So the family picnic was yesterday.
Man, it was a pain in the ass to get there. I find out at the last minute that my parents were going to be leaving a lot earlier for breakfast, and I was planning on taking the ride there with them. I had no idea it was going to be starting that early. *Sigh* To make a long story short-- I repeat, it was a major royal pain in the ASS to get there, enough to seriously piss me off, but hey, it's over. The picnic was just alright, but I honestly didn't have to be there. But I am rather happy that I went, mainly because I've gotten a little closer to my brother's new girlfriend, and had a lovely chat with my father. I spent some time with him since he couldn't do much walking, due to the surgery he had a few weeks ago on his foot. It was a bad day for a picnic though, I was freezing last night, stupid weather. -_-
My mom was happy, and she was happy I was there, and that's nice, because I'm
never doing it again, =P
The day before, which was friday. Jose and I checked out that Bartender School, and it sounds nice! I told my parents about it at the picnic, and ..yeah they're a bit skeptical about it. Especially my dad, unless he knows for sure something is guaranteed, which is pretty much nothing nowadays, he won't get hyped up for it. I'm like that as well for the most part, but damn, something has to work out. So we spoke to the lady Jose and I had an appointment for, and because the two of us are joining together, she gave us a discount. The cost was originally $1,195, jacked down to $795, but for us, $695 each, for 3 weeks, and that's not bad.
Included will be.. let me copy this down, lol:
• Registration fee
• Tuition
• Professional Bartenders Manual
• Secrets of Finding a Job Manual
• Handouts
• Supplies
• Alcohol Awareness Certification
• Professional Bartenders Certification
• Unlimited Personalised Placement Assistance
• Guaranteed Learning
• Additional Practice Time at NO extra cost if needed
• Professional Business Cards
• B.A.S.S.E.T. ID card
• Graduation Identification
So I dunno, we'll see what happens. They claimed they will help find you a job, which is something my mom was feeling a little skeptical about. She said "They always say that." but said they might do it but for the ones that really stick out. Again, we'll see, you'll never know unless you try. XD
