Hype

After a year of living in Italy, I would have thought I'd learned.... but apparently I never realized that a double espresso stays in my system for over 5 hours. So here I am, it's 9:30 and I'm drumming my fingers impatiently and tapping my foot, because it's too early and I'm too wired to go to sleep, but I've finished all my homework and have nothing to do. The ride home from tutoring was endless, because it was all I could do to keep my speed below 35, and try not to race the cars around me. But, coupled with the caffeine rush: an adrenaline rush! I went to 'Hey, That's Amore' to do my homework tonight, the Italian cafe where I meet for my weekly Italian conversation group: not only did the cute (but unavailable) artist remember me, but the new owner of the cafe is marvelously nice... so, on a whim I asked if they are hiring - and he asked me to sit down for an interview! So, vediamo, I may be employed within the week, and have a means for saving up for an exciting, travel-filled summer! Not to mention it's a wonderful place to work, and the people all seem marvelous.... oh, I hope, I hope, I hope I get the job!
