Unemployed and the Future

Tuesday was my last day of baking. I left with many mixed feelings. I truly love my job. However, the hours were killing me, my relationship with my friends, my school work, etc. My grades were seriously hurting, and these week I've completely rocked all of my tests as of late. I also started working out again! (which actually didn't last too long, as I've become rathere ill, but am feeling much better). I also am really going to miss my work friends and the free food. So, the plan is to remain unemployed until summer comes so I can finish off the semester strong. Do not worry though, despite the poor, young, married, student persona, we will surely have enough money to get us through until May, and then some.

As for plans for the future....
It has recently dawned on me that I am graduating in a year from now. I just realized I could do it! I don't know how it happened. For almost my entire college career I thought I'd have to do at least one extra semester in order to graduate on time, and I don't. I am, however, doing one summer semester this coming summer, but I'm only taking two classes. I'm opting to do this so as to not cram every cass I need into my last two semesters. When I first realized I was graduating next spring I became incredibly excited. However, now that I've been thinking about it the past few days, I'm almost disapointed. There are so many more classes that I want to take that I'm not going to be able to. There are classes in my major and minor like Neglect and Abuse, Adolesence, Health Psychology, to name a few. There are also classes that have nothing to do with my major, such as, Greek History, Perspectives in Literature, Child Literature, Sculpting, Painting...to name a few. I also really want to learn Spanish, but Jayson can help me with that. Don't get me wrong, I've taken many classes that didn't have to do with my major so I could get a lot of different things out of my education. So, now, I have come to a cross roads. Part of me so badly want to be done with college, and it's very thrilling that I'm finally graduating...and on time! Another part of me is being persuaded to just stay for one more semester and take some more great classes. What to do, what to do.

One thing that is for sure, I am so excited for the upcoming summer. Even though I'll be in school and most likely working part time, the summer is sure to be full of sunshine, great friend time, and some great family trips.

Yay! Congrats on graduation! I am so proud! I know what you mean about the extra classes that could be a lot of fun!

I hear ya sistah. I will also be graduating next spring, with no real idea what I want to do after that. I don't even know where we'll live, which is scary. But...as you are often known to say, time will reveal all.

It's weird when you realize that you'll be graduating. I did that this week too. I'm glad you'll be less busy! When was the last time we just played??
