I want one. I want to put it up in my room so that I can look at it every morning when I'm heading off to college classes. It'll be the reasons for me to get out of bed. I want my restuarant to be similar to that one.
I've been dreaming about my restuarant lately.
My ex-ex boyfriend, Phillip, liked to tell me that instead of owning my own restuarant that I'd WORK at a restuarant. I remember the first time he told me that. We had been walking down the halls of our high school, and we were talking about the classes we were considering taking. I mentioned something about Entreprenership, and he laughed. I was curious why he was laughing, and then he asked me why I was thinking about taking that class. I finally told him that when I was five years old, I had always dreamed of opening up my own restuarant. I even told him that I would draw up menus and pick out plots of land while we were living down in Florida. He laughed again. At this point, I was somewhat angry, and I asked him why he was laughing, and that's when he said, "Mary, you won't be owning a restuarant, you'll be working in one."
I remember slamming my locker shut, storming off, and I believe two weeks later we broke up.
It's funny, I saw his mother about two weeks ago at Walmart. I told her about my aspirations, and once again, someone was shocked that I was going to college for business management.
I just want to know, what's so shocking about me going to college for business management? I always get this fucking feeling that people think I'm this dumb fuck. I wonder if anyone realize that I did 4 years of high school in 3 1/2 years. I doubt that. It fucking pisses me off that when I was at graduation a friend of my mother's said "OH my GOD, Mary, I was shocked to hear you named announced at graduation! We thought you dropped out!" How fucked up is that? Do people have no tact anymore? I mean, I wasn't rude enough to say "Wow, I was suprised to hear that your daughter isn't knocked up!" and walk off. I just grinned and beared it.
Later on, of course, I cried.
I think that's why I'm scared to go off to college. Because for three years now, I've been hearing comments like that. Ok, so I wasn't an honor student, but there were kids that I was suprised to find out that weren't honor students. But I'm not fucking stupid. I'm not out getting high, drunk, or screwed on the weekends.
It just pisses me off sometimes.
I guess that's why I go off to college and get that degree. That's why I go to Italy. That's why I do open up the best damn Italian Restuarant this side of the east coast.
And that's why I just spit in their food when they come to eat their! ;)
