Today, something fantastic happened. I struggled in ENG 105 going between 6/10's and 10/10's on my quizes. So what did I do? I studied my ass off and broke the chain. Is that really that bad ass? Maybe not, but every once in a while it's good to recognize that hard work really does pay off.
Went to an environmental internsthip faire today as well (unfortunatly most "environmenal engineering" is still uber limited to...SEWAGE!) got a few names, dropped a few resumes. It felt good walking in there realizing I was more prepared that anyone else, I was very dressed well (2 inch heel's and all), had a pen and notepad in my hand, and resume ready. Doesn't anyone know how to find a job these days? Just felt good to know that--presentation wise--I'm quite hirable.
I guess today was just a nice ego buster. Sometimes you need one! I mean, school really attempts to kill whatever thought you had that you were actually intelligent. After this long strugle it's nice to know that I'll have a nice cozy job that'll allow me to never have to worry about food and shelter again (under normal circumstances anyway) and that my retirement (if I save like a smart person) will pretty much be set. Then I can stop worrying about my education/income and start building my dreams: traveling the world! Oh...and maybe a rocket while I'm at it...he..he..he... That is...of course, before I realize how much it sucks to work and I'll be crawling back to grad school! Unfortunatly, you can't stay there forever!
