go to this video. its good stuff it brings up a very valid point- are we so worried about the word islam and muslims that just mentioning it brings a ngative reaction? Good video regarding McCain, Muslims, and the ignorance of racism.

Its just one way of taking 2 steps at one time

I picked up another job which I think will be really good for me, after a disasterous attempt at the shack! It was so awful working there, such a waste of my time!! I got a job at 939, its a strip club but its Honolulu's premier strip club. I'm not on payroll so I just make the 5$ an hour that is paid out in cash at the end of the night, thats like getting a tip out- 35$ a night on top of what ever tips I make, thats more than my 7$ an hour at hooters especially after they take out taxes!! I only have worked there once so far, last Friday. Eric really got me the job even after I made such a fuss about not needing him to get a job in HI because I can do it on my own rah rah rah. His good friend Kwon is friends with the owner and he is really the one who got me the job. I'm not bitter at all about needing the assistance, not like I thought I would be. I am just happy I got this job I think. Because I'm not on payroll I have to stay at hooters and be on their payroll so I can gain residency. Eric is friends with some of the dancers and cocktail waitresses which bothered me at first, but helped me out in the end. We went in and took a look around and he introduced me to Nina. She was the one who really took me under her wing and helped me out when I started on Friday. For my first night I made 115, tipped out about 15, we owe the bar 15% of our tips at the end of the night, then got 36 for hourly. I think for a first night that wasn't too bad. The dancers are pretty amazing there, they are fun to watch and are rreally good at what they do. Sarah would have a circus there, she is really interested in the pole dancing thing, (not for money just for fun). Most of the other girls were super nice, 2 that started with me were new too so they were automatically nice. Alicia is a Coors Light girl, she basically runs that and I told her about sarah applying there, and she knew who I was talking about!! Talk about a small world!! Once I turn 21 she says they would be excited to hire me especially with cocktail waitressing experience! Oh and I can't pick up extra shifts at 939 until I'm 21 either, so on top of a little extra freedom, there are some other things to look forward to as well. At 939 I can do what I want as I please and if you don't want to approach someone abuot buying drinks you don't have to because its a free for all. You can do as much or as little work as you want really, it was great for a beginner. I'm working tonight too- it will be slow but maybe I can practice sitting down with tables and getting them to buy me drinks. Thats someting I'm not used to working in restuarants, this could be fun!!! I have to work on my smoothness- compared to the other girls I'm pretty formal. But over all I'm sure I could be good at this and make good money here. Next week si going to be a zoo- hooters finally gave me the 5 shifts I have been begging for for th elast month and a half, but now I don't need it because of the second job. Its a lot of work. I'm working

Not to mention my next big exam for anatomy and physiology is on th 17, a wednesday I think? and another 1000 for tuition is due on the 16. Busy month for me.

As for the boy, he is still working sales but is getting ready to transfer to a job at the navy shipyard at the end of this month. He is excited about that but dissapointed he isn't starting sooner- with bills to pay and all and the car sales business going downt the tubes I understand he's stressing. We got a parking stall in Waikiki for 145 /mo a little steep but it helps SO FREAKIN MUCH we aren't waking up in a frenzy realizing its monday or friday and we parked on the ala wai and there goes 160 just in parking fees- that happened twice last month. If you look at it that way we're actually saving money!

I think this is my last tuition payment for this semester, adn I sent in my KCC app so next semester I'll be going there and taking my one class and a lab over there. Its closer to my home, its cheaper, and once I get in there, if I stay and get into the nursing program it is even better than the UH Manoa program. One step at a time though- It will at least save me 2000 in the short run compared to the UH manoa outta state tuition per credit hour.

I have a lab exam in umm... one hour. I should go up to campus and dig out there for a few, study just a little bit more. Then its home and getting ready for work at 939 tonight. :) wish me luck, its gonna be slow.
