Right,
I haven't blogged in a long while. So here I am. I'm just going to jot down whatever pops into my head, kay? I apologize if it's random. or weird.
Good things don't last forever. But neither do the bad.
I'm quite sure I failed my maths test. One of the chain of events that caused a horrible day. Had a mini breakdown that night. Got over it.
Sometimes, I laugh at how concerned I can be about extremely trivial things when there's so much more to life.
IB or VCE?!
Who am I kidding? I'm not that person, so why do I even try?
I can be quite heartless at times. It's not a great quality.
Been downloading and listening to heaps of music lately. :)
Slowly coming to terms with the fact that maybe I'm not as likable as I would want to be. Whether it be due to lack of looks, humor, interestingness or fun-ness. Ah well. Can't have it all, can I?
If they really were my friends, they should accept all of me, mistakes, flaws and imperfections, right? I shouldn't have to be trying this hard. My problem? Perhaps.
Well. I think that's enough of me for now.
Thoughts whirling,
Erica.

Second Week of Work Experience
Okay,
So my second week of work experience at Convent Bakery. I'm actually reeeeally glad I did it. It was an amazing experience. I got to work in the front (waitressing), back (bakery) and the front kitchen. The people there were extremely friendly. For example, many of them who were working in other areas smiled and bothered asking for my name even though they really didn't have to.
In the front, I met Lilly, Laura, Lina, Jas, Giovanni, Guilliano, Goody (his nickname), Ella and Matthew. And they sometimes spoke in Italian. It was preetty darn cool. I was the 'runner' and went around clearing tables and serving the dishes and coffee. I kinda want a part time job as a waitress now. :P
The bakery, surprisingly, wasn't as fun as the front. I met Jo, Jack and Janet. They were nice too, although I think Janet found it a bit of a bother to find things for me to do.. Oh, btw, Jack is a 15 year old 'apprentice'. He got into some trouble quit school. o.o You would think he would be kind of messed up, but he was actually extremely nice to me and helped me heaps. :) Nice people are nice. I got to cut and pack a gazillion cookies and pipe jam into cookies! But the second day was pretty much sweeping and mopping and UGH. Washing dishes. -.-
I met Dom too. He was a great person and offered me food, as well as a job at the bakery on the weekends. :D BUT I can't. :( Because my weekends are packed.
The front kitchen was good too! I peeled potatoes.. BUT I got to chop up, grate (the grating machine was super cool!) and mix 5 different cheeses for the cheesy toastie. I met Fabio, Mihir and Suk. They actually took the time to talk to me and find interesting things for me to do.
OH and I got free bread everyday. Their bread is amazing. And I also got to choose any pie or those bread rolls with gourmet fillings. The roast beef baguette was super tasty. :) OH and hot chocolate too. :P
Stefano would say 'Ciao, bella' to me. Which translates into 'Hello, beautiful' or 'Bye, beautiful'. But I'm assuming bella also means girl. Because as sweet as it would be, it'd be a little. Strange. haha.
I'm actually gonna miss it..
I actually quite enjoyed public tranport-ing.
Thinking I have fully experienced work,
Erica
