Whew…
::Breath a HUGE sigh of relief::
Okay, so you are probably wondering what the heck I did that for but today was my last day at work! I gave my notice 3 weeks ago that I was going to be focusing on school full time. Now, I am going to have to still baby-sit and work at Sonic (I don’t think I mentioned I work at Sonic on the weekends. I only applied because it seemed like a lot of fun and it is. I get to talk to people. Although, it can be quite drama-filled working there. Just think a bunch of high school kids in a little space about the size if not smaller than a bedroom. It is hard to ignore them all sometimes…) but I thought about it a lot and I could not continue working part time at what I called my “real job.” Now Sonic and baby-sitting are pretty real jobs. They are stressful and time consuming but I called this my “real job” because it was (or had been until I went part time due to school and a graduate assistantship) an 8-5 desk job.
It was my first real job that I worked out of college. I am thankful for the experiences there but I learned that I do not like desk jobs, I do not like sitting behind a computer all day and there are some very hard to work with people out in the business world. I know it will be like that anywhere you go but when you work in a negative environment and are basically the only happy one, it gets kind of annoying. But my point is….. I’M DONE!! Now I just need to figure out what to do with the rest of my life….
Just kidding :) That is why I am back in school. I know what I want to do with the rest of my life. I want to be a teacher. I love children and I love teaching children. Some people may think I am crazy but to each his own, right? I am actually going baby-sitting in a little bit. I drove up to Nashville a little early because of the Friday traffic (don’t you love how traffic is always worse on Fridays?) and am now sitting in Panera eating my tuna on honey wheat typing on my blog. I think I am really getting the hang of this blog, now I just need to find people to read it.

I’m glad you’re going to become a teacher, you seem like the right kind of person we should have teaching our children. Have you read “The Courage to Teach”?
See ya!

If you’re not big on the drama at Sonic’s, have you thought of applying for part time weekends at Panera? I worked there for awhile, and it wasn’t bad. The people were great, and if you close, you get…wait for it…free bread and bagels!
