Well, the good news is....I found a job. Or I guess you can say that my brother helped me get a job at Waffle House as a waitress. I have spent the last three days training. And as far as jobs go, its pretty good. It's exhausting and I rarely have a free moment, but at least the time passes by quickly.
But, considering how out of shape I am (and the fact that I have spent the last two months doing hardly anything) my body is hurting today. I forgot how painful it could be to stay on my feet for seven hours straight, especially with the wrong kind of shoes. (my tennis shoes are worn out). I'm glad to have a job, and really shouldn't complain. I'm just SO exhausted.
Also, I registered for fall semester. I am going to be taking 12 hours and juggling tutorting, teaching, and hours at Waffle House. Which means, when fall comes around I will have absolutely no life. But, I guess thats what growing up is.....accepting responsibility and getting down to business.
If there is one thing I've learned throught the last three years its that nothing is free, and anything worth having takes hard work. Adulthood is not what it appeared to be when I was a teenager. I guess I expected life to become easier instead of difficult. But, my life is even more unpredictable and full of more expectations and repsonsibilities than ever before. In fact, the only thing that I can count on is that my bills will come at the same time every month.
But, I feel like I am making choices and decisions that are at least getting my train back on the track, I may not be moving at a steady pace yet, but I'm working on getting the engine started.

ahh adulthood. fantastic isn't it? i just love it!
i knew that it would be a lot like this growing up, but thats because i am a realist (more commonly known as a pessimist). And ya know what? my childhood sucked too so....
but i'm proud of you and happy for you. i miss you and dc.
Well, I am glad you got a job and I am beyond excited that you are going back to school because I know that is what you want. I have been a waitress before and I loved it. You will get used to standing on your feet and your body will get back in shape and stop hurting...well....mostly. :) You are a people person so I am sure you will like it. Those sound like some very good character building lessons you have learned. They will serve you well in the future I am sure.
