August 8, 200916 yr oh my> well it was actually very overwhelming and difficult. I go back for my 2nd day of training tomorrow. I go in at 8:30 in the morning! and i'll be done around 3! :/ I still don't really know how i feel about since i just started, but i think i'll end up liking it once i get the hang of it. It's just a lot of work. I'll be making great money though. so that's good! :)
August 8, 200916 yr at least it's keeping you busy, right? so you're going to keep doing it while you're at school? :thinking:
August 8, 200916 yr Cool Makayla ! :nice: Can you speak french now ? :D That's not a problem Zoe I love heat ! Try to walk in Washington during the next 3 days, hope we'll meet *coldplay karma* :P
August 8, 200916 yr yeah. I'll be working in the evenings. It will actually work really well with my school schedule because i only have class monday through thursday 8:30 a.m. to 11:15. So i get out super early. Which i am very excited about. And then i'll just work at night. like every other day. and then weekends. But yeah. I have to have a job while i'm in school. I have been working at dominos for two years while i was in high school. And now i'm leaving there for this new job. And no perrine. I still don't know french very well. :lol:
August 8, 200916 yr Haha I know it's really hard ! But if you want to know something just ask :D Anyway I really admire you, it must be so hard to have a job in addition of the uni !
August 8, 200916 yr ^ So is the job right near your school? I never realized that you live that close to Denver, I always thought you were far off in the depths of Colorado :P Cool Makayla ! :nice: Can you speak french now ? :D That's not a problem Zoe I love heat ! Try to walk in Washington during the next 3 days, hope we'll meet *coldplay karma* :P haha, so if I meet any French person I should assume it's you? :lol: And it's supposed to be 100 degrees tomorrow and Sunday :bigcry:
August 8, 200916 yr Wow... that hot ! :stunned: What are you planning to do... except staying at home because of the heat ? :D And yah of course I'll be the only french person there !

I live about 25 minutes away from Denver.
August 8, 200916 yr Wow... that hot ! :stunned: What are you planning to do... except staying at home because of the heat ? :D And yah of course I'll be the only french person there ! Nope, my boyfriend's taking me sailing tomorrow :D so why are you coming all the way over here? No. the job isnt anywhere near my school. haha. my school is right in the middle of Denver, and my job is like 10 minutes away from my house. I live about 25 minutes away from Denver. yeah, that's why I was confused! So you have to commute kinda, ewwwwww :P Why didn't you wait and try to get something right in Denver? :thinking:

I wont have work till the evenings so its fine. It's not like i'll be going straight from school to work. I'll be fine on time. :)
August 8, 200916 yr Cool ! Anyway I won't be in DC before tomorrow evening soo... And I'll be there for vacations, I'm doing a little tour of the North-West part of the US :nice:
August 8, 200916 yr Oooh, gotcha :nice: As someone who's grown up in DC where we have the 2nd-worst traffic in the country, I just despise any form of commute :lol: that's why I just walk/take the metro everywhere :thumbsup: edit: oooh, for vacation? want any DC recommendations? :dance:
August 8, 200916 yr Okay thanks ! Anyway I think we were planning to let the car at the hotel ! That's how big cities are ! So when are you seeing McCartney ?
August 8, 200916 yr Okay thanks ! Anyway I think we were planning to let the car at the hotel ! That's how big cities are ! So when are you seeing McCartney ? sorry, the commute thing was to Makayla... and I already saw him! :lol: I saw him last night :nice: And give me 5 minutes to think of stuff to do here, there's a lot :P
August 8, 200916 yr I call this post "Zoe's guide to DC" :P Hmmm, okay... so for museums, the only non-Smithsonian one that I'd recommend is the Newseum, it's really cool and it's right on Pennsylvania Ave, you can't miss it. It's all about the history of the media, and they just completely revamped it, it was closed for almost 10 years! But it's expensive... Other than that, you should really just wander around all the Smithsonians, they're all free so you can just see what you want and move onto the next one :dance: The new Ocean Hall in Natural History is supposed to be awesome, but I haven't seen it yet :bigcry: If you need to eat in a Smithsonian I recommend the National Gallery, because places like Air & Space just have gross fast food :sick: But I highly recommend all the Smithsonians (just not food-wise :P) Also if you want something more serious you can go to the Holocaust Museum, it's fantastic but very intense. In terms of memorials, if you want to go to the top of the Washington Monument you need to get there really fucking early to get a ticket (unless they've changed the system). I love the Jefferson Memorial :wacky: and some of the newer ones like the WWII one are great too... Places where locals (like me! :D) go are places like Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, to a lesser extent Georgetown (which has amazing food and shopping but can get pretty expensive)... They all have amazing restaurants :thumbsup: other little things- on the metro escalators STAND RIGHT WALK LEFT or we'll end up meeting when I push you down the escalator screaming in frustration :lol: Seriously, it's every Washingtonian's biggest pet peeve. Try to see things other than the Mall attractions, because as cool as they are, there's a TON of other stuff around, I promise. and fun fact- if you drive down a road called Foxhall Road in Northwest and see an old house with a bunch of big white buildings, that's my school! :dance: :dance: THE END. Phew! I :heart: DC :wacky:
August 8, 200916 yr Haha sorry I was tired :D How was Paul ? Better than Coldplay ? :P Aww thanks you so much ! :hug: Anyway as almost all the museums are free, maybe I could visit the expensive-but-cool museum :D I'll tell you about the Ocean hall ! Thanks again, have a great day sailing with your BF ! :nice: I already booked my tickets for the Capitol, but for the White House it's just impossible ... Have you already been there ? Haha I'll remember that for the metro ! But even if you scream I'd still be happy to meet you :lol: And don't worry I'm gonna do many other things than the Mall attractions !
August 9, 200916 yr MARISA! HI HI HI HI HI HI HI! wanna hear about my day? I wanna gush to someone :P
August 9, 200916 yr YES! :dance: Okay so this is the first time I've seen my boyfriend for two months, and he took me sailing at the National Harbor! And then we went back to his house, and I found out that he'd planned a whole surprise birthday party for me with all of my friends :cheesy: It was the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me! :wacky: :wacky:
August 9, 200916 yr that's so cute zoe!!! :wacky: i'm very happy for you!! :D love the new sig by the way! :D
