The Home Stretch

Things are going well.  I am ahead on the rest of my schoolwork that is due this semester.  All I have to worry about is one exam in each class.  I became aware of my purpose in life last week.  I am also starting a new job this week.

I will be serving at Olive Garden.  I think this will actually turn out to be a better place than Ground Round.  They've got medical, dental, and vision insurance.  They will match me up to 6% on a 401K.  I get 25% off at any Olive Garden, Lonestar, Red Lobster, Bahama Mama (they have one in Cincy - I've eaten there a couple of times) in the US for groups up to 8 people.  There are hundreds of other little perks too.  They also have a discrimination policy that covers sexual orientation. 

So, once I get settled, everyone come to Olive Garden and give me all your money :)

The new SGA officers will be announced tomorrow.  I'm a little nervous, but it's all good.  There were some great people running this year.  The SGA Inaugural Ball is this Friday.

The Day of Silence activities also kick off this week.  I've got to head over to Tim's to help him put these pictures together. 

I have to go to the Student and Alumni Connection meeting on May 1st.  I guess someone nominated me for Alumni of the Year.  Yes, technically, I'm an alumna, but I don't really consider myself one.

Then I have the Sigma Alpha Pi Induction Ceremony on May 12th.  On May 14th is the Annual Awards Ceremony - I guess I'm nominated for something there too.  Then, the 17th is Commencement.  Oh yeah - the SGA and Prism meetings are in there too.  Almost forgot that I also have classes as well.....

Wow.

Is it bad that I'm more worried about how to make it to all of these events than concentrating on my finals?

Hi Sheena,

Which Olive Garden are you working at? It's one of my favorite places and there was a coupon in Sunday's Blade for $4 off two meals.

Plus - Olive Garden is a much cooler place to work at.

The one on Reynolds and Glendale.

It's not as laid back as my last job, but I'm sure that I will enjoy it :)

Congrats on the new job at Olive Garden. I agree with Helene, much better place to work, seems like great benefits/perks and maybe better tips too!!!

Congrats on the new job. How do you get them to work around your school schedules?

Most resturaunts want employees with varying schedules - I try to schedule all my classes on two or three days, and just say that I can't work those days. Most places are pretty flexible with it.

Hi Sheena,
We go to that Olive Garden often.....we'll be happy to have you for our waitress, again. Dale and I almost stopped Friday night, but went to Red Lobster instead...sorry! Keep me updated on your schedule.[You can just blog it, I enjoy them.]
Congrats on graduation!!

Red Lobster is actually owned by the same company that owns Olive Garden Lee. I am not actually graduating this year - I'm volunteering as an usher for the commencement exercises. I graduate in the Spring of 2009.
