and off they go

no one should see 9 am on a snowy saturday. it's just mean and not okay. 

we had a hostess meeting so off to work i went at 9 freaking AM. i was not a happy camper. i show up to the weirdest meeting ever. basically the whole hosting process is getting made 100x harder. so here goes nothing i guess. then we talked about suggestive selling. and our pie. "you can't sell a product you've never had. you guys have all had the pie, so sell the heck out of it" said the owner. then morgan was like "um. i haven't" so then Glen brought out 3 giant trays full of slices of pie. so i ate 3. 

THEN

i called britt because we planned on going up the canyon for our run. she was still in bed. it was FREAKING 11. so after prying her from her bed with the jaws of life, jadeo potato came over and up the canyon we went.  3.25 miles in, we found ourselves in ankle deep snow, wind pelting us with MORE snow, and a 3.25 mile run back. half way there, i had to stop and there went my pie. never again will i eat pie then go running. pretty sure i got my pie fix for the next few months. this thon does NOT stand a chance against us.

after thawing out in the shower for about an hour, i had to get ready for work. boo. work. but this weekend, i managed to not bus tables all nights:) i'm sure the other hosts hate me for it but my hip was killing me so..i did as little walking as i could. Roger came over and told me i was going to start training on to-go's next week!!:) holla!!:) to-go's get more hours and tips ontop of the tip outs we already get. monaaaay in the bank!! yeah right. more like monay in UVU..or cafe rio...or Moab...lesbehonest

an after work movie sounded like a good plan, so off to warm bodies tayter tot and i went. it was suuuuuper funny:)

THEN
the next morning at 9. again. we went to parker's farewell. parkie poo is going to RUSSIA!!! he is gonna be an AMAZING missionary. look out russia. buuuuut i realized last night how much i'm going to miss him..like lots. it sorta bums me out that so many of my friends are leaving. but i guess it's for a good cause.. whateerrr.

and that,my friends, brings us to today. where i'm blogging instead of writing my 4-5 page essay due tonight at midnight.. 

one of them days

you know those days when you just feel like sobbing..? for no reason. it just feels like something that needs to happen? then you listen to something so cute and you go "AH. this..this is precious. someone sing this to me. please...?" then you are trying to fight dear life to not start crying in the middle of school...because that would be weird. even in the LA building at school...

listen to that and melt. do it. 

then because i am so exciting, me and my sissy went on a date to the chocolate and shared a cazookie! so good. but then we felt sugared down..so we went and got mc chickens. because those are always amazing. then after that i went to a ward party thing with taylor mayter. where we had dinner, (which was icky...) then we baby sat chillens!!:) after that great time, we came to my abode and watched youtube videos:) 

awh man. this one is going to kill you:) 

then we started a movie. but i was exhausted. like abnormally exhausted. so i tayter gater cuddled me while i slept. and i think that was our night. not exciting at all.. but i like him:) he's really super duper:)

today, i worked ANOTHER DOUBLE:)

and i've learned that doubles are much easier when i get a break and when i'm not bussing all night long. i was on the podium all night long:)

but i did manage to piss off the same server twice. then one of the assistant managers let me have it. for the record, even if your dad owns the place, it doesn't give you the right to be a snotty brat to anyone. your dad owns it. NOT YOU. but the rest of the night went pretty smooth up until this crazy table came in at like 10:30. we closed at 10. they were pulling on the locked doors and making faces at me, so i went and opened the door to let them know that we had closed, but the guy was like "no. you close at 11. i called. let me talk to a manager." so they came in and i went and got one, and he was like seat them..whatever. so i tried. but they insisted on talking him so i went back and got him. then they were being crazy about the fish. and how it was ridiculousness that we say we close at 11 but really 10. 

but then i finished my side work, got my W2 (because i think i have to pay taxes this year???!?!) my check, and home i came:) 

luke bryan kept me company though. so no worries.

uhhm..excuse me?

welcome to the real world Ali Sanchez.

the real world requires you to work and go to school and do homework.

at the same time. 

i'm honestly so overwhelmed right now. 

it's been one day. 

i honestly don't think i'm spoiled or anything..i mean my parents never said i needed to get a job.. so i didn't.

the moment they said i needed to start paying for my books for school, i found a job the week after. 

i hate it when people assume i'm spoiled. because i'm not.

i might not know how to handle everything right now, because i've never done it.

i feel like i'm dropping the ball on everything. 

i accidentally blew off one of my best friends this weekend for work..

i feel like i went to my PES class and everything went over my head..

i walk into all of my classes and want to break down and cry because it feels like it's me against the world..or at least UVU..

i miss actually having friends..

today was one of those days when you convince yourself that you're fine until you get to campus and the knot in your throat grows a million times...you feel nervous and wanna throw up. 

sort of like the first day of kindergarten. only this time you didn't make friends by the time snack time rolled around. 

you learn to be best friends with your computer and headphones. 

and they said i'd love this...

doubles

i worked 35 hours this week. 

wanna know what that's all going to?

books. for. school.

i feel like i should be waking up tomorrow and heading over to mountain view and just praying i don't fall or get squished in that walk of death parking lot. 

but instead, i'm heading off to my SECOND semester of college. 

i am so OLD. 

i'm super stoked for school though. i picked out pretty sick classes and i think it'll be a fun semester (as long as my personal math tutor helps me out:)) 

on friday, britt and i went to target. because everyone loves target. then taylor and i went on a sorta double with ellie and jerehl. her new 24 year old beau. we went to starbucks and just talked. jerehl was one of those overly friendly "trying-to-stick-his-head-up-your-butt" sorta guy.

then we went to jerehl's apartment and it had a faint smell of weed. so we bounced as soon as the vodka was broken out. 

we are so cute

then on saturday, i was planning on working at noon, then having a girls night with britt britt. then a girl called me and was like "hey ali! can you take my shift?? my car won't start..please??" and i was like "sure.." i figured i'd get cut at 8 at the latest. but the girl i was covering for was coordinating for the night so that ended up being me. i'd done it before so i figured it'd be the same. until i found out that we had 1. a party of 100 coming in 2. the owner reserved 3 of our biggest tables 3.a party of 15 AND half the restaurant closed at 6. i sat a table at like 5:45, but they wanted a tv, so they switched tables within the section that was closed, and one of the managers flipped and came up to the podium and totally let me have it.  so here i am, at the podium, trying my very hardest not to cry while we have a whole lobby full of hungry people. eventually, the same manager who yelled at me took over so i ran into the back and bussed my little heart out. then i FINALLY went home. after almost 10 freaking hours. never has my be felt so comfy.

today we had 11 am church:) praise the lord. but it broke my heart when my sunbeams left our class and went to the big kids class. i miss my cute little sunbeams. 

but! i got 5 new ones!!:) and! two of them are super cuddly, one boy is crazy and the funniest thing alive, another little girl is super shy and adorable, and parker was sobbing the whole time. it's gonna be a fun year:) 

here's to new sunbeams, a new semester, working doubles and double dates:), and target trips:)
