Summer Holidays

In one month we’ll be in summer, so today I want to talk about summer holidays.

Last July I worked as a waitress in the restaurant called Portal de la Gallarda, which is in Castelló d’Empúries. I worked there all the month, without any free day and working eight hours per day. I used to start at 2:00 p.m. and finish at 9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m. At first, I liked this job because I had the opportunity to speak other languages like French or English with the customers, but, the second week of work, I started to hate it because I didn’t have any free day, so I couldn’t go to the beach any afternoon! Lucky me I stopped working on August because the owner of the restaurant said he didn’t have enough money to pay me because of the crisis and, because I was the youngest waitress in that restaurant, I was the first to leave. I’ve got to say that the money that I earned wasn’t bad.

I enjoyed the month of August a lot: I went out with my friends, I went to the beach with my boyfriend lots of afternoons and I spent some time at home with my brothers. So, it was fantastic!

As you can see, I didn’t like working as a waitress, but next summer maybe I’ll work in Almata camping as a receptionist if they accept me. Anyway, I prefer to don’t work next summer because I’ve studied very hard in the high school and I also need the summer holidays to do the project work for 'batxillerat'.

To sum up, I’m hoping to finish the classes and to relax.
