today is a good day. for one, im quiting my job. i'm just not cut out to be a barista. i don't drink coffee and i find the fact that people do with so much insistence annoying. i mean, come on, is it really that great? i know it's just a job that pays $7 an hour plus tips, but i would like to think i was doing something a little more than serving addiction out. So, therefore, i'm quiting and i dont think i'm going to get another job for the semester. with so many classes and all im trying to do with the radio station, i think its the right choice. this means going a little more into debt, but i think its worth it because if i do well now then (cross your fingers) i can get a better job down the line.
today my friend helen is visiting athens. she has been in the philippines for the last year and might be one of the coolest people i know. her positive attitude is contagious and ive never heard her speak a bad word about anyone. thats something to admire in someone because god knows im not that way. its refreshing to be around. she just got into town and im looking forward to seeing the sites in athens with her and eating at some of her favorite restaurants. oh athens... it really is a great place. i dont know why i knocked it before i came here.
so my new home is working out so well. already i have the comfortable feeling in my stomach when i walk into the house. good stuff.
So here are the classes im taking: Art and Gender Art History, Special Topics in Photography, Large Format Photography, Credibility and News Media, Spanish.
Im going to go see Helen now.
