New job, new plan

I had a job try-out yesterday by hotel Campanille in Amersfoort. It was one of my first times really working as a waitress. But apparently, I'm a natural and I got hired after just a couple of hours. The good thing about this job is that it's easy enough to do and there are set shifts you work. Either from 7 am - 3 pm. or from 3 pm - 11 pm. There's a lot of work, and hard work, but that makes the time fly. I won't be officially starting till next week. And then I work part-time for 2 weeks. After that I'll be working full-time. I've already decided to only do this until school starts. Cause this company at least hires even if you don't have experience. After this I will have experience, and I can look for a job in a restaurant that is easier to combine with my school.

The colleagues I've met so far are really nice and kind. Two friends of mine work there already, but they are leaving the company soon. Won't be working with them long. I'm actually hired to replace one of my friends there. Funny how that works. Just seriously need to buy new shoes for the job. They require black shoes, but for under a skirt. And all I have is black boots, or black pumps. NO way can you work 8 hours serving in high heels. So, shopping time. Great when you're short on cash right. Not really.

That's actually the only good thing so far. But at least it means I can set my plans into motion. I mean, I do have a schedule to keep to. 21 months. I hope to be getting on the plane to my new home by the end of February 2009. Still seems so far away doesn't it... Well, it does to me. Have lots to do until that time though. Work, save money, get my drivers licence, pay off my credit-loan, get certificate for school (for finishing first year), get my visa/citizenship, and I'm sure there's more I haven't thought of yet... There always is...

So yeah, schedule on that:
1. pay off credit-loan
2. get driver's licence
3. visa/citizenship

1/2/3. during all this, save money and work and school... Easily said. But I think it's going to be hard times coming. Planning money and time in all this. But it will be so worth it when I touch down on US soil, permanently.
