Let's see, it's been three weeks since I've began spring clasees. It's a shame how my world revolves around when the school quarters begin. Really, its not all that sad, because this is the life that I chose for myself. In a way, I'm gonna hate to see it go, that is, if I'm really up for graduating in December. It all boils down to one class, the capstone (final) class for my Family Business/Entrepreneurship minor. If it's offered in the fall, then I will have my BBA as the sweetest Christmas present ever, and if it's offered in the Winter or Spring in 05, then that means I can have the degree a early birthday gift.

For the time being, I'm just trying to adjust to taking 19 credits hours of courses this quarter, which I vowed that I would never do in my entire tenure as a college student. Once the tuition has made an official increase for the 04-05 academic year, that swayed me to take on another class instead of taking a third in the summer and paying out of pocket for, or wearing myself down in my possibly final quarter in the fall.

And then the Real World kicks in. Not the tv show, the part of my life where I have to decide on what I want to do for a living, at least for the next 5 years. I'm unsure if there are any people nowadays that stay with one company for 30 years or more. In the generations past, that's how things were, but now people change jobs like they change their drawls (yea drawls, not drawers). These four and some years went by like the previous four years that I endured, also known as high school to many. Sometimes I like to call it hell, cuz I went through many life changing events between 1996 and 2000 in my personal life and school life that it altered my outlook to an extent.

To sum it all up: I just want to find a good career that I won't have to dread going to five days a week.

Somehow the Friday Five from 4-9 (My girl Dezzy's birthday) fits in with this career and school discussion, somewhat anyways:

1. What do you do for a living? I'm a student. I work p-t though, on campus @ the library.

2. What do you like most about your job? The flexibility, I'm going to miss that when I have to find a f-t position somewhere.

3. What do you like least about your job? The occasional gruntwork. Then again, my position is the Student Assistant. So that's what I end up with.

4. When you have a bad day at work it's usually because _____... I'm sick or really tired.

5. What other career(s) are you interested in? Anything creative that's in the music industry. I wanna shine, baby. :)

For now, instead of pondering all of life's questions about my future, I'm gonna go and relax. It's a beautiful day out, and I got my bags packed for yet another road trip. This time, I'm headed to Jersey and NYC for 2 days. Supposed to have been 3 days but things occur for a reason. I'm excited about getting out the state once again! Happy weekend to the 5 people that read this, if that many. I may make a out of town post once I get settled in in Jersey early Saturday morning.


An update to the post from March 14th: I got selected to participate in Study Abroad! I go to Montreal for a week in June! :D Now, that's something to celebrate. Plus, its not that official yet, but I may have an summer internship too, I promised the lady that I interviewed with that I would keep in contact with her during this quarter to let her know of my summer whereabouts. I could definately use the extra money, especially when I get my L's. I'm shooting for a Memorial Day deadline for that one. Now I wonder why I missed all of this in the paragraphs above. Oh well.
