If you really look at it, I shouldn’t really have that much of a boring one. Yeah I get paid to watch my brothers, yeah my mom goes places. But what sucks is that, one I just have one friend that I depend on to go places, two my mom works odd hours so I hardly get time to my self, three when my mom does go places its normally with her friends who I hate, four all my other friends are always busy. I get screwed over all the time. Oddly the idea of a family get together to my mom is like near impossible for her. She won’t take us anywhere unless her friends have say in it or bring up the idea, so now i get left out of a trip to where they are going (normally a park). Wrong in so many ways.

Anyway I finally managed to do something for my self, yet my timing is always off or bad. I decided to go to bartending school, sounds great. $895 bucks for 40 hours. The slots avaliable was for this month (july) and the next one free was in October. Why didn’t I pick October is beyond me. This way I could of saved up to pay it off and pay my friend for tickets to a show she wanted me to go to. Now I feel like the only broke ass college student with barely any money to get to and from Manhattan to take the class. I got $450 to hurry up and pay by the end of this month and then another $445 when my two weeks are up. They offer job placement so I can easily pay it off after I get a job. But due to the length of the class 4 hours a day for 2 weeks or 8 hours a day for 1 week, I feel that I may not be able to get everything down correctly to go out and become a bartender. I want to be able to consistently make drinks the right way, learn the drinks by heart, learn my co-brands, cordials, and technique for speed. Learning these drink recipes is no problem, its everything else like the co-brands (to up sell drinks), and all the cordials we covered. The instructor covers the class pretty fast and seems to miss some cordials we use. He was like we should know the alcohol content of them. Last I check he never mentioned them to our afternoon class. Need to mention this to him. Also with such a demanding and competitive job I want to be able to feel like I know all the course has to offer. He was like to be confident that you are a bartender when your done with the course . Honestly the course lacks in this ability to teach their students how to be confident bartenders.

Well I got one more week left to do with a few more drink lessons to cover and two tests (written and speed). Wish me luck.
