Bridge Day
So I woke up later than I wanted, but I still got to work at around 8:30. It's actually a good thing I went in early (besides the extra money) because we had a meeting at 10 I forgot about. What we thought was a meeting anyway...Turns out that we met our yearly goals, so we got excellence awards, thank you cards, and a hokie highlighter. PLUS! Food! When Dawn, Holly, and I walked into the meeting room there was food out on the table. And I said, "If this food isn't for us, that is just mean!" But it was for us! Donuts, fruit, some sort of pastry things, and juice. Yum! Then it was time to go back to working. I'm making folders for all the programs...it's F-U-N...I also figured out the rest of the classes I need to take for my major/minors. I'm going to have to figure out what I'm going to do to get the rest of the credits I need to graduate because after this fall, I'll be almost finished with those classes I need to take. So we'll see. Amanda and I took 45 minutes to get our classes the same. Haha. We're taking almost all the same classes this fall and so we figured we should just take them together, so all but one of my classes is with her. Including crazy Wednesdays...where we have classes (all together) from 8am to 7pm. CRAZY!!! Haha.So around 3:15 I went home to meet Kevin to walk over to the Bridge Party together. They are opening the new Tom's Creek Overpass tomorrow at 1. So today they had a ribbon cutting and party. FREE FOOD!
Important people involved with the bridge cutting the ribbon!:
Looking over the bridge at 460:
It was SUPER hot! Walking back was even worse than walking there. I was so tired and hot, I just wanted to lay down the whole walk back! And my mom kept wanting to sing "Wizard of Oz" songs. When we got back home, Kevin went home to cool off from the walk, and I passed out in my chair with the fan on. It felt sooo good. At 7 I took my brother over to meet the new band director at BHS. Darrel Pireman or something like that. He seemed nice. His son is adorable! Two years old, named Michael, and his wife was Nicole. They were very nice. Dr. Love was just raving about him, she said he was the one she picked. Dr. Love still hates me, I'm not even in her classes anymore! Haha. I stayed for a little while and then called Kevin to come over to watch Kyle XY. Turns out he had fallen asleep and I had awakened him. He let me come over anyway, and we watched Jeopardy until we decided to go to Kobe and just tivo Kyle XY. MMM, Kobe is the best food ever in the world. It's a little Japanese Express Restaurant. We ate there, then I filled up on gas before i made myself 100% broke! We got back just in time for Hell's Kitchen!!! Awesome as usual. Julia, the cook from the Waffle House, said something pretty funny. They were going to make breakfast for the Navy and the Army, and when they were all walking in they showed her crying. Later she said,"It made tears come down outta my eyes!" Well, where else would they come from? Your ears? *Here's your sign!* They split the two up between the kitchens, Army to the red team, and Navy to the blue team. Into the service the red team was getting their breakfasts out in good time, but the blue team wasn't. A navy guy said,"If I knew I was going to get my food sooner, I would have joined the army!" I thought that was pretty funny. :) Ramsey was of course yelling at the blue team quite a lot. Brad was messing up and Ramsey yells at him,"You're going to sink the Navy you BEEP BEEP!" Haha. Ramsey is just fantastic. He's *British accent* spot on! Haha. The girls won, of course and they got to go up in a helicopter and eat with Ramsey on an Air Craft Carrier. That looked awesome. The guys had to peel and chop 1,000lbs worth of onions and potatoes. What fun! Aaron ended up passing out or something, and later found out he wouldn't be in the show anymore because he has too severe of an illness. At the dinner Jen threw out some extra spaghetti then found out they actually needed it. So she went back to the garbage bin, took out the spaghetti on the top, washed it, and put it back in the pot. Luckily Julia made her throw that back out and started to make new s'ghetti. The red team lost because of a lot of different mistakes. Ramsey didn't pick a best out of them, they had to nominate two people to go on the chopping block. They decided between Julia and Joanna. When he asked who was nominated, they said Joanna and Julia, then Jen stepped up and said, and me. She was going to get away with her stupid mistake, and then she went and confessed it!!! Joanna ended up getting kicked off because she cooked with bad crab and could have killed the people who ate it, luckily none of it went out to the customers. So two people gone in just one night!
Anyway, I'm super tired, so that's all I have for now!
