Grin and Bear it

I had a somewhat interesting week.

After APs were over, it was time for the NHS induction/graduation thing. It was a lot quicker than last year and I actually almost enjoyed it. One of my invited inspiring teachers gave me a 25$ gift card to borders which I thought to be a lovely gesture. I also got to see Mrs. Mac again! She was my 6th grade English teacher and she was probably one of the only nice people I encountered throughout those horrifying years of middle school. I was worried that she wouldn't remember me, but her enthusiasm suggested otherwise.

The dessert that they served afterwards was very excellent (especially the cream puffs). While I was rushing over to snatch me some eats, Claudia tried to hi-five me but hit me right in the nose. Being the fragile child that I am, my nose immediately started gushing out blood. Luckily, Alexis was there to help, and she seemed to know exactly how to handle the situation.

Yesterday, while I was working at Panera, I encountered the meanest customer I've had in the 5 months I've had this terrible job. She was rude, she kept complaining and yelling, and she even went as far as to insult me. I'm sorry, but if I'm being nice to you, you better be nice to me. Of course, I just had to smile at her, hand her the bagel, and tell her to have a nice day. I wish I had just a little bit more nerve. If I did, I would have jumped over that counter and shown her who's boss. Unfortunately, college is very expensive, and I need this job over the summer so I can save up my money.
