Eep, I always have a time where I can't find anything to write about and now is one of those times. I always wish that my life was more exciting so people would read my blog and be all, "Holy cow, that is craziness!" Then again, I think I'd be much more tired than I already am if I had such an exciting life.
Some big news is that I was officially allowed back into school as a Monday. I went to meet with the associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at 9:00 AM. Scary man, I'm not sure I even caught his name because I was tired and a bit nervous. We pretty much talked about why I left school, what I've been doing since I left, and what I'm going to do differently this time around. So i guess I should put that out here, since I never did fully explain myself to anyone:
- I left school for a few reasons. Frankly, they didn't want me there. I never went to classes because they bored me and so I didn't do too hot. A lot of this had to do with the fact that my marketing major wasn't nearly as interesting as I thought it'd be. Also, my parents, whether they knew it or not, put a lot of pressure on me and rather than trying to come out on top I just let the pressure push me down. I feel like an idiot because I could have gone about this in a completely different way than I did and because of it I'm going to be a lot older than I want to be when I graduate college. Then again, I never was quite like everyone else.
- Since school I've been working full time, as everyone knows. I do like my job but I also don't like it. I think I work so much that I've forgotten about the important things about my job and that's sad. I've come to realize that a lot of the corporate people at Caribou are the same way. I mean seriously, do the guests really care if the light bulbs are dusted every day? No. They care whether or not I make them a perfect cappuccino. I'll be staying with Caribou when I go back to school (although I'll be transferring to a different store) but I definitely think I've been jaded.
- I really do think that after taking so much time off from school I'm ready to go back. I did this all on my own this time and I won't have my parents' financial backing. I like the feeling of being independant on this and that means I'm counting only on myself. I know what I want this time and life doesn't have me so confused this time. I want to do well, I want a degree and I'm doing this for me only, not for anyone else.
So there you have it.
I have some other good news too. We have a new kitty! Her name is Molly and she is BEAUTIFUL! We got her from Ellyn, the girl who moved into my old apartment in River Falls with Emalyn. Ellyn's boyfriend (or ex... I don't really know what they are to each other) didn't want Molly anymore and I didn't just want her to go to the Humane Society so we decided to take her. She's SO cute and she and Metro get along okay. Yesterday we took Molly to the vet to get fixed and to get her vaccinations. I figured she'd be out of it for awhile but after sleeping all day yesterday she is pretty much back to her old self. Amazing!
Also, I am planning a major girls weekend in June which I am SO excited for! We're going up my Mom and Dad's for the weekend and it's just going to be amazing! I've invited Amber, Elisa, Nina, Taryn and Jill. So it should be a pretty great time!
Anyway.... that's my update for now. More soon, I'm sure!
