(no subject)
Went out with Monique and the boys last night (Larry, Brian, Drew, Chris). Chris' brother Mike was there, too, but he was a bit of a bore.
Went to two house parties. Stayed out until 3, partied back at Monique's until 5, didn't go to bed until 6ish. Woke up at 10:30am. Five of us had fallen asleep on the futon/coffee table. I went home with intentions of taking a nap, but instead decided to be productive and plan my life.
Last night, Monique suggested (in the event she goes) that I join her in Chicago while she attends grad school. I've been debating for awhile about what I was going to do and where I was going to do. I want to get out of East Lansing, but I have nothing pulling me elsewhere. Chicago's got great job opportunities, and will be a nice change of scenery from Michigan. I just never pictured myself as a city girl, but I think it might be just what I need.
With that said, I now have to plan graduation for May. (7 months away?) Scary thought, but I think I just need to stop hesitating/procrastinating. Sooner or later I'll have to get up and go, and when better when a good friend can be there?
I'm not looking forward to leaving all my other good friends behind. But I need to realize that chances are a lot of people are going to go separate ways. It's sad. Really sad. I'm probably going to be an official 'grownup' in less than a year.
What am I going to do in Chicago? Full time job- insurance, or financial analyst/adviser/planner. Maybe take real estate courses, maybe just work a year or two to pay off loans before going back to grad school for either economics, public policy, business, environment, or real estate. I'll decide what I want to do long-term after I land a short-term job. Until then, it's doing all the things I don't want to do (the reason I procrastinated in the first place)- career fairs, ass-kissing, advising appointments, and who knows what else...
After some life planning I decided to sleep. It was noon. Monique called before my head hit the pillow. We went out to breakfast to reminisce about the evening. Then we went to Halloween USA to see if they had the costume I wanted. No luck, so I ordered it online. It'll be here by Wednesday or Thursday (hopefully) and I'm super excited. So long as it fits.
Huh. Well I'm here at work for another 2 hours. There's NOTHING to do. Lock doors, and put a few signs up. I SHOULD be studying, but I'm oh-so-tired.
