gotta make this a quick one...

i'm still alive... believe it or not. actually, i even weigh four pounds more... i'm over 140 now! (141, shuddup)

anyway, things are going awesome, still. as tom mentioned in his prior comment, this has basically been hell week for us bartenders. we had a test today that covered almost 150 pages of material and menus. we had no clue what to study; just told to know as much as possible.

i think i did rather well. the best score ever is 67 if that tells you anything. i think... and hope... mine is better.

let's see. this has been the past week. wake up at seven (imagine that) go to class at eight. get out at thre/four. work from five-fifteen until midnight and then start over.

notice there is no time for laundry, study, social time... nothing. it's been crazy.

i'm still sane, though.

and... the best of all... it seems like fate has brought me here and put me in the room with the guys i've made friends with as well as the rest of my classmates. we just learned, too, that we will be the last bartenders to go through training for a while! nick of time, huh?

i'll have to work and go to class the same through sunday. so, still not much time. however, i start safety training -- can you believe it's been almost two weeks already -- this weekend. i should have a decent amount of time in the afternoons then. maybe i can return to real life. i don't have any clue what's going out on there. is the world still turning?

it's chilly and blustery here today... not too much going on otherwise.

love all of you and miss you like crazy. i've talked with a bunch of you but haven't had a lot of time for everyone. i'm doing my best and will call as soon as i can.

gotta run eat so i can be at work on time.

later... one t
