I 'll be in Poland in two weeks. It's still a bit surreal to me after waiting for so long... I bought my tickets in March or April. The time just flew by.

I have been making bank. Five nights, and I'm already up to $380 in tips alone, and I never worked more than five and a half hours any of those nights, sometimes just over three. Plus I'll have ( Read more... )

Arrived on Friday night, starving, immediately ordered a jalapeno pineapple pizza from Pizza Time. Arikka picked me up witih Autumn, and we picked up my pizza and then went to the girls' house.
