Neglect
I decided I should start using this again on a more regular basis. I'm not sure I like the purple thing I've got going on, but I needed a change.
Today was the first of my training sessions at Kohl's. Two hours of staring at a computer screen, watching reenactments of horror stories in customer service. But the people seem nice. My old job is not only grating on my nerves, but everyone is just so burnt out on the place and the routines. With Kohl's being new, I think I can expect at least a few months of pleasant environment and people.
I'm starting to wonder if graduate school will just be something I talk about a lot or something I actually pursue. I definitely don't have the money to pay for it without a generous scholarship. If I fall out of touch with my professors, I won't have any letters of recommendation. Sometimes I start thinking about the time I spent in NY or LA, or how much I think I'd love Chicago. They all have excellent schools. And then there are places in Boston and Iowa that can boast to having created some of the best modern writers, people I read and talked about in class just a few months ago. I don't know. I can't see myself moving away from home - I'd wonder too much about what my friends are doing and have too high of a phone bill from calling my mom - but other times, I see it so clearly and it makes me feel free and adventurous.
