i'm coming slow but speeding...

we'll keep it short and sweet tonight. i've procrastinated long enough.

i have a six page paper due tomorrow at 4pm. have i started it? of course not. but i had to work tonight, so i had a legit reason... until about 10:30pm, that is. we got our asses handed to us at work tonight. with the U2 concert occuring a block away from us, we were of course expecting to be busy, but DEAR LORD i have never had a busier day on the job. ever. i had a 12-top, along with 5 other tables at the same time. food wasnt coming out. drinks were taking 15 minutes to be made. things were chaotic, to say the very least. after completely forgetting to ring one of my table's food in, a near-nervous breakdown, bashing my piercing in to the point of profuse bleeding, and dropping a tray of 5 martinis, shakers and all, on account of some 20-something ramming me in the ribs with his elbow (nice bruise to go with that one), i walked with $200. not bad for a 6 hour shift on a wednesday night =D

after getting cut and quickly making my exodus from koji, i was wound up from the long shift and 3 red bulls. so, instead of coming back to uconn to write the paper on my energy high, i instead opted to go for a drive down to the waterbury bertucci's to visit chuck. chuck just became engaged.
i should be excited for him. i really should be. one of my good friends finally proposed to his girlfriend of like 7 years, but i cannot feel excited for him for some reason. i think i'm jealous that he's found someone he is so sincerely happy with, which makes me feel like a wicked person.

after leaving waterbury, i headed back towards uconn, with a 2 hour pit-stop in hartford to unwind further with ryan (the other server on the floor tonight during the hellish 4 hours... yay for poor planning with only 2 servers on what was probably the busiest night we've EVER had there). got back to uconn at about 3:30am. way to waste 5 hours of precious writing time, jules.

jules was lost in thought at 4:14 AM
