The Past Two Weeks...

I’m very proud of myself lately because I checked out books from the library for the first time. I’ve been busy lately and I just haven’t had much leisure time, so I haven’t hit up the shelves in a while. But unfortunately it was for research for an informative speech I had to complete. My speech was about anxiety disorders, and I feel like I did a pretty good job. My delivery could have been a bit better if I would have practiced it a couple more times, but other than that I think it went well. I explained to the class what anxiety is, the symptoms of the disorder, and way to cope; so they could better understand what anxiety disorders are. A big part of the assignment was to choose a topic that everyone could relate to as well as interest them. And my topic was very effective because everyone has anxiety and I’m certain most of the class was feeling anxiety before they gave their speech that day. I know that I was!
Moving to this past weekend, I had to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as I usually do. I made a pretty good amount of money and none of my tables were too complicated. I do recall, though, Saturday one man complained that his Pepsi tasted like Diet Pepsi. It was regular Pepsi, and there wasn’t much I could do. I can’t make the Pepsi taste like Pepsi! Other than that the nights were pretty uneventful. Sunday there was a table of 20 right at 4:00, which wouldn’t have been so bad if half the table wasn’t children. Seriously, there were kids running all over in the restaurant. I felt a little sorry for the other customers, but that happens.
Not a whole lot is new in my life right now. I’m just struggling to get my homework done correctly and on time, as well as work on the weekends. The homework load has been a bit heavy lately, and it can get to be overwhelming at times. But once I put my mind to something it gets finished, that’s for sure. Now I just have to work on getting at least eight hours of sleep every night. So I can have more energy to get everything done!
