New Job

It's like the snow never stops! And to think, we've still got 3 more months of this...wow.
Anyway, I started a new job last night. I'm now working two in order to pay the bills. Luckily for me, my main job here in Alumni Relations had great benefits like health insurance and a free graduate degree, but now that I'm working an extra 3 nights a week, I won't have to be as freaked about my money situation.
I'm hostessing/waitressing at a restaurant called Angelina Centini's, right down the hill from the College. The people seem nice enough there and it's a low-stress environment, which is always a plus. I did find out that the building is haunted though, which I love! Angelina Centini created the restaurant in the 30's and then died in 1955. She was only about 60. They say her ghost lives in the restaurant and certain employees refuse to go into certain areas of the restaurant, like the downstairs bathrooms (they're for customers and located in the basement). Angelina's great-granddaughter, Angela, now owns the place. It's cool because there are all these old photos on the walls of the Centinis, spanning many generations.

Monday

What a good weekend I had! Mostly it consisted of cleaning the house (we finally took down the Christmas tree) and grocery shopping. I find comfort in these routine things. They make me feel like I have some control over my life!
I finished reading a great book, Lucky by Alice Sebold. For those of you who may not be familiar with Alice, she is the author of The Lovely Bones. Lucky is her memoir and is about her rape and subsequent trial while she was a sudent at Syracuse Univerity in the early 80s. I really liked the book, although I found it difficult to read at times.
