June22,2006"summer solstice"
passed beautifully. yesterday was a lovely day, filled with gorgeous sunshine and the most amazing summer weather imaginable. had lunch with christopher (yes, i prefer to just call you that instead of just "chris" because "christopher" has more umph, or maybe i should just call you "topher" to be different) at tofu house, dining on delicious kimchi and ribeye. after grabbing some tapioca and sago, we took a nice walk through the botanical gardens to the deYoung where we checked out the view from the tower. went to work, and was the only server for a few hours, but at least i had good tips. i love it when there are big parties that arent too hard to deal with, because the tips are fabulous. i feel like i should've split that one with the other server since i had to leave before i could bus the table, but then again, i did transfer another fairly expensive table to him before i left. i hope that balanced out. tips rock, but i still feel dissatisfied with this summer. i guess ultimately, i wanted to do something different this summer. i didnt expect to come back home, but i did it because i missed my city so much. jobhunting, or rather jobhopping, wasn't so great because i'm just not cut out for canvassing. i guess i'm more of the behind-the-scenes type of gal, laying the foundation, putting things into production, but never in the spotlight. i keep telling myself that i want to be a leader, fight the good fights in the world, but in actuality, i think i'm more of a karl rove type, planning and setting my visions into work. okey, that was a TERRIBLE analogy because i fucking hate that man, but you get my point. ;P anyhow, i hope i'll do more with my next summer. i guess i really should concentrate more on my chinese and greek stuff this summer too, seeing as how i made sure i had extra time for that, and because i really havent gotten that far in chinese and i havent started in greek. O_O and i suppose i'm not being completely useless this summer since i am working a paid job. and okey, fine, i'm lucky that my cousin's business partners liked my work so now i'm basically hired to do something i like, graphic design and art, but i dont know. i have an interview for another internship next tuesday, but i dont know if i want to do it anymore, seeing as how i'm so busy already. but that internship would be a nice addition to this flavorless summer.
i should be more grateful. after all, evan takes good care of me, and i love hanging out with my friends. i can't wait for this weekend because whitney is back! stuart is already back, which made me very happy. and dinner with herman was fab. i just need to shut up now and get my ass ready for work. i still have my coffeedate with pooja in the afternoon before she flies off to england.
