This is why we don't have nice things
So, here we are. Senior year. I believe I started this journal during my freshman year. And here I am, almost done with college.
I worked all summer. They then promoted me to part-time employee from lowly intern. Yesterday was a hectic day when I really finally proved myself to them after 4 months. I mean, I had before but yesterday, I cranked it out, kicked ass, took some names, and really proved to them that I'm awesome. Kyle took me to lunch to thank me for it today. We had a nice, hour and a half long lunch. My bosses are really great people.
Anyway, what I really learned yesterday was just how much like my mother I have come to be. Most people say "oh my God, I don't want to be like my mother," but I'm not seeing this as a bad thing. In fact, it's one of the most admirable traits my mother has: the ability to stay calm in a hectic, frazzled situation. Usually, I'm the one freaking out and my mom is telling me to take a deep breath, think it through for a minute, and then act. Yesterday, I was the cool, calm and collected one in the office. It's nice to know I have picked up on my mother's best trait.
School is hectic and days are long, especially when coupled with working 9-5 three days a week and running Phi Chi Theta on my own.
As are applying for jobs. Stressful. I'm about to join the real world. I mean, I definitely feel that I've been in the real world since I got to New York, there's no choice, you're thrown into it here. But the world of bills and taxes and rent and work. And who knows where I will end up. I certainly don't. I could be anywhere a year from now.
In other news, I am not dating. I know, I know. It's a shock. I've had enough of the drama and the crap that one relationship has caused me and I need some time to really pick up the pieces of the things that he broke and the parts that I broke myself in the process. And it's not fair to myself or anyone else to get into something when I'm not quite whole on my own at the moment.
Hopefully, I'll have some interviews coming up in October, along with my birthday (turning 22! Holy crap!), and getting home to see one of my brother's halftime shows because I have yet to see one in the three years he's been doing this and I owe it to him to see at least one show.
Anyway, I'm going back into LJ retirement, probably for another 20 weeks, as it was between updates. Peace out kids
