The Run Down
I feel like time is standing still. All I want is to get through the next month as fast as possible. I do not enjoy living in Grand Rapids anymore. It's just not my home. I was talking to my parents and they told me I have to learn to make where ever I live my home. Something is just missing inside of me.
On Monday, September 17th marks the end of the 3rd period here at work. This means that I have to do all the end of period reports, paperwork and analysis. I did this for the 2nd period for the first time, and it was sooooooooo time consuming, stressful, and difficult. This time it should go more smoothly since it's my second go at it but it still is in the back of my mind.
Sept. 14th I am volunteering with a girl named Katie I work with at a YMCA golf fund-raiser. I am still planning on doing the Juvenile Diabetes walk on Sept. 24...but I still have $95 to raise before I can participate.
I really want to come down and visit for the Notre Dame game on Oct. 1st and then Homecoming. I will definitely be there for homecoming, I have already talked to some of my sisters who are also planning on being there for the big day. I have to see how things are closer to those dates before I get excited.
This is going to sound silly and juvenile but I have been thinking a lot about opening up my own shoe store. I am starting to brainstorm preparations so I have as many options as possible in regards to my career. If I pursued grad. school in this area it would be communication or administration related. However, I want so badly to know more about business. I am thinking about getting another bachelors or even an associate's degree in business, just so I can expand my knowledge on the subject. Having my own little store would be perfect. I would be able to connect with people face to face again, while also choosing the brands and styles of shoes I want to carry depending on the location of the store. I would be the owner, manager and buyer. I am trying to brainstorm possible names....I don't want something lame like, "Megan's Shoes." That's certainly not exciting. There ya have it..my #1 half witted dream right now.
I have another idea too. I am thinking about teaching secondary education. This is a drastic change in my future plans for myself, but I don't mind the idea of it. This one is more unlikely than the shoe store idea though. I would like to teach civics, social studies, speech, or literature. I would obviously have to go back to school and uh...not work here. Who knows...
All these ideas are running through my head because of the following reasons: I am bored out of my mind, and I am not enjoying my position in life.
Last night I went to Schuler's Bookstore and read self-help books. If I bought all the books I saw that I wanted to read, I would be broke. I am going to continue to go over there since it's right across the street, it's free, and it takes up time.
On Wednesday I am going to talk to a counselor, therapist...I don't know what her title is. Her name is Katie and I like her. I told my mom I wanted to wait another week so I could think of what to say and she told me that I shouldn't think about what to say...and instead just let it out naturally. I will prolly just spend my session crying...and if you know me, when I cry I can barely talk. It's going to be weird, and I am not looking forward to it. I am hoping for a positive outcome though.
I wish I could just skip right over Labor Day weekend. It is going to be really hard for me. I am not going to Lafayette anymore.
It was 60 degrees yesterday which was a nice break from the sweltering heat and humidity. I love summer, but I am ready for it to be over. Hmmm Fall! Crisp air, sweatshirts, light jackets...leaves changing color...and ofcourse football and beer. I can't wait. :)
Oh yeah..one more thing. You guys will be so proud of me. I have been making real efforts in being more approachable and friendly. I have been going out of my way to talk to people at work...like Katie and just a little bit ago I introduced myself to this guy named Nate. I have been answering my phone when friends call...and I have been calling my friends. I actually triple booked myself for tonight by accident. I was supposed to eat dinner with my fam, hang out with Nikk for a bit before he leaves for school, and I told my friend Adam that I would go to The Bob with him and his friends tonight. I think I can do all three...it's jiggable.
