I Start my Job Today

I am going to be a waitress again. This time, I'm actually excited because the restaurant is nice-Charleston's. I start training today, because it's a new restaurant and it's opening on Sunday. I'm glad everyone is training together-we are all in the same boat and none of us really know what is going on yet, so that makes me feel better. I'm also going to nanny during the day. Hopefully, my plan works and I won't be too tired and I will be able to save money for my student teaching this fall. I am glad to start work. I had this past week off and I felt like it went by so SLOWLY because I had nothing to do. I feel like it has been summer forever already. I needed to rest, since I was sick, but I am so ready to be busy again. It's weird to think that this is my last summer as a college student, and crazy to think of where I could be by next summer. I really have no clue. That's kind of exciting.

I Wish They Would Leave

Do you ever wish certain memories of people, from your past, would leave your mind? I know it's good to learn from mistakes, and to learn from interactions from people, but sometimes I can't help thinking that. That might sound awful, but I was listening to Glen Hansard's song "Leave" and it made me think that thought. He says it better than me:

Leave, leave,
And free yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
I don't understand, you've already gone

And I hope you feel better
Now that it's out
What took you so long
And the truth has a habit
Of falling out of your mouth
But now that it's come
If you don't mind

Leave, leave,
And please yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you came to now
Leave, leave,
Leave, leave,
Let go of my hand
You said what you have to now
Leave, leave...

Glen Hansard radio on Pandora is great, by the way. Just don't listen to it while you are trying to study for finals, though, because you will write a blog post instead of studying. Like I just did.
