I never realized how much I absolutely had it made as a college student! I would take nights of cramming and last minute paper writing over the stress I have had in just the past few days! Wow! I envy the people that walk out of college with a job opportunity handed to them. Well they probably worked hard and didnt procrastinate like me right? Well I decided I would give myself to the first of the year to just relax and enjoy being done with school and then when the first came around I was going to start job searching. Well first thing to consider is where I do I want to drop resumes off at? Do I want to stay in GR or move some place else? Well in the past I have said I would stay in GR or move to a bigger city. Suddenly that idea has changed. Well over christmas my mom was putting the offer on the table that I could live in my grandmas house if I were to find a job up here. She kept mentioning it and saying that I would have my OWN house, and only have to pay utilities at first and eventually pay rent but it would be like maybe $100 a month if that. so I was like dang, that sounds so nice right now cuz I want to live alone so bad! I love GR but I have been here for 4 1/2 and I am getting a lil sick of it. So the past few weeks I have been contemplating if it would really satisfy me to move back to cadillac and work? I decided that I would put some resumes in around Cadillac and T.C. and see what happens. If I get an offer at least I know I have a place to live and if not, well I still have my house in GR til August. That was also another thing to think about...if I did move back to cadillac would I do it before August and if so would I try and find someone to take my place or just pay rent while I didnt live there?
So I came back to my parents for a few days to go up to TC and drop off some resumes and at one of the places the lady was looking for a group exercise instructor like asap and gave me all this information for these certification dates. So when I got home I decided that that was my next step, I needed to get certified in something so I would have a better chance of getting a job. So last night I frantically tried to find, online, certification dates and places within the next few months. Talk about expensive too!! I registered for 2 workshops and all together it was like $500! Thank God my parents offered to pay for $300 of it! And of course the only date that was within that time period falls on february 4-5, the weekend we were suppose to be going to Chicago for Kims bday. I am very sad about this bc we have been starting to plan for this trip and saving up and I was way excited. But I decided that Chicago would always be there and I NEEDED to take these exams instead. Maybe I can convince Kim to postpone her bday celebration one week for me?!?!?!?
As of right now, I have 2 resumes out in TC, about to drop one off in Cadillac and I have registered for a group exercise certification. Once I get that certification I can start looking for more specific certifications. Now I just need to get re-certified for CPR cuz that expired along time ago, ooops.
So life has been a lil hectic for me. I am sick of working at Logans...the restuarant business is kickign the shit out of me. And there is way too much damn drama! i want to get out of GR for a while bc if I stay there and all my friends are still in school it will not hit me that I need to grow up and get a real job. I will want to go out with my friends and have a part time job, which will not be good for me. So I thinking moving away will get me more focused.
Ok now that I have once again procrastinated beyond belief I have to go drop off a resume in town.
