winding down...
Talk about Senioritis. I can't wait til Internship is over. I can't wait til School is over. I can't wait til it actually starts snowing so I can go boarding all winter long!
2 more weeks and my undergraduate career is complete!
2 more weeks and reality will hit.
2 more weeks and I have to decide where the hell I'm going.
My current game plan is to stay are Bare Escentuals. I'm going to try to pursue PR, Education or Brand Awareness opportunities. This is a brand I truly admire and believe in, so I owe it to myself to try and make a career out of it. Plus, my internship with WellCall did not turn out as I initially expected. And what I learned from this, is that I should have listened to my heart about what internship I should have chosen. I should have chosen either DPH - Green Programs or Asian American Recovery Services. But the idea of grants that fund employment is unsettling. The Business and Private aspect of WellCall drew me in, but sadly, it was not the place, nor experience for me.
But I am ever grateful for the internship, don't get me wrong. I learned many skills that I can take with me wherever I go, and I got a chance to experience the Castro to the fullest! Hot Cookie is the best :).
Gee, what about Graduate school? Will I ever attempt to get into Nursing School? So many friends have shared good news about their acceptance to the program which brings me smiles and hope for myself. But is my heart really set on that? I can't even go through a damn episode of Gray's Anatomy without closing my eyes or crying. I don't think it's in me. The money, the job security, the flexibility, the chance to help others, drew me in. Pressures from Mother drew me in. But it's not where my heart is at this moment. In my room there is a poster Rommel got me for $1 at Ikea. It's a green frame with a sillohete of a woman who looks like me with a microphone. That is the true relection of me. That is who I am.
And the relationship I have with my mother has significantly improved. She is at peace that I'm not pursuing anything Medical related for now. She actually is excited for my life. Our cousin Jade got recently engaged, and is now asking ME about my life and future with Rommel. WTF? And not even Rommel and I have even begun to think about this. I am 22 years old and in no sense ready to settle down. I need figure out what's going on with me before anything. But again, my mom is so at peace with everything that my sister and I have become that she is super supportive and ready for what's to come in my life. I love her so much!
So in two weeks I'll be in and out interviewing to try to step up another rung on the Bare Escentuals coporate ladder. Who knew I'd end up here? I sure didn't. But life throws so many random curveballs at you and at times you cover your ears to what your heart is telling you. So in the next few months, or maybe the next year, we'll find out if listening to the heart is really more logical than listening to your brain...
Best wishes to anyone else finishing school too :). Congratulations!
