Update for Ms. Weir
Kathleen asked that I give an update, so I shall. Ask and ye shall receive, hehe.
Well, things are basically pretty much day to day the same. Such happens when you are a working lady. Some things are going very well at work and there are some others that are driving me up the wall. Its a day to day issue of how I like my co-op. However, I am going to begin to take a more proactive role in fixing those things that drive me up the wall. A girl I know a bit from school (we both worked at housing ops)just started her co-op down at McNeil. We don't know each other that well- but hopefully I'll have someone to hang out with a bit. We're going out to dinner tommorow night.
I love being 21. I am such a sucker for happy hour.
Oh yeah, The Netherlands was awesome. It was a great experience. Going to Amsterdam and seeing the red light district was one of the most bizzarely fascinating things I've ever seen. Not to mention walking past the "coffeeshops" and seeing people smoking weed every which way. Well, really smelling it everywhere more than anything. Honestly, my favorite part of the whole thing was flying first class. That was quite the experience. They let you drink as much as you want, a four course meal, you get your own tv.. the hot towel thing is a little weird but by the end I was all about it! There are definitely some bigtime perks about corporate america. I have some internal conflicts with it all. I guess the most important part is that I'm having an opportunity to experience this to even have the chance to see how I feel about it.
What else... I miss school. I always thought I didn't like RIT but now that I'm away from there, there are little things that I miss a lot. Mostly my friends, but also familiar things like The Distillery, Jay's Diner, or the Quarter Mile even. I'm kind of jealous of everyone gearing up to go back. I'm glad I'm having this opportunity and then I also get to go back for another year, I think that now I really will make the most of it. I think I'm going to live at the RIT INN when I go back in the winter. I have to take 18 credits every quarter next year, and two classes with the most notoriously difficult prof at the college of business. Not only am I not going to have time to work, but I really want to make things easy for myself. I think Im going to be able to save up at least $2000, which should be enough to tide me through the year, especially if my internet etc. is taken care of beacuse of on-campus housing. Plus, I dont want to sign a lease again. I'm working enough now, I dont want to drive myself crazy all during the year.
...Especially since I'm going to need to be travelling constantly on weekends to get down here to see Bobeeno. It is such a weird feeling because I want to go back to school, but then I'm going to have to live apart from him for 9 months. It will be just fine and we'll get through it. We are so lucky to get to spend these six months together- it is just great to spend my evenings with him. I love him so much.
OK- things. This weekend I'm heading up to Albany for the Casefaces' bday bash. Next weekend my family is converging here in Philly to come hang out with me. Britt is staying with us and my parents are staying across the street at a hotel. Should be fun.
OK gotta run along to a dinner with my whole department from work. MM, free food, good. Worky-awkwardness, boo.
