Welcome Back....How is your life?
Okay well I said that I would update my journal about my classes, but I think I'm going to go more in depth. No one really wants to hear about how boring life is or whatever, so this is going to be a very deep heartfelt journal.
First and foremost let me say that college is amazing and there is no other way to explain it. My BGeXperience, a weekend long course designed for incoming freshmen, is excellent and it allows me to get to know my psych professor.
ROTC is pretty sweet as well, I need to work on my push-ups but other than that I'm good to go. I'm the only female freshman in the program so I have to work extremely hard to make a name for myself and for the women to come into the program. Also I believe I am one of the few female engineers so go me... I am going to be working on my leadership skills, and I will be the best at everything I do.
I strive to be the best, and when I'm not it eats me up inside. I realize my problems that I had this year at work, and I am currently engaged in working on improving them. I really can't discuss the things that happened at work, nor do I want to because that's between me and the higher-ups of the company. Personal and Professional information, which is highly confidential....on both ends.
Anyhow back on subject, I've been walking a lot more lately seeing as most of my classes and everything are relatively close to my dorm, and I actually enjoy walking. The union has good food, but it's a little fattening...so walking does the body good.
Now onto something everyone has probably been shocked that I haven't talked about in a week....
I was reading someones blog about their work experience at Geauga Lake, and it made me happy to know that someone feels the same way about the Park that I do. I was reading their information about last season, and how everything came together when no one though it would. I was happy to be a part of that, as I was happy to be a part of this season. I feel homesick, but not for my house, I miss working at Geauga Lake, and all the fun I had. Sure it was stressful, hardwork, and sometimes just a plain old bore, but I learned a lot from the people I worked with, and I'm sure they've learned something from me... I can't wait until September when I return.
I saw someone today in one of my sessions wearing a Cedar Point work jacket, and it reminded me of how I took soo much pride in working at Geauga Lake that I had to wear my jacket wherever I went. I still have pride in Geauga Lake. I brought my Geauga Lake Stadium blanket, and Employee Yearbook from last year. Even if I can't be with my friends at work in person, I can be there in spirit, and I hope that I did leave a GOOD lasting impression this year, and that if I decide to return next year (who am I kidding, everyone knows I'll be coming back) I want to keep that pride and passion for working. I don't care where I work, I'm there to do a job, and do the job to the best of my abiltiy. I may have had some issues this year, but make no mistake, if(when) I return, I'll be all the much stronger because I've learned from my mistakes. No going into detail, their done and over with time to move on, time to become a better person. Also I want to work at Cedar Point from Sept. to Oct. but someone advised me against it, because it's different than Geauga Lake. I want to go see just how different it really is...who knows I might like it more there or I just might plain HATE it.
Anyhow I'm going to go find something to do. If you want my room phone or address just leave me a comment and I'll get back to you.
Love you all always,
Ellen
P.S. I found out that Chris is going to Kent not BG...sigh...oh well the distance was never a factor before and it shouldn't be now.
P.P.S. I also heard there was a rumor going around Geauga Lake that I was PREGNANT?!?!? How in the hell is that possible if a)I only see Chris at work, b)I worked all the time, c)When I was done with work I went straight home and went to bed? Anyhow it's not true at all, If it was I wouldn't deny it, because I do want to have a family. Just not right now, Collge, Marraige, Job(Career), Family...that's the order of my goals and aspirations.
