Rachel...this is for you. :)

So, I've started another quarter at school, which is very different than anything I could ever expect. It's only my second week, and I've already had 4 projects due. Talk about fast moving and challenging. Anyways, it's nice to experience something different. While I cannot say that it's been the best time of my life (thus far), it's not the worst either. However, I've found the absolute best room at school. Technically, it's not at my school, but instead in the adjacent building. Semantics aside, I've found it: the closest coffee shop. It's called Hot Shots Espresso, and they serve snacks, Italian sodas, and most importantly...COFFEE. Yeah, it's an addiction and I just don't feel like kicking it quite yet. But, at least I don't have to walk all the way down the street to the Starbucks housed in the Barnes & Noble. Haha. I sound like a lazy bum...

On another note, I got to house-sit last week, for a family from church that went on a short vacation. They had two adorable dogs, that I absolutely loved. Although they were pampered more than I could believe, I was happy to do it. It's nice to be able to help people out when able to, you know?

So, I've been exceedingly busy with everything going on. Along with everyone else, I've been busy at work. Still working at Red Robin, but now I am being trained to be a trainer. Basically, I'll get to work with the incoming hosts and going through what they need to know, as well as being in charge of the host team (for the most part). It's a lot of responsibility, and it's not like I have a ton of time for it, but at the same time it's a great opportunity. Can't wait to be done with all this studying though! Can you believe I have to know what's on every single burger, just for hosting? Yeah, it's crazy...I know.

Anyways, I guess that's all for now. I wish I could say there was more going on in my life than school and work, but not so much for now. More later when actual exciting things are happening... :)

Wow, a post just for me! Maybe I should print this off and frame it, maybe not. I know what you mean about house-sitting just to be nice, however, Luke and I had a scary experience last time that may cause us to think twice before doing it again. I'll have to tell you about it later, it's too scary to write online! I remember when my days were just about school and work, but then it turned into just about work. But it gets better, hang in there. Thanks for writing!
Love, Rachel
