Dude!  Working 2 jobs in high school is so not fun!  Pardon my absence, it is something which i am going to try to rectify in the future!  Bla bla bla, i was going to write something long and boring and pointless, but i shall refrain!

Hello hello hello! It’s been a while, so much has happened, but yet I’ve done very little - pretty much nothing, actually - over the last week.  Oh but it has been just delightful!  For the most part I spent my time in a vegetative state, watching the Olympics and all sorts of random shows, occasionally getting up to eat or go for a walk, but I haven’t really done anything productive in a while!  Since jam-making actually.  I had all these wonderful plans to craft massive amounts of some random little things every day, and many far more strange plans... but I think, if by the end of this summer I’ve accomplished nothing accept becoming a truly proficient couch potato, that would be enough in my mind :).

One thing I actually did accomplish last week, was getting hired at Starbucks!  I am sooo excited, you have no idea!  If you didn’t know this about me, I am a coffee fiend, actually I need a more accurate word... no, can’t think of one.  But I drink A LOT of coffee.  I had my first shift today and I drank more coffee than I thought was possible for one person, and that’s saying a lot for me to say that!  Free coffee at the start of my shift, during my shift, at my break, after my shift ended, coffees we otherwise would have thrown out... oh it was marvelous!  I got to try all these different blends, did you know that espresso shots have a life of 15 seconds so we have to make drinks super fast?  It was truly fascinating.  I’m not sure how many cups of coffee I actually had, but it was amazing!  It was really fun too because I’m constantly experimenting at home with our little old fashioned ancient boil-over-the-stove espresso machine, ha ha!  Oh and trying to call them out was fun too.  I had to try and read what kinds they were on the sides of the coffees and I kept saying them completely wrong and the customers would just shake their heads and walk away laughing at me.  My manager is really nice too.  Unfortunately most of this shift (and the next few too probably) was (and will be) a lot of paperwork, but I’m really excited for this job, and I haven’t been actually excited to have a job in a while!

That was a fun little spiel!  I suppose I should explain myself now, for my lack of a decent post...  I’ll try this week to complete some of the things I’ve been planning on making, but knowing me, that ‘week’ may turn out to be much longer.  I hope you are having a marvelous summer!
