Tomorrow is the big day....

I'm a little worried about tomorrow, it's the day of my big test at Cold Stone. I have to take a written test on Cold Stone policy and regulations, and if i don't get and 85% or higher then I'm pretty sure they won't keep me. It's kind of funny because its the most high pressure test I've ever had and it's not in school.. go figure. The only other trainee besides me quit the other day, so I'm on my own on this one... I feel really accomplished because of that, actually... you see there were 40 people at my audition, more or less. 14 of them got called back for an interview. Out of those 14, only 2 got hired, and 1 quit, leaving only yours truly standing alone... I feel like I won some sort of reality show, but i still need to pass this test to be officially sworn in to the Cold Stone family. I think I'll pass, but I'm gonna study my balls off tomorrow just to be sure. And freakin' my guitar practice just happens to be around the same time as the test, so that's gonna be alot of fun, trying to make sure that I don't miss either. I'm gonna have to call Cold Stone tomorrow and see if i could take my test either after 7 or at a time that i would finish before, say, 5:45. I'm getting a little nervous thinking about it.... hell, I need to take a heavy duty chill pill. Like one with side effects and that you can't mix with alcohol. Imagine they had actual pills called "Chill Pills," heh.. they would probably be on sale at Rite Aid between Tylenol and Aleve. But I'll be fine, just gotta do my homework tomorrow. I'm waking up early, going over all my notes at least twice, and looking at all the training vids again.

Let's talk about something else, to get the nerves away. I got my roommate info the other day, and found most of the kids I'll be rooming with on facebook. They seem alright, hopefully no douchebags. I swear if i see one of my roommates come in with his collar popped or with a cheesy tattoo, I'll be an unhappy camper, well an unhappy roommate, for that matter. Actually, fuck that. I'm not gonna judge anyone based on appearance, cuz personality really transcends everything else about a person.... including a bad sense of fashion or overall shitty taste. My best friend from college is in my suite, which would be freakin' awesome, but he's getting an apartment off campus. I mean hey, the way I see it is I have another place to hang out off campus besides my brand spanking new, off campus dorm! Woo! Move in day is a month away, give or take a few days... I'm super psyched now that my roommate info finally came in. I just hope that my new job doesn't conflict with school. I mean if i have to close during Monday - Friday, I'm going to have to quit, or ask to be transferred to the Cold Stone near St. John's, which is a good idea regardless of what my schedule might turn out to be like during the school year. Wait... shit! i somehow segued back to Cold Stone.... now I'm thinking about the test again! Arghh! Okay, desperate times call for desperate measures. Time for some random words to get my mind off things.... pineapples, toast, engineer, potato, Kanye, llama. Okay, that's better.

Me and my sister had a jam session today... I came up with my first original chord sequence on my guitar, and she sang improvised lyrics as I played it. It sounded really cool. The past day or so I've gained a lot of confidence in my guitar playing skills... I probably haven't changed much skill wise in the past day or so, but i realized but i realized how far I've come since December of last year.

I should get to sleep soon... i gotta wake up early to do all my studying. Sometimes, like now, I hate sleeping, because I'm not tired, and i feel like its waste of time. Other times, like this past weekend, I would jump into my bed, hugging it with love and adoration, saying "My preciousss..." like Golem from Lord of the Rings. I know what you're thinking, "Woah, Rubes..TMI, dude!", but hey man, I was working the night shift for three nights straight. One of those days i came home to the sun rising. About 5 AM actually. So let me post this real quickington, so I can prepare for the big day tomorrow. Catch you guys another time. You stay classy, San Diego.
