.258 x just stuff
Okay so. As far as school goes... I finished my French homework today and looked into the questions for the final a bit. I know I should prepare at least a bit. My French isn't too bad for my level, but it still takes some thought to put it into words when speaking aloud.
I've been working on my HONR239F final. There are three parts; I just completed the first part. I'll probably at least start on one of the other two tonight, but I also have tomorrow.
In Comm, I figured out that because of my low midterm, I'd have to get pretty much 100s on the three remaining grades (including the final) to get an A. But I will make a B easily assuming I don't fuck up on the final, and I assure you, I will be studying hardcore.
I'm expecting an A in my honors seminar. This will be my last honors seminar, I already applied for my Honors citation, and assuming I'm right about the A, I'll have gotten an A in all my Honors classes. The only thing I'm a little worried about is the participation grade, which is 200 points. I missed a number of classes when other kids were doing their presentations because he doesn't seem like the sort of teacher who takes attendance, so I don't know. But the days I was there should make up for something, I did participate.
I'm also expecting an A in French, probably in Writers' House, and even probably in Theater despite my poor quiz scores. At least, from what grades I can calculate currently, I've got an A in that class. Have to worry about participation in that one, too, though.
In Statistics I'm hoping for a B. I got As on the first two exams and a high B on the third, so if I do well on the final I should make a B, I think. Even accounting for the one homework assignment and one group thingy I missed.
So maintaining a 3.2 or better shouldn't be a problem. If my guesses are accurate and I only make the two Bs, I should make a 3.647. Dean's list! I think.
So work is just getting ridiculous. I had a shitty night Thursday night. I ended up making $130, which is good, but two girls called out sick, one girl was allowed to go home because the bartender agreed to work a floor double. That made five girls, two of them doubles. We always have to have at least 3 girls to close, which means: yes. I knew I was going to be there all night. Which is funny because at least one of the other two girls didn't realize it for a couple hours. Now, this wouldn't have been quite as bad except it was super slow to begin with, I had homework I really should have and would rather have been doing, and especially because we were closing with Jordan.
We didn't get out until after 1. But okay. I still made it to class the next morning and got up early enough to start on my homework that I hadn't done yet for said class. I finished most of the homework in class. Wasn't much help on the group assignment, but none of us knew what we were doing anyway so it made little difference. Went to work Friday night.
Closed with Juraj: yay. But I got shitty tips all night. The bartender was Foon; she's always very, very slow on busy nights because she can't handle doing To-Go plus her own bar guests plus our drinks. I know it's a hard job, but the other bartenders handle it better than she does, yet she's bartender all the time. She always gets bar shifts when she wants them, where better bartenders can't convince the managers to let them work bar. It's because she sells merchandise like crazy. But she could do that on the floor, too, and it'd be better for the restaurant as a whole.
Anyway, I had a table of seven guests. Started off well with them, I was really good to them, but then the bar drinks came far too slow and I had to cancel a couple of their orders because they took too long. I got Juraj for them when they were getting ready to leave because I didn't want them to leave upset, I wanted a tip, and he took a lot of stuff off their bills (of course all of them had separate bills except two who paid together). Their total originally was somewhere between $150 and $200, but despite how I went out of my way to make them happy, they only ended up leaving me a grand total of $6.75 in tip.
Bastards.
So that was just the customers. Then there was Jordan. Before he left, he rang the bell and did a surprise search of our pouches for cell phones. He just made us empty them on the counter. Juraj was there with him; when I started emptying my pouch Juraj waved me off like "It's okay, you can stop," because two girls had already volunteered up their cell phones. So I didn't have to give up my cell, but I was still annoyed as hell.
Then Jordan called during the evening and told Juraj that the two girls whose cells they'd taken had a write a one-page letter of apology. Like a whole page. Now, like I said, I wasn't caught, so I didn't have to write one. But I was annoyed out of my mind for the two girls who did have to. Because it's a stupid rule, Jordan's an asshole, and he's blowing shit way out of proportion. If I got caught and had to write that letter, it'd be the end of my job there, because I'd say something stupid.
I won't go into it further. I've ranted and raved on it enough, I think.
But I did manage to make $87 last night so whatever.
