it's been a long time
Wow, I haven't written in here...well, let's just say I'm surprised they haven't canceled my membership. I still read Sara's entries sometimes and I'm always amazed that she still takes time to write in here. I'm glad you do, Sara...it's a little link to your life which is taking place far away from me.
Quick update: After graduating from William Jewell College last May with a useless degree in "Fine Arts" I immediately began working as a cafe girl at Barnes & Noble. That was my summer job until my aunt offered me a job with her million dollar company as manager of Victorian Trading Company Store and Parlour Tea Room. It has been a job full of endless grown-up responsibilities and snobby rich ladies. I make a lot of money and I'm getting great experience being the "boss" and all. I have liked it at times. The ladies that work for me are absolutely wonderful. BUT...I'm unhappy. I don't enjoy being the one in charge. I'd rather make minor ducats and have someone else tell me what to do. That seems absurd. And that's why I have continued to work there. Every time I verbalize (or put on paper...or computer) the statement made two sentences ago, I realize how ridiculous that is and I talk myself into staying where I am in life.
But now, life will not allow me to stay where I am. My lease is running up and I will soon be moving to Lawrence. I had a meeting with the owners and CFO of the company and realized that I am not cut out for this job. So all the sudden, after being so stable in life, I'm back to where I was a year ago. Looking for a job and a place to live.
So it goes. The life of a young, single woman is adventurous and scary. That's how it should be. And although I am terrified, I'm glad that that is my life.
Peace out for now. Don't know when I'll be back. Perhaps in another transitional period of my life.
