Last weekend and some great news!

It's officially the last Friday before my last weekend. It is also the first Friday before my new job! I start after school tomorrow, and I'll be working at a chocolate shop as a barista, and then working up to making the chocolate. I'll be part-time on Fridays and Saturdays until it starts getting busy, then I'll be full-time! I'm glad I went straight into a job even before my last day. XD The person who hired me said that she loved me, so that sounds positive, yes?

My buffet project is going alright, although I am slightly worried about not having enough time, even though I had some extra time last Sunday (I planned it out, and I accomplished everything I expected to that day, so since I had a lot of extra time, I did some more long prep). I'm hoping that none of it dried out or rotted over the week, and I'm crossing my fingers that my sugar sculpture is in one piece. I have backups of everything on my list, but I fear that I may be driven to tears if nothing goes to plan. Oh well. If I need a good cry, then I'll go and do it (away from my classmates), and then come back and get stuff done. Nothing new. I did that once in Alaska, when one of the chefs ran off without telling anyone, and I had to cover his shift, which included making lunch and dinner for the employees. It was very stressful, but I managed. Everyone was happy (they got pizza), and I got more respect from the head chefs. I never quit. I've got a stubborn streak a mile wide when it comes to food. I guess I'm odd that way.

I'm still planning on going to the 2010 Kumoricon, and a costume party on the 31st. I might just buy a seifuku and go as Osaka from Azumanga Daioh. I'm also going to do an Ivysaur Gijinka, and Enma Ai from Hell Girl for Kcon '10.

In other news, my MP3 player has gotten worse. It freezes, randomly adjusts the volume levels, and gets the names of songs messed up. Also, my earbuds have started to break, too. There is some exposed wire that I'm kind of leery about, so I don't think I'll be using my MP3 player for a bit. I'm thinking of getting a nice pair of folding headphones, but I put them on my wish list, so I might have to wait until after Christmas. It'll be hard going without music, or I'll just have to risk electrocution. Or I could just take my ds and buy a game that isn't on my list and be entertained until I save up enough money for a Zune hd. It is on my list, but unless my family reeeealy saved up this year, I don't think I'm going to get it. Oh well.
