I'm sorry that I've been so terribly terrible on the blogging front lately. Our furniture arrived today from Dallas, I'm writing papers and studying for an exam. I promise I'll update you on my life as soon as it slows down a little!
Right now at school I am in a class about the front of the house (the service aspect of a restaurant). We are learning practical and theoretical information about restaurant service management. I've never waited tables before and each day in class we serve an entire meal. I carry a big heavy tray every day!
