Enjoying Friends...

Tonight, my husband and I went to a movie and dinner with our two best friends. We met right in the middle between our two houses, and went to see Resident Evil: Afterlife and then to Olive Garden for dinner. I know what your thinking, "Who Cares!" But, the point I am trying to make is that meeting up with friends for simple things like movies, and dinners is what keeps us going. I have had a rough month or so, and just getting together with them, talking about other things like their pregnancy, or the UFC, school, and others just makes me feel at ease. It helps me remember that there are more important things in life than jobs. You need people in your life to sometimes help you sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment. Although the movie sucked, and disappointed us all, dinner was wonderful and it was great to see one another. We have all been friends for a long time, and it just makes me so happy that we are still very close to one another even though we are all doing very different things. I love having friends that know everything, understand us, and want to spend time with us more than just once a month. It's interesting to see sometimes how friendships work, last, and end. Finally, I just wanted to say how thankful I am for all my friends near and close, and how I love all of them!

P.S. - I have my first shift at The Family Dollar tomorrow! Wish me luck! I hope that I can stay awake for an 8 hour shift, and that my feet won't give out on me! haha

Everything Happens For a Reason, I hope!

Just recently, I was turned down for the Teach For America position, that I spent long months applying and preparing for. I can't say that I wasn't disappointed to read the generic "Sorry you did not get it" letter they sent me. It was hard to see my dream of working for Teach For America, and finally being a teacher get dashed, especially with a generic letter. I really had a great feeling about the process, and left the interview feeling like I nailed it. I guess that I didn't impress like I thought I did. I broke down at first from the shock that I didn't get my dream job, and then I cried because I realized how badly I did want it, and how wrong I had been. Later that night I talked to my mom about what had happened, she knew I was upset about missing this opportunity and offered some advice. She said like so many do, "Everything happens for a reason." At first I was annoyed, because I feel that so many people use this logic as a cop-out. But, as...

So Lost...

For so long I have been focused on getting a full time job, and now that I have that I am once again focusing on my future. Questions just keep plaguing me like: "What am I going to be doing in a year?" "Will I go to grad school?" "Will I get a teaching job?" "Will I stay at my current job?" "Will I get another job somewhere?" And now I just can't seem to get these questions out of my head. I feel so lost. I don't know what to do, where to apply, how to find new opportunities. Ever since I was a little kid, I have been striving for something. Whether it's doing well in sports each season, or getting good grades at the end of the year, getting Top 10 of my class, and then graduating high school, then it was doing well in college, finding a good major, and then graduating. Now that I am done with all that, I am finding that it's hard for me not to feel a little lost, lonely, confused, and without purpose. Once I discove...

They also do carbonfree shipping which adds on a little to your books, but it helps "offset" these emissions through the purchase of clean energy credits and reversing deforestation."
