Being a baker at Timmy's sucks

Well, yesterday I did get trained for baking. Making the donuts and stuff is good and everything but half the job is cleaning. But that's not even the worse part. The worse part is filling all the dips. That stuff is friggin' hard! I felt like I was getting a workout doing just that. I asked Laura, "Is there an easier way to transfer these???" She gave me this "You-should-know" look and said "Your hands!!!" Like WTF? Talk about messy and a waste of good dip! But I ended up doing just that since it was less painful. Looks like I'm gonna be baking for both my 2 shifts this coming week. Ughh!!

Today, I had a piano recital and honestly, me and my sister must both be cursed cause we BOTH stopped at one point of our performances and had to give 3 to 4 tries before being able to continue. *Sigh*..at least I got my piece memorized. I'm just jealous of all those other people who seem to have performed all their lives. Some of them did not look stressed at all! There was this one girl who kept moving around during her performance...I joked later that she must have been high. Haha..

Heading to the university early tomorrow to try and sell my Math and Chem books back with Annie (she BETTER remember!) since I'm never taking those courses ever again. I will look back and think of Math and Chem as a complete waste of time that I was VERY lucky to have passed.

Coming back from a long break...

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I posted a blog. Interesting things have happened in my life, I swear..haha.

I love Bach. I never thought I'd say that in a million years. My music history exam was waaay easier than I thought it would be! I just finished studying Bach and the Prelude & Fugue (that I'm working on right now) an hour before the exam and guess what the topics were? Exactly what I studied! Plus the last question asked to talk about Symphonie Fantastique in detail and I also read that literally an hour and a half before! How lucky did I get??? The only thing I really messed up on, though was the "Name 2 specific styles for 5 composers" part. I think I was half-right for Bizet and Debussy but Vivaldi, Haydn, and some other dude...I just started making stuff up. LOL. Or I was recalling the wrong information from my head. Anyway..it only took me 2 out of 3 hours to finish that test. I'm just glad I'm done.

Today I realized how boring Fridays can be when you don't have school or work. As much as I loathe work sometimes, I'd rather be working than doing absolutely nothing. So woohoo for work tomorrow. Mike called me a week ago to ask if I'd be okay with getting trained in baking and I said, "Sure". Mind you it's not really baking...you just pop in premade donuts and muffins in the oven and pull them out when they're done. LOL. So yay..I'll probably be learning how to "bake" tomorrow.

The Rolling Stones are coming to Alberta! But why Calgary? WHY??? Arghh...it's likely they'll be coming over after the summer so there goes my chances of seeing them.
