uh oh

so, when I decided to do 30 days in Milan. I may have left out the fact that I was going to Winona for a week, oops. anyways we can start over tomorrow. have a great night everyone!

night on the town

So last night I got my first taste of my new life here in Milan. My boyfriend Tim is on the volunteer firefighting department and they had their annual dinner/banquet festivities! I was a little nervous at first because I didn't know what to wear or what to expect. All I heard was that it started at 7 and went until you decided to go home. You ate dinner hung out for awhile then they brought out enough booze for a small army and a huge ham and about 15 decks of cards. The idea was to just hang out, eat ham, and play cards. OK well I don't come from a  "card playing" family nor do I know any card game besides 31. So what did we play, 31. Overall it was a good time and I met some more people which is always good! In case you are wondering every other Saturday night has been spent cleaning the house, watching TV, and in bed by ten, we made it to one last night. Party animals!!

get excited everyone.

OK fellow readers...I am sorry for my month vacation, but, I assure you that it was NOT a vacation, between moving, trying to find a job,  several different Christmas's, and a 22nd birthday I have been busy busy busy. Anyways I have decided to fill you in on what I have been up to in this town called Milan. So, like my alphabet blog, I am going to do 30 days of Milan. Hopefully I can make it the whole thirty days ;) I will be starting tomorrow.

on the road again.

I'm moving. shocker. Let me explain, turns out my whole major is online therefor no reason to stay in the tundra. I will be taking all online classes next semester and moving to Tim's or should I say home. I will be moving right into our new house, which should be freshly painted along with a new fridge, kitchen floor, and some fancy furniture :) I am beyond excited! being up here without him just isn't the same. I have gone through so much work trying to get my new life all figured out that if you ever need advice on online classes let me know! Right now I get a computer through the school but turns out being an online student takes away that privilege....hmm. So if anyone would like to donate to my computer fund let me know ;) a silver mac is calling my name...

My job. Well after two months I quite tonight. My last day is the December 13th which also means I get to be home for Christmas :) I have been applying to several different jobs around Milan so, keep your fingers crossed! I am just so happy to be able to go back and be at home, I can barely wait!! Pictures of the new house coming soooon!!

Ok so I haven't been blogging lately and that could be because I am trying to figure out the next 2 years of my life in about two days. I have decided that since my new job made a rule that almost no one can go home for Christmas I have decided to make my own rule. By taking all classes online I will be free to move wherever I want, and I think we all know that "wherever" I want is Milan, with Tim. I will also be able to quite my job and go home. It will also give me a chance to work more if I take online classes in turn having more money.Overall its a pretty good deal, I also have a meeting at Morris on Tuesday. Let me bring you up to speed, I may also be transferring next year to the University of Minnesota, Morris. Yeah things are sure changing I hope you can all keep up!

So, last night was my first official night of working at my new job. Well, after a meltdown in front of my manager, and only two tables later, I was feeling pretty down. I made about $34 which for only two tables isn’t too shabby. May I also mention that none of us were really trained in on ANYTHING, and pretty much just told to go for it...anyways I couldn’t sleep last night because I was terrified of going back, I mean when you cry on the first day, it’s not like you’re going back to Disneyworld. So, after some sleep and class it was time to go back. I got all ready and left hoping for the best! I got a section in the bar with one of my now new friends Meghan, so I was feeling pretty confident. The bartenders were super cool and I had four high top tables with about 3-4 stools on each, I thought, I got this! Well I did :) I walked out tonight with about $140 in tips and worked for about six. Granted the last hour i did practically nothing except wait for my table of four, who I thought for sure was going to run the bud light keg dry! Overall it was great and I am now super excited to go back tomorrow, oh yeah, and the next day. Unlike my other job I have found people who I like and would consider being friends with. So, after work me and my new friend Alex sat and had some margaritas while these three drunk guys hit on us haha, needless to say it was a pretty good night. It is now 12:30 am and I am just getting home pretty much, and have a lab book to work on and 8 am class. Even Stella is making all sorts of noise in my room and I could really care less J
