Just sayin'

Professor Murphy assumes that Jackie and I never do work in his class. How rude. Of course she and I have our moments where we are talking to each other and one of us tells a joke and our laughter gets the best of us, but we are girls it is what we do! We do talk a little more than we should while in class but we both end up turning in our assignments when needed to. I feel we bring excitement into the class since it is a night class. Everyone is basically yawning and falling asleep, our laughter and jokes is what keeps the class going. When Jackie is not here, like today, I feel so bored and as if I have no encouragement to get any work done and just want to go home. Students should have friends in every class for their own personal person to go to when we need some help with an assignment, or have any other questions on anything. Jackie is my backbone. Mr. Murphy has personally told another friend of mine that he believes I am a good student so I must be doing something right. Just saying Mr. Murphy! 

Customer Service

I have had my fair share of really bad and rude customers since I previously worked at Little Caesar’s and am now working at Applebee’s. At my old job, people would get crazy with me because our pizzas were not always “hot and ready” as advertised. But what people did not understand, was that if a person gives us no heads up or even a phone call that they wanted to order 20 pizzas and just walks in and takes all that we had ready, now we were left with none. We then had to hustle to get pizzas ready to sell so people could buy them immediately instead of waiting. All of them were savages. I now am a waitress so I handle customer service a bit differently now. I personally have my own tables and make my own money. Some guests do give me attitude when their food or drinks are taking too long, or if they do not like the taste of them and just want everything for free. My managers often listen to them because we have only been open for about 3 months. It does at times get on my nerves how much people take advantage of us and just get stuff for free and do not bother tipping us for all of our hard work of being on our feet all day dealing with everything. 

The Notebook

One of my favorite movies is called The Notebook. It is this sweet romantic movie that brings me to tears every time I watch it. It touches my heart because it makes me believe that true love really does exist. This elderly woman has Alzheimer’s disease and lives in an elderly home. This man visits her every day and reads her this love story from back in the day. Allie and Noah are the names of the main characters and the love story is based off of them. Allie was a rich young girl visiting only for the summer and Noah was a poor town guy who fell in the love with her the moment he saw her. After they separated and Allie went back to school, they both eventually met other people and fell in love. Meanwhile, the older woman was trying to remember what happens next. And it turns out that the older couple was actually Noah and Allie. To make a long story short, after ending their relationships with the others they fell back in love and got married and had kids. Unfortunately, once Allie remembered it was her and Noah, she freaked out and forgot all about it. They both ended up in the hospital together and died holding each other in their sleep. 

Jersey Shore

I am currently watching Jersey Shore on MTV. I remember this show was so popular my freshman year of high school. My friends and I were so into the show every week when it premiered and couldn't wait to talk about it with each other when we went back to school. I guess I just like reality tv too much and get a bit too into it as if I were them in their shoes and that is weird to me. The show was about some outgoing and crazy people who loved partying and getting drunk and just basically made a show about it. They got paid for being themselves but some episodes were too much sometimes and could obviously tell that it was kind of fixed for a crazy episode and it ended up not being that great. The women in that show would act really inappropriate most of time and always end up in arguments with one another which is sad to see how they represented women at the time. The guys were pretty gross always messing around with every girl which showed me that both genders can be pigs. Hopefully all of the stars of the show have changed and done something better with their lives.
