well.
When something bad happens or I start to feel poopie I think I will stop in a write some of the awful things that I see and experience. But for now....laugh.
