I just got done editing the first day of September post. My website still says that it was posted on the first of September, but it was posted the same day as this is about to be posted. I’m gonna try and keep this post short because I want to edit it and post it before I have to do anything in class. I have class in about 10 minutes online. I can scoot and do things for at least the first 10 minutes before we have to do stuff, but the other 40 minutes of the class will be full so I won’t have too much time.
And so I’m going to keep this short so that it’s possible for me to post. Everything ended up being alright with the financial aid office. It’s just that I didn’t turn into FASFA and they’re holding my grants hostage until they can get that, which will be in three to five business days. Around the time, I move out of this house actually, but that’s not too important.
Me, dad, and my sister went food shopping yesterday. I only got about a week’s worth of food anyway because I won’t be here. I’m starting to reconsider putting all the weight on Dad for college payment this year and starting to think about taking on student loans when FAFSA does come back with me about the loans and stuff.
Solely because it’s starting to become more evident that he doesn’t have as much money as I would have pegged him to have. And I feel a little guilty. It’s still his fault for being put in this position, getting an entire fucking house, but it still is wrong.
In other news a lot of the homework that I should be doing hasn’t been done. I just can’t focus. I don’t know why, maybe because I’m still eating garbage food, and that’s the big reason, but I should be doing better. And it’s kind of disappointing to see how this semester started out. I mean luckily at the very least my attendance is there so they can’t blame me and say that I’m not trying.
I know another big reason is because I do not have money for books. All of my money is going to a car first and foremost so that I can learn how to drive, have a job outside of a mile within where I live. It’s getting too stressful to walk everywhere and Honestly, I’m very sick. But that brings me to my next thing that I really wanted to mention.
I’m definitely going to be looking for work soon. I’ve narrowed down a target and I’m thinking of Red Robin’s . It’s in the mall I mentioned a few posts ago. I think I mentioned it in my birthday post, that same mall has a Red Robin’s and I’m going to try and be a server there. Big reason being I was planning on leaving my ice cream shop at some point anyway, they probably won’t be by the time I leave school for break in November. They probably would have already closed down and planned on reopening in late January and that would be like three months of pay gone like that.
I would have left anyway just from that. Even if they were open during the winter, I would not want to wall all the way there during the winter time just for the minimum amount of tips.
The new reason, however, is because we had just gotten new owners. I didn’t think it was important to mention to you guys at the time because I had doubted anything would be different. Our old owner is really old and I think he’s just retiring. Because our store is franchised, another store owner from another area in the city that is owned by a gay couple own this one now as well. And they were really nice,I met them but the big problem is that they’re implementing they’re tipping system from their location on to ours.
I never told you guys this but I am the person that gets the most tips in the damn store. So them into implementing more of a communist… I cackle even saying it… A more of a COMMUNIST tipping pool sort of system doesn’t bode well for me. And not only that, but it includes the managers now and as well splits my tip even more and gives me as much as the rest when I deserve more.
And honestly my goal to get a car will be slowed down immensely by that quite literally as soon as it’s implemented. This hurts a lot because the minimum wage I get from working it isn’t enough. And the immense amount of tips that I manage to pull, and work hard to get I’d like to add, helps to double that income and helps me get to my goal quicker.
It’s kind of all their faults because even as I have said that I would’ve left anyway, I would have possibly reconsidered. Would have definitely considered working with them longer if the tipping system wasn’t changed. But other than that there isn’t much going on. I got to get to class in a few minutes though. So I’ll see you.
Thanks for listening.
