Success
Just a quick update to say that my dinner party was a success. Well I think it was at least, maybe everyone is talking about how terrible it was right now but I don't think. I think it definetely went really well and the food came out good and people seemed to have a good time. While I didn't get everything I wanted to ready in time, I think there was still more than enough food and good decorations. Today was pretty good too but then it started to go bad because I do stupid things sometimes. Ok, i'll talk more about the party and today later when I have more time.

Dinner Pary Countdown
So the guests should be arriving for my first ever solo planned dinner party and my first christmas party ever in about 5 hours. We'll see how it goes. So far everything is going extremely well which makes me really nervous that something is going to go terribly wrong any minute. I am well on my way to finishing cooking the mian courses and some of the desserts and everything is going smooth as silk. My guest list has just been reduced to 10 due to a cancellation so now I'm not sure how I want to set up the tables. We'll see. I'm nervous that I don't have enough side dishes and/or appetizers but everyone has said they think it's enough but I just am not sure. Tomorrow I'll have either a glowing report of how well tonight went or a rant about what a disaster it was. Wish me luck. Stay tuned...

I Love the Old Ladies
I love the old ladies that come into Eckerd, not all of them, but a lot of them. Yesterday after not working for a like a week and a half and only having a few hours the week before, I started working again. All the old ladies, told me how much they missed me while I was gone and were wondering where I was. One asked the other workers if I had quit. It's so nice to know they care. They really make my job fun and enjoyable. It's good to feel they depend on me and trust me. I also had a friend's mom come to our pharmacy for the first time cuz of me and I think I got another expatient who once said we were snotty to come back. What would that store do without me?

It's Finally Over
Well this was my exam week and it was pure craziness. I had like an exam and a final paper due everyday. It's not that I didn't find time to go out for coffee though because, the king of procrastination can always find time for that but I am seriously worn out from doing all this work. Like mentally worn out. But I finished my last paper and I just have to hand it in tomorrow and I AM DONE!!!
Sidenote, it's aggravating that they won't take back my stupid public speaking book. I seriously barely used it all year and had to buy a new copy because there was a new edition and now they aren't buying it back! AGGRAVATING!

So I'm getting exctied about my christmas party next saturday although I don't know what I am going to make for dinner for everyone. I really wanted everyone to bring a guest so that there would be some people I don't really know, and like everyone could meet new people, but most of my friends are not but I am still holding out hope that they all will. I wanted to invite some people I don't really know also in order to liek just mix it up a little, like people i know only a little, but I didn't cuz I wasn't srue if that would be wierd. Ok that's all for now.
