My blog

I am so incredibly happy that it is the weekend. It has been a very long week. They seem to get longer and longer now that I am working 32 hours a week and getting more and more homework every week. This is the life I signed up for though, I knew what I was getting myself into.
 Its kind of crazy to think back to where I was just this summer. I was just like every other normal working adult. I was working for a cable company as a sales administrator and I loved working there. I really did love almost everything about it. The people were great, my job was great, people respected me and came to me to do tough tasks or if they needed help because I was the person that they relied on. The pay was pretty decent too but even with all the bells and whistles, I still wanted something more. Sometime around January of this year, I applied for a promotion to be the front office supervisor. The position came down to me and another lady, and she got accepted for the job. When that manager told me the news, he stated that I was great and it was a really hard choice but she had a little more experience and she had a degree which put her over the top. Losing a promotion that I really wanted at that time really got me thinking. What am I doing with my life? Yes, I have a job that I love but really, I'm just floating by. I just live my life day to day and I am never going to get the kind of life that I truely want to live by doing this. I really want a family with at least four kids and a big house with a big yard and a dog and I could never afford to have that kind of life by floating by. So that is why I decided to come to college and I think it was the best decision of my life.
So now, as I sit in this hot and dingy laundry mat and do my homework and stress about money and tests and essays, I know in the end it will all be worth it. I am going to be doing something that I choose to do, not something I just fall into and I will get to live the life I have always imagined. Now if I only I could make time fly a little faster.
