Hello World

I'm alive!!!

alright now that i have that out of the way, sorry for being invisible for so long!! my life has just been a constant stream of eat, sleep, work, repeat. i have been working a lot of doubles (lunch at the tea room then on to 56 for dinner) so i really have not had any time at home for the past week or so. i have been super tired and have not really been able to do the things that i normally like to do. i have been making a decent amount of money at 56 and it has been beneficial to work as many nights as possible.

it has been fun to get to know the other people at downtown 56. most of us are around the same age and have built nice sense of comradere. a lot of us started around the same time so we've been learning and everything together. there is a small group of us that have been hanging out after work which has been fun.

i have been able to spend a little bit of time with the other girls who are still in town, but between their class schedules and my work schedule it's mostly in random passing that i see them. we are planning on going down to lynchburg to spend the day at hanshill for memorial day which i am really excited about. the tea room is closing for memorail day and 56 is normally closed on mondays anyway, so i have 2, count them TWO days off in a row!!

on wednesday nights there is a bible study for all the girls who are still in harrisonburg, so we are all getting ready to head to that in a few minutes. it's nice to get to catch up with everyone during the week and sit for a while.

mk this might not have been the greatest or most exciting update, but... this is my life right now! just plain not too exciting. but i know that this will be worth it when i get to london!! oh and speaking of that, i applied for and recieved my work visa!! woohoo, i'm official!! the handbook that came it has been really fun to look through and it makes me so excited!!

Busy!

Hey everyone! sorry for the slow updates lately, the past few weeks have been pretty crazy. between the two jobs, young life stuff, and then graduation this weekend i've been all over the place!

we had a graduation party here yesterday afternoon with all of our families which was really fun. mamma and daddy came up for the afternoon and were able to go by and see the tea room before the party started. we cooked out, played batchi ball and had pina coladas. it was really great to have all the families there, i always forget that my parents have never met some of my best friends' parents!

work at downtown 56 has been going pretty well, i'm starting to get the hang of it and starting to feel like i'm making friends with some of the people which is good. the scheduling has gone well so far, though i just looked at my schedules for this week and there is one overlap, so i'll have to figure that out.

i have a cashier's check and my transcripts and everything ready to send to BUNAC this week to get my work visa!! woohoo!!

alright, that's all for now, just a short update!
