running on empty..

so.. i'm back from a full day of learning stuff that i kindof already know about starbucks. it was called Starbucks Experience.. and boy, it definitely was an experience.

first of all.. let's start of that night.. i went to bed at about 2:00 AM. the last time i saw the alarm clock was 4:30AM. yeah. i just couldn't sleep. i was a bit stressed out because of jeff and me thinking about the workload i have for my final exams. the alarm rang at 8:10AM.. and quickly got ready so i could go to my starbucks store and get a free drink as usual. i had a triple dulce de leche latte this morning. that helped. but the caffeine is wearing off. the starbucks class lasted from 9AM to 3PM.

i was supposed to take this course during the first few days when i got hired at starbucks. which was like last October. i know, late right? lol. anyways, it wasn't offered at that time. but now that Fortuna is opening a new store on August 31st, the chance for me to take this class finally arrived. and i was in a classroom with other newly hired baristas that were going to work at the Fortuna store. it was cool to see the new people. there were other people from McKinleyville that was in the same situation as me.. they've worked a couple months already too.

i didn't expect to talk so much during the time i was there. well, i obviously knew alot of things about the company and working there from the months since i was hired.. so i gave a bunch of tips and info about what to expect about working and starbucks in general.

so blah blah blah. im at home now. just finished getting groceries. jeff's at work. and i'm stuck at home dealing with philosophy and calculus 2 hw. i'm so tired and the caffeine is wearing off. the gas light is on and i'm running near close to empty. i just dont know how im going to last for the next 8 hours until i pick up Jeff from work. ughh.....

anyways.. at least i got paid for attending that Starbucks Experience course.. and now seeing my work schedule.. i'm off for the next three days. wow. you can bet that i'll be using this time to finish up on my assignments. it's final exams the next two weeks after this week. ugh.

still can't log onto myspace. still working out the details with myspace support. but i dont really care anyways. it's probably going to distract me from work. i have so much other things to deal with than myspace..
