Maybe keeping this blog is going to be harder than it sounds. It's hard to believe in 16 days I'll be flying out of Milwaukee and on my way to Santiago...I never thought these final days would come, but in reality the beginning of summer seems so far away and school starts in just about 3 weeks. Over the past few weeks nothing new has been happening I have been trying to visit and see people before I won't be able to for four months (This is turning out to be difficult b/c almost everyone has moved near there schools and there is barely anyone left in Racine)
As these final days of summer are winding down I am beginning to realize I am soooo not ready for this. I still have sooooo many things to gather, get, and buy. An electrical outlet converter thing is on that list and I have yet to find anyone at any store to actually know what I am talking about when I ask the question... Oh well I'll find one sooner or later, but hopefully it's sooner.
I've also been working a lot these past few weeks. I really didn't expect to be getting 32-34 hours a week at McDonald's, but I'm not complaining since I need all the hours I can get so I can pay for all the trips and things I plan on doing down in Chile. (I am sooo planing on going to Machu Picchu when I am down in Chile, It's already decided and I don't care how or when I go, but I am going.) This summer I am also taking a new way of thinking at work: leave work problemas at work, they don't matter outside of it. It's been working, the thing i do wonder is: Why do some people act as if it's the end of the world when someone makes a simple mistake on your order? Ok, so yeah I know its REALLY annoying when people get things wrong that you pay for and what not, and it is a waste of time, but honestly ppl it is just food. It might be Ok to get a little upset at us, but cussing and swearing won't help any at all, in fact we don't have to help you if you treat us like that (you might just get asked to leave and the police called on you((if you get violent enough)))....
Oh, my friend April is also down in Chile right now. She had some issues with the flight, but actually made it to Santiago safe and without having to make any major changes (except for the fact she had her carry-on left in Atlanta). I'm glad and can't wait to join her for some cool adventures in a few weeks. but for now: sorry for that rant it was a little longer than expected and there's only 8 shifts left at Mcdonald's, and 2 at the Rec Center separating me between here and there.
