Second Post!

Basically, this post will sum up a big chunk of my summer activities/plans/responsibilities/[Insert other word here] due to its domination on mi vida. My main reason for living right now seems to be working as much as possible to pay for my Harry Potter 2.0 expedition [See post below] so that my family doesn't have to pull out money from my college fund or any other place that does not need to be deprived.

La Lista:

AM

It's A Grind

Currently, I am Bagel Boy/Pastry Child/Panini Pal/World Famous Barista, and still working on my Barista skills. I've got all of our Iced and Iced Blended drinks down, so whip on by and I'll whip you one up! Complete randomoid note about a Machiatto: did you know that "Machiatto" means "to mark" in Italian, and that's why a Machiatto has a dollop of foam on top, and also that "espresso" means "especially for you"? Pretty neat, eh? Coffee Sugestions: Iced White Mocha is amazing...and an "Uncoffee" suggestion is our Iced 50/50: It's fresh orange juice blended and iced with ghiradelli white chocolate, aka an amazing dreamsicle of sorts! I'm telling you, we honestly have better coffee & prices than Starbucks! I can't tell you how many times every day we hear that.

PM

I work in the Banana at the new outdoor mall called The Domain [It's a huge 6 million dollar flagship Banana Republic] in Sales on the floor and actually have training to work Cashier as well to put in some more hours. It's quite fun and I have to meet insane quotas, but everything works out in the end. Another benefit of working here besides the pay is I get some pretty hefty discounts...60% on seasonal clothes and 50% on everything else, and I also get discounts at the other two stores [Old Navy & Gap] because of Gap owning all of them!

Sunday+Wednesday

Canyon Creek Church aka "Jesus School" according to Mother Unit.

On Sunday mornings I work in the childcare center as both a Sunday School Teacher, as well as basically anything else that my bosses tell me to do! I work with the "Dragonflies" who are about 4-5 years old [They're all going on to Kindergarten now!] and the cutest darn children you've ever seen. One of my saddest things about leaving to Wales is that I'm going to miss my kids a bunch, as well as all of the really neat people that work there! Wednesday evenings I hang out with a bunch of kids for a while and play with them/prepare for Sunday/watch movies on the gargantuan movie theatre that the church has. I love it!

And of course in typical american summer spirit, I mow my family's hard as well as our neighbors' yard. I actually pulled 53 lbs of weeds out of the neighbors yard a couple weeks ago...IT WAS INSANE!

I don't think I'm going to be able to go to Camp C.A.M.P. at all this summer, unless I can somehow find time to take of work. I talked to a bunch of my friends that are counselors there and they said it was good ol' Camp and that I definitely need to come. There's a good reason that Camp is my favorite place in the world! I'm hoping that I can somehow utilize Atlantic College to help C.A.M.P. out [It's fully funded through donations and needs a lot of help], but I'm not really sure how I can do so yet.

I'm supposed to receive my official letter of acceptance into Atlantic, along with an information packet about "Codes" and services offered there, as well as other information required to be deported. I don't remember if I mentioned this before, but in Wales they call your classes "Codes", so that's what I'm talking about when I say that!

Hope all is well with everyone!

Busy but having fun,
Kevin
