Another Day
It's another Sunday and I'm here working in Lane because I need money. I'm not complaining...its a job I only have to think about on Sundays and not even really then. I could work here in my sleep. Perfect job.
Tomorrow's monday and that means i have to go back to school. I'm trying not to think about it because I'm completely sick of school. I can't wait til Christmas. ONly then it's only a two week break but it's something. I'm starting to wonder how I'm gonna survive another year and a half of this. PT always seemed like such a good idea...end up with a good paying job helping people out. I still think it's sounds like a good idea but I'm beginning to wonder if I missed the boat somewhere too (I'm quoting Sarah Gross here and in science academia you must always site who you quote). I mean perhaps I should have been less worried about getting the training necessary it get a decent job and should have been more adventurous. At times I'm envious of my sister's friends. They get to work in the woods and serve coffee in the off season. Sounds just jolly to me. No professional groups to join, no endless classes and wasting time in those classes. I don't know. I'm at a rather low point here so clearly I'm probably not thinking all straight. But hey I'm in my mid-twenties and that's the time to go have adventures and such right? It's the one time in my life where I don't have any responsibilities and can afford to do things. And by afford I mean I don't have a husband, kids, or a house. In other words a perfect life for right now. Perfect besides the dreaded school.
OK now don't read this and think I'm a bum or anti-responsibility or anything like that. I'm just learning that life only happens once and every day only happens once and starting to wonder if maybe I'd like to be spending those days doing something else.
And to all you seniors (and sophomores and freshman)...don't worry about making money. It'll come when you need it. Think about doing something you enjoy instead. Or just working a job to have a little money and spending the rest of your time doing things you love. It's something I wish I'd thought of before now.
