A Bottle of White

An experience I had at Atria's on route 8 was not a very good one. This was a very recent experience, we had reservations for 7:30 on Saturday night. When we got there we realized they were having their Oktoberfest specials. I was especially excited because I love German food. Well we waited about 15 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge that we were even there for us to order drinks. After we got our drinks and had decided on our meals, everything that all three of us had wanted to eat were no longer available. So why didn't they tell us that before we were even seated or as we ordered our drinks? Well our waiter was also especially obnoxious by trying to be funny but just came across the wrong way. We were there for an hour before our food even got to us and when it had the whole place had basically cleared out. We are starving so I'm sure anything at that point would have tasted pretty good. In reality, my Sauerbraten was mostly flavorless, not sweet or sour as it should taste, my mashed potatoes were completely overcooked and stuck to the roof of my mouth, the only decent thing was my red cabbage which was exactly how I had known it to taste. Vinegary with some sweetness with super soft cabbage. When it was time for us to get our check, the waiter came over and said "how much do you pay for your phone?' I just stared at him. He said "you probably save enough by not paying that bill in order to pay for this one" and I said "I can absolutely pay for this check, I have no problem at all doing that. I have more than enough money to pay for this." So he handed me the bill. At this point we hope that we will have exact change so that we don't have to stay here any longer. Of course we don't, so we are there even longer as our water takes another smoke break and finally comes back just to get a 9% tip due to how ignorant and absent he was. I highly suggest NOT going to Atria's on route 8.

Look Back in Satisfaction

When I look back at how my first semester went, I feel very proud. Even though I only had school two nights a week, I feel as though I've accomplished a lot. If I look at the big picture, I realize that if I go to school at this pace I will probably get my degree in 5 years but honestly I don't care because I'm at least continuing to work towards something that has to be done but also not drowning in it. I would not be happy if I went away to school and I also wouldn't be happy if I went to school full time because I wouldn't be able to afford the things that I love which are my cars and my horse.I am really glad that BC3 offers night classes and I hope that I can continue to take night classes as long as they offer them. I had a math class that I met a nice new friend in that I hope I can keep as a long term friend, and I learned what college was really like from my English class. It challenged me in many different ways, but over all even though I thought I would h...

Crap I learned in Highschool

A compelling moment from my education I would say would have been anytime during Marching Band Season. I learned a lot about how much effort it takes to juggle all of your regular classes as well as an extracurricular activity. I did have band class during the day as well so I would also consider it a normal class. I made many friends and also made enemies. The part that compelled me would be the fact of being able to make beautiful music and make it sound amazing with a group of people.  There were moments on the field where we were competing and there was a moment in the song "Dust in the Wind"  where there was a climactic part of the song that gave everyone chills that you were hard to recreate. That moment I realized how lucky I was to be a part of a team that worked together so well. Marching band was never the same after that year, being it was my first. I was with my brother and all of his friends and of course a crush that I had for many years that never saw me as a ...

Strap them kids in; give 'em a little vodka

This summer, I had a very exciting time with my family. That exciting time being when my boyfriend and brother almost drowned in the ocean. My vacation began after I was done with work on Saturday. I went to get all of the necessities for the beach. Board games, snacks, that sort of important thing. We left on Sunday around 10:00 in the morning. We went to my brother Marine family day at his base, then went on our way to the Outer Banks. It was about a 10 hour drive there with few stops. When we got there it was about 3 am and I just wanted to go for a walk on the beach but everyone else is lame and didn't want to go. That week was awesome, lots adult beverages and peel and eat shrimp that makes your mouth water. It was a normal relaxing vacation until one of those days we went into the water like normal but came out different than before. My boyfriend was a bit leery of the ocean since he had never been in it much. I didn't want to pressure him but when my brother came out wi...
