    Shiloh, hey I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so patient with me about training. I apologize if I seemed pushy. I worked with Kendra today and it was amazing. Hope to see you soon and have a great day.

    Hey! Just wanted to say Hi. :) Things are going well, it's definitely picking up... little by little. The campus schedule has a big affect on things, our biggest morning rush is before the 11 a.m. classes. Quite the adrenaline flow goin' there... I really love it! Gettin' pretty good with the latte art, but I have a long way to go still. I'm feeling pretty confident about my abilities, and I've had a couple people tell me my cappucinos are worth pictures. :) I hear frequently that my drinks are the best people have ever had, which is an amazing self-confidence booster. Every day is a new challenge to learn something and someone new. Plus, I have the most amazing schedule that works fabulously with my life... what more can a Barista ask for?? :)
