Now, I must admit that I'm being a bit dramatic. What I meant by "busting my butt for four years" was I crammed a lot last minute. Pulling all-nighters and writing a paper an hour before deadline is tough work. Studying in Italy for five months, going to Celtics and Red Sox games, Red Sox and Patriot Parades, being in walking distance from the best night clubs in the city and living on the nineteenth floor of a high rise with my 5 best friends... well, that wasn't so tough. So earning the degree that is in turn earning me nothing was well worth that hard work. Of course if I could do it over I wouldn't have opened that credit card sophomore year or deferred that loan payment over and over again, but you live and you learn. I'm currently learning that my waitressing money is paying off me living the life.
I am also making it sound like I hate my job. Being a waitress can be actually really fun. I work in a restaurant in the North End where we all have fish names because the restaurant is infamous for our oysters, fresh fish dishes and lobster rolls. We have shiner (julie), smelt fish (vinny), turbot fish (dan), butterfish (tiffany), striper (Kari), Mahi (Kelli-Anne) and Tuna (Jeff-the owner). I am currently Kristin Oyster. It's actually the best restaurant I have ever worked at. We have a great time together and we all know everything about one another. They were with me through my relationship status change (I'll fill you in later) and through my day to day crazy life. It's more like a television show unfolding before my eyes and this is why I feel the need to share my stories with you. So please enjoy, comment and know that the characters and the drama are real.
