Go Time.

In an attempt to increase the cohesion and frequency of my blog postings, I decided I had better first spend some time reading other blogs. I have found SO many types of blogs I love…travel blogs, 20-something blogs, diet blogs, finance blogs, enough blogs to occupy the majority of my work day if I let them!

As a major motivator, I will be starting law school in the evenings, beginning in July. This means homegirl has REALLY got to crack down on the writing skills. I think reading and writing in the blog world should help me to get back in the habit of writing, spur (hopefully) a little creativity, and also help me to vent some daily frustrations. I look forward to the possibility of using my blog as a tracking device for happenings in my life as well.

A full-time work day at the law office and evening classes 5 days a week also means that Really-Not-A-Waitress really WON’T be a waitress anymore, which is perhaps the biggest motivator of all. As much as I tell myself I despise waitressing, I still have mixed emotions about losing my source of instant cash flow. It’s nice to have the reassurance of being able to go in anytime and pick up a shift if I need extra money, or a pair of new shoes. Obviously getting a JD is a much better way to spend my spare time. Lest I forget, here are some other reasons I won’t miss the service industry:

-The b*tch who had the audacity to tip me $5 on $78 and write “very nice” on the receipt after she watched me bust my ass with 9 (literally, 9) other tables and make her 22-yr-old son a freaking peanut butter milkshake TO GO.

-Working 8-6 at the firm, then 7-2am at the bar…long day doesn’t quite cover it.

-not having a spare hour to work out or grab a beer w/ friends

-getting snapped or whistled at

-never knowing if my manager is going to ignore my requests and schedule me w/ conflicts

-being treated like a waitress, period.
