Immunity

          So basically it goes like this, I stay up late. I don’t always do it because I like to or want to, if you are a regular reader of my blogs you would know I enjoy my relaxation time in the morning. Outlying factors, which will not be discussed in this blog session, keep me up late. Because I stay up late I wake up tired and not well rested, so what do I do? I drink coffee. I expect the coffee to give me the extra jolt and focus to work effectively, but that’s not quite the situation.

At one point in my life, not to long ago, I was slowly upgrading to four sometimes five cups of coffee, and that was for like a year strait, and that amount would have me functioning well and hyper. Now, because I wake up late for reasons, I get about two cups of coffee before I get to my eight o’clock, and than I have another and a shot of expresso before my afternoon class. Despite the caffeine content, while in class I still seem to not get the full effect of it and still seem to be falling asleep in almost all of my classes. More seep or more caffeine? That’s a lose and lose situation, due to time constraints.      

            Today I have decide that I am a great public speaker; not that the decision is completely mine, but I have come to the realization that I have great communication skills, getting my point across thru spoken word is not terribly hard for me. If only the smooth way the words roll off my tongue worked the same way for the way my pens rolls across my paper, I don’t seem to be that lucky. I have realized when I am writing I seem to over think every thing, almost to much to fast and the issue at hand is that I can’t write as fast as I think. So when I’m moving to slow and thinking to fast ideas that I would have used do not get down on paper and that’s why when I speak the sentences come out so much smoother, because my words can keep up with my.   

I really hope writers block is normal, because I get it at least once a day. I would be having it now if I didn’t decide to rant on how annoying writers block is. I initially believed, when I first started to write paper, essays and ect., that writers block was caused by lack of knowledge, but now that doesn’t seem to be the case . I know a good amount if information about stuff, and yet I still get stuck at a line, not knowing where to go. Even great writers who have been writing for years get writers block. I want to know why, is it because of pressure? Is it perfectionism, not wanting to say some thing in one way because it won’t sound perfect? Is it both of them? Or is it just one of those things that can’t be explained, and probably won’t be?

(if there is a real study on writers block… please let me know)

5 am. A time not too many people appreciate. Before the even break of dawn, is my favorite part of the day, and after my explanation, you just might re-consider your schedule, and consider one an hour or two earlier.

                   Morning are sacred to me, I wake up at 5 am almost ever morning. The reason for this is, I believe 

every person needs personal time where nothing should matter, nothing in the world. Before everyone else in the

 house is awake it’s just me, me and my cup of coffee. All problems of the day before do not exist for that hour,

 I don’t even think, I just embrace morning and its quiet peacefulness. One word SERENITY-The quality or state 

of being serene; clearness and calmness; quietness; stillness; peace.

I can’t stand soda… I, like every one else, enjoy a nice cold beverage during a long hot day but I’ve come to the conclusion that I will swear off the syrup filled carbonated beverage, more commonly known as soda, or pop.

            I have worked in the restaurant business for the past year and at the movie theatre the year before that, both in which the serving of soda is inevitable. The serving of soda was not the problem for me, but when the soda ran out of the stuff that made it have its flavor and I had to change it, is where we conflicted. The flavoring for the soda is a thick, sticky syrup. Syrup is a great word for it because if u never seen or touched it I would say that it can be most related to pancake syrup, in its texture and stickiness. The syrup was not the only thing that turned me off of soda, it was an experiment I did. It wasn’t much of a experiment, I put cola in a waxed paper Dixie cup, and left it over night. The following day I noticed the cup was disintegrating. I could only amagin what it could be doing to your stomach.

Tips are more than just appreciated:

    My occupation is a server/ bartender, the object of the job is simple: you greet the guest at your table, take their drink and/ or food order, deliver their drink and/ or food, and take care of any other necessities of the guest, Its not quit as simple as it sounds. As a server I treat ever guest, initially, the same, their response determines the approach I would take to adjust to the needs of the guest. Almost anything to accommodate their needs and keep them satisfied, I would do for them. Why do I do this? It’s not because I’m best friends with the world, buts it’s because my tuition payment depends on it. The pay rate for a standard server is $2.15 an hour, for a bartender its $3.15, after taxes checks are likely to be between zero to twenty dollars. That statistic is one not too many people know about or completely understand, the tip that is left on the table after your meal, is pretty much the pay check for the person who brought the food.

So here is a tip for every one:

10% = Tip (not great service but you did get your food and/ or drink)

15% = Ok tip (Ok service)

20% = Good tip (Good service)          

25% = Excellent tip (Excellent service)
