#483--Being an adult.
Managed to be an adult today and formally put in my two-weeks notice into work. Boss ladies weren't exactly thrilled with my decision to leave, but understood that I need to take care of myself. There is a lot going wrong with that store, and while I didn't cite specific reasons why I decided to quit, I did tell them that the last month was exceptionally rough on me and I had had enough. So my last day is next Saturday (the 7th). I'll probably be more upset closer to time, but I can't get over how relieved I feel now that I only have two weeks of obligations left. I feel the best I have in months, so I know this is the right choice. :)
That does leave what I'm planning on doing now. I did come to the decision on my own, but I am moving back home to my parents. It's not exactly ideal, but it's not permanent either. I talked it over with Mom last night and I do plan on taking a month off just to de-stress and actually relax for once because I haven't had a chance to since I graduated. After that I do plan on keeping track and seeing when Greenville county starts to hire subs. If they're hiring after the month, awesome. If not, then I'll start looking for other work either in the form of another part-time job or just volunteering in schools. I'm also floating around the idea of applying for JET, because the dream job is to teach abroad. Also grad school.
We'll just have to wait and see, but for right now I'm just going to enjoy feeling the weight coming off my shoulders.
