"july 4th" music: parental snores
mood: tired

another week has quickly flown by. i cant even remember what i did last week, besides work, interviews, uncertain internships, and the world cup. i remember when i was younger, i used to write in my diary every day to keep track of everything that had happened to me, and to record every "significant" moment of my life. these days, time flies by so quickly that i can barely keep up.

time is always a constant theme in my entries. i guess i'm just intrigued by our perception of this arbitrary concept. i always feel that time ultimately flies by quickly. every moment is fleeting, every event quickly becomes memory. once, i told evan that for me, time did fly quickly this past year of college, but he said on the contrary, it was tormentingly slow for him. it's amazing how differently we perceive time. and i wonder what effect that has on our relationship.

anyhow, last night was fabulous with my girls and the boys. the 8 of us (wow, basic 8!) came over to my house for a night of Taboo and booze. we didnt drink much, just some bacardi, smirnoff, mimosa (yuck! korbel!), sangria, etc. after the boys left, the girls and i ended up staying up all night just talking, catching up on each other's lives. moë and i were the ultimate troopers! we held out all night without a wink of sleep. XD then around 8 in the morning, we all went to Howard's Cafe on 9th for some breakfast. whitney and i dropped by Arizmendi first, where i also ran into evan's mother on the way out. i believe she was buying scones to feed her canadian relatives before their flight. anyhow, the potatoes i ordered from Howard's was a total mistake because 1) i cant eat anything that early; 2) too much butter after a night of hard liquor (well, i stopped by 2am) is a terrible mix. thus, i slept through the germany-italy game, which made me quite sad since this is the second amazing game that i have missed in a week. :sigh:

anyhow, work tonight was not satisfactory. i'm extremely sad that i had to miss the fireworks again this summer, especially since it was a clear night out for once. i had to work the closing shift, a good 8 hours since closing requires me to do a lot more than just clear the tables and cash out. tips werent as great as i wanted them to be....in fact, this was one of my lesser nights, despite the fact this is the one time that i had more tables and sales than any other time. i forgot to force the gratuity charge on a couple of the tables, which gave me a depressing tip. i know that there will always be people who no matter what you do for them, they will never tip you well or honestly. tonight was one of those nights where a table of asian high school kids and another table of young adults had huge orders, but gave bad tips, despite the fact that i had to do a lot for them. they were a predictable bunch, but hot damn i wish i didnt have to deal with them. those people just depress the hell out of me.

this past weekend was amazing. i hope there were be more to come soon...warped tour this weekend! i'm stoked!
