Tornado watch today. Until 8pm. It's awesome that I'm stuck at school while this is going on and not at home with the pup. I know a watch is just to be cautious because weather conditions are favorable for a tornado to happen, but really...if one did happen, I'd probably go into a full on panic because I'd be afraid my dog would be gone....followed by very dear pictures of all the times with my grandmother, cards from her, notes from her, and some of her jewelry that went to me after she passed....maybe I should get a safety deposit box for these things...but then again I wouldn't have them to look at every day...I'd have to go to the bank to look at 'em. Maybe I'll start scanning everything onto my computer later.

In other news. Worked my first shift yesterday at the new job. It was alright...not the place, the shift, I was bored out of my mind. I hate training and shadowing, especially when business isn't really busy and well the guy never really made it easy for me to shadow him. He'd disappear and then suddenly he was out on the patio talking to a table. I have a menu test like Friday night. Meh. I should be studying...but that's what my shifts are for. I have a blog to write, and then a film screening and paper to prepare for.

What else.
I can't seem to lose weight no matter what I try to do. I'm supposed to shoot next Tuesday and I really am not where I wanted to be weight wise for this shoot. I'm still 5lbs off from that goal. Working so much and balancing school work and the dog and then just daily responsibilities is really cutting into my time available for the gym. Hopefully next week things will level out a bit. And I'll just have to suck it up for the shoot. I still haven't gotten my extensions. I really was hoping to get them done before the shoot, but oh well.

My school food options blow. I just had a salad and rather than feeling satisfied, I'm still hungry and now want to vomit. Not literally vomit, but there's like half the salad left because I couldn't force down another bite. Wanna know my bullshit options now......another salad, pizza, burgers, hot dogs...and that's it. No wonder kids gain so much weight in college. They definitely need better options. In the cafe I used to be able to eat at (they force commuters now to have a 15 meal plan which limits you to $100 to spend in the cafe instead of $200) they at least had filling wraps and sandwiches that were good for you. It's like in the dining hall, they stop making the things that are actually healthy for students around 1 or 2...my break isn't until 3. If I wasn't constantly in a full on war with my weight I wouldn't feel so bad once a week eating something shitty like pizza or a burger...but at the same time, I'd rather be able to go somewhere that doesn't use frozen meat, and actually uses fresh ingredients. Not all the imitation bullshit and animal bi-product.

Halloween is Sunday...I have ZERO plans. Saturday I work a double until midnight or later. So can't really dress up unless I like zombie myself and even then I can only do my face...working in a restaurant and all. There's a block party my job and the club behind us teamed up and are putting on. It'll be interesting to say the least. Then Sunday I work from 10-5. Looks like I won't be celebrating Halloween. Maybe I'll get dinner with my mom or something somewhere. At this point I really don't care about Halloween and dressing up. I can't really afford to go out on a bender either nights, and I'm one of those people that hate spending money on Halloween costumes because you only use 'em once. I'd rather apply $40 to a tattoo or some shit.

I'm planning on getting the sides of my finger tattooed soon. When I have time off from work. It's going to say "to love" in Italian: Per amore and in Polish: Do mioci. It's going to go on my middle finger

I forgot my charger at home today so I guess I should wrap up until I get home since I'm down to 36 minutes of battery left.
