So this summer has definately been different than any other of my life. I feel like I have been given an unexpected and very rude awakening into the world of adulthood. I started my job at CVS, and while I do love it, it's definately very different from being the lifeguard I'm used to being. I came home my first 8 hour day and thought my feet and lower back were just going to fall off. There are some positives: I love to dress up everyday and I have been working on building my business casual wardrobe :P I also love feeling important. I know for sure now that Pharmacy is what I want to do. I've still got a long way to go though. Organic chemistry is really giving me a run for my money, and speaking of which, it's the reason i'm awake right now. I've been re-watching the lectures online. The first exam really gave me a reality check, and I'm now determined this class will not get the best me. Jordan living in Morgantown this summer has also been very weird. Maria and I also seem to always be on opposite schedules. I wish I could just call them up like last year and say let's go to the mall or to the pool. It's sad, but it's life. People grow up and have to go different directions for a while. My aunt had her fourth brain surgery last month, and her recovery has been very long. However, she is set to come home on Wednesday and things are looking up for her. I'm very happy with my decision to move back home. I just love my family. My mom, dad, sister, and grandparents just make my life. Things will Tommy are excellant, as always. HE GOT ACCEPTED TO UC'S PHARMACY SCHOOL ON JUNE 8TH (his birthday)!!! I sobbed like a little baby. No one deserves to succeed more than him, I honestly believe that. While things between us are great, are conflicting schedules have not been so great. We're both working and we're both in summer classes. The current typical weekday consists of him going to class 8-12, me going to work 12-5, then him going to work 5-9. I see him from about 9:30-11, which is soo hard. I'm used to spending every waking minutes with him at Marshall or at Dunbar Pool. We're making it though, it's all for the greater good. :) With my schedule these days, it's been very easy to get overwhelmed and completely stressed out. I've had days where I thought I just wasn't going to make it. I think it's just all this change at one time.. I've never been much for change, I like things to stay the same. I'm just trying to take one day at a time, and stop wishing away life. I have to remind myself that my life is happening right now, not tomorrow and not in 5 years. God has blessed me in so many ways and I thank him for it every single night. <3
