Summer Days

Well we are officially 42 days away from what promises to be that best part of my summer, possibly the best part of college. What exactly have I done to prepare since my last post? Well not much. I did however get a raincoat, a lovely black trench coat style one that I'm pretty excited about. I'm still not sure exactly what all I need for this trip, besides comfy shoes and the raincoat. I need to figure out what clothes to pack and how to possibly pack light enough for a five week trip. So far I've mostly just been enjoying my summer vacation, well and working.
My favorite thing about summer is the weather, I love nothing more than laying on the beach tanning and reading a book. Or wave jumping and attempting to swim out far enough to hit a sand bar. So far in the two-ish weeks I've been home I have managed to make 2 beach trips and about 12 pool trips, both at night and during the day. So my goal of being the tannest person in London is definitley becoming plausible; especially if we continue the weekly beach trips.
I've also been working at Studio Movie Grill again this summer, upside to that is free movies and something to do; downside is dealing with stupid people. There is a man we call the cheese guy who comes into work and orders lots of cheese. He used to walk around yelling "cheese" in the halls and asking people about cheese but one of our managers finally chewed him out for it. This guy and his friend complain every single time they come to the movies, they always yell at the servers and are totally rude all the time. They also barely tip, or only tip if they really like you (they used to never tip but a manager chewed them out about being rude all the time). I personally think they just want free stuff, I mean if you really had issues that many times at a place you just wouldn't come back. I think our managers know this too. People in general are just stupid, they don't understand why it takes time to cook their food in a sold out movie, or why there isn't someone to cater to their every whim. It's a fun job though and it gives me a lot of entertaining stories.
The other fun thing happening this summer is Howl at the Moon, a place we have discovered thanks to my friend Scott. It's a piano bar where these two guys and a girl play requests and make up stupid songs. They also have silly contests to win free drinks, and they are all really talented. It's very entertaining and fun and has become a Wednesday tradition.
