Life is crazy.
Between my two jobs, i'm getting payed really well.
Sunflower is giving me a steady 24 hours a week, with a set schedule, and a sense of regularity. I was so worried that I since I worked at the vet clinic for so long, with really awesome people, I would be dissappointed. However, the people at Sunflower have exceeded my expectations. Especially hot boy. Let's not lie....I like to check him out.
The vet clinic has been awesome too....I'm getting about 20 hours a week there. Super sweet. Of course, my co-workers at the hood vet rock. I'm actually burning some cd's for Cindy right now.
I really miss my friends, though. Desi is in California. Karin is over two hours away in a town I can't remember the name of. Maura is at camp. I'm not really allowed to see Maggie.Jenny, Alitha, and Kyle are constantly working. Evangeline, who is quickly becoming one of my best friends, is in Germany. My roomate Melissa Pender is also in Germany. Rosey-posey is as well. I really don't know what is going on with Ramon and Cody. :( Also, Dan seems to be avoiding me. :( Reid is in Alabama. It's just all so crazy. I really need to call Ramon, Cody, Astrid, Cerissa, David, Kelsey, Consuela, Lillian, Betsy, Jenny, Kyle, Savoth, Lorna, Whitney and Eric. You never realize how busy you get...until you think about how long it's been since you've seen the people that really matter to you.
I just turned 20, which boggles my mind. Sometimes I feel as though I should have accomplished so much more by this point. However, when I truly look at things, I see I am so much more ahead than I had ever planned to be. I am FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT. I have my own place, along with two jobs that I love. I have an amazing group of friends, who I really care about. I have been true to myself, and no one, no matter how hard they have tried, has been able to tear me down. I have my own car, my own place, my own bills, and my own extraordinary life. Heck, I even have a guinea pig and two cats that are entirely dependent upon me. This, all in all, is a great feeling. Sure, I have no idea what I want to do with my life, but even if I don't discover what I really want for my future by the time I graduate from college, I am working at two jobs that have loads of possibilities for the future. If I stick with the vet clinic, I can become a veterinary technician (which is what I think I really want to do), and if I stay at Sunflower (because of it's growing number of stores), I could have a management position within a few years (whcih pays rather well). So, I'm not too terribly worried.
I've also learned some things in my twenty years. The main thing is that people migth give me crap abouy my low self-confidence, but i've discovered that it's just misplaced; I don't need a lover to validate me. This might not make much sense to some people....but it really is an empowering thing.
That is all. If you read this all, you deserve a cookie.
