Besides that, I am trying to come up with new concepts for a layout. This was one idea out of like five. It wouldn’t be just a picture though. Lots of things together, can’t really explain it. Still have assignments to hand in so my full attention isn’t going to be on this site for another week at least. Sometime in the next 2 weeks you will see the final layout concept I decide to go with.

Now toodaloo mutherf*ckers!

We will see how this rolls out… One more thing! Thank you to those people who are visiting every day. I was super nervous about converting this website to a more blog-based one and it is going pretty smooth. Thanks to everyone. =) Comments on the blogs are going to be indefinetely cut off. Email will be the best way to contact me. Debating adding a chat box. Hmm back to this work though! These designs will not draw themselves. Sigh.

Anywayssss!! I think some misunderstood my LAST post. Restaurant Week was back in March and it was way crazy-er. This time it came around again in August for the summer version of it. This time it is longer (going til the end of August) and it was busy (for the past two official weeks). Way more people coming in not only for Restaurant Week, but also some other things we were running so that made it a bit more confusing while greeting tables. Had no life this time too! It was get up, shower, work, food, bed. Oh well. Today got called out of work because it was not as busy as expected. Decided to update and let everyone know that I AM ALIVE! haha

Ugh. This Thursday is my last day of work. Last night I went to Maggiano’s for a 1-year dinner thing with my co-workers and managers. Playing telephone while waiting for entree was fun, passing around “I like titties between my toes” and turning into “Someone’s dirty”? Yeah, it happened when I had to tell the kitchen guy in English. Sorry but I couldn’t translate toes! I know dedos are fingers but TOES?? Hmm.. need to look it up. Mad I forgot my camera! It is like 20 billion megapixel and would have made a great blow-up pic! You know for memories considering that I am leaving for college.

Besides that I am waiting on my visa. Today I was having troubles. Sort of the reason I was called out of work so that I could straighten everything out because they knew it was important when I called them at noon.

This is the deal. So first I sent in a copy of my letter saying that I was accepted into the school. I sent a copy of my passport because a guy I had talked to said a copy was fine. Other random things were 2 passport photos, fingerprints, my application and a signed paper from Boston. They sent it back 2 weeks ago saying that they needed my actual passport. Then they emailed me stating I forgot to enclose a letter from the bank to prove I had enough funds to show that I can pay for tuition (if I haven’t done so, which I have not) and can live in London without a job for the school year if necessary.

Isn’t that some bullish??!! They could not tell me the FIRST time about this bank letter when they sent back an envelope with everything in it and only checked off that I did not enclose my actual passport?? This UK consulate is on some bull. So then they emailed me about that letter and stated they need to recieve that letter within four days of the email. The bank letter took 3 days to come from Bank of America and this dingy letter ONLY stated when I opened the account, how much was in it and how much is there on average. GRR! I could have grabbed a bank statement or told you myself! Want me to take you with me to the ATM? haha

So today I went to the bank at 9am when it opened. The lady I spoke to on Friday said “It will definetely be here Monday!” I asked if she was sure and she said “Yeah, by the time we open on Tuesday it will be here. I promise.” Yes that is EXACTLY what she said. So after 30 minutes, one of the associates on the bottom of the totem pole of seniority there stated that it was not there. She said I would have to pay $10 AGAIN to get another letter right then. I made a scene (which is unlike me) because I had alreadyyy payed on Friday for this damn letter. I NEEDED this letter to stay in the UK for school. It determined my future here! So she gave me her card and number and said it will be there later, by the end of close. I called.. and called.. and called. First time someone said she was busy and she would call me back. Bish even WROTE DOWN my number (at least I thought so). Second time no answer, same for the other attempts. Finally, my Dad came home from jury duty and came with me since he is more intimidating and his name is also on the account I was recieving the letter for. 15 minutes before they closed, I finally got the letter! Then I had to run to the post office because THAT closed in 15 minutes as well.  The letter was sent next day to the consulate. Should be there by noon and hopefully my visa is approved and my passport is sent back ASAP. I am leaving for England SEPTEMBER 5TH!!
