Planning / Panera / Ping Pong / Pride and Prejudice

I know this is shocking - but I'm getting a wee bit excited about school starting! I've bought a new planner and have filled in everything from the School Calendar that pertains to me for this semester. Looks like some good Jr. and Sr. recitals coming up. Perhaps, I'll get to drop in on one or two of them. I've got a whole passel of dates I have to put in the date book to request off from work. Got to makes sure I get my choir and SWSE dates - they are priority! Now if I could just start ordering my books ... oh and getting my or a car, ETC.

Work is going pretty well. I closed dining room Friday night - It was a work out! I was pretty slow and the other workers helped out, but it was my first night, and I'm sure I'll get faster with experience. I've been scheduled for three 5AM - 1PM shifts coming up. We'll see how that goes!! It's good to finally have a job and begin getting in the swing of things. Most of my coworkers are really nice and helpful - so that's good. They're trying to get the pronunciation of my name straight - its mildly humorous. :) BTW I had a Chicken Cesaer Sandwich and French Onion Soup with Whole Grain baguette today and it was all very good! I have to try everything (or just about everything) and then I think I get a raise!

So to compensate for all this extra food I'm consuming, I'm trying to move around a bit more. Tonight the fam played ping-pong doubles, and mom and dad squeaked out a 3-2 lead. Dad is looking over my shoulder, printing something from his laptop and says that he resents the squeaked out part. He said that they had it made in the shade. Anyway -- it was fun. Beautiful evening too.

I've read 12 chapters (out of 61) of Pride and Prejudice and again am enjoying my trip through the classics. Austen makes me chuckle frequently. I like to laugh.

Check out my alliterative genius of a title. :)
