(no subject)
So I haven't written here in a long time.
I spent my summer doing a whole bunch of nothing. I went to New Orleans for a few days for the annual meeting for IFT (the Institute of Food Technologists) to present our product for the product development competition. It was a neat experience, but I wish I'd had more time to explore New Orleans while I was there. The best thing about it, I think, was the food.
Now I need to find a job. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I honestly miss food service. I miss the people. I kind of want to find myself back in a coffee-shop environment, so I'm considering going back to Panera, and I'm considering Starbucks. When I was thinking about this outloud, I kind of dismissed it with a, "but I should find a real job." Kevin said, "what's a 'real' job?"
I'm just afraid in order to start paying back loans I'm going to have to either 1. have two of the jobs mentioned (ie, starbucks and some other job), or 2. find a job that isn't food service, but pays better. like an office job or something.
I initially wanted to go out on my own, but I think mom really was making a good point, talking about how I should find a job close to home, to save up some money, before really going out on my own...
I just don't want to get trapped. I don't know.
