It's been quite awhile since I last posted... I'm back in school, I spent the summer working at Menards and playing with baby Chloe (who's now almost six months!!!). Bethel is great, I'm a junior (this semester is the 2nd half of Jr year for me) and am in a variety of classes-ie two history classes, Spanish and two freshmen classes that are mandatory to take for graduation. It's not bad, I love my two history classes although there are is a lot of writing for them. I'm supposed to be TAing, however the prof and I haven't managed to meet up yet-- conflicting schedules. :( I've seen Tim a few times, it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Its funny, part of me was dreading seeing him, but I'm feeling better about it. Mainly I suppose its because of my own confidence in myself. I'm no longer single because of him, but single because I don't want to be in a relationship right now. He seems happy, I am usually happy so its a good thing. I haven't really talked to him or anything, he waved hi a few times which was nice of him to do. Last April we talked after the break up for a few moments and I said I didn't want us to walk on egg shells around eachother or have to pretend the other didn't exist. So even though we don't talk, there's not too much anger there. Too much. :) Sometimes I feel angery/hurt, but like I said, usually I'm good. Work at Menards is fine. I'm beginning to get to know more of my co-workers on an outside of work basis as we've started to go out to Buffalo Wild Wings, etc. after we close some weeks. It's fun to be around them. At times though I really want to quit the actual job, there can be a lot of drama there and the managers aren't the greatest. It stinks at times when you're repeating yourself for the hundredth (literally!) time on why you can't work certain days or hours. Those people who want say thirty hours a week have a hard time getting 15. Those of us who have school and only want to work 15 are fighting to not be working 25-30 a week. It's frustrating. But even there it gives me a good reason to continue with my schooling. I've basically come to the conclusion that I will be going onto graduate school after I finish at Bethel. I think it will offer me more options, especially if I choose to get into research or writing (which with graduate school is almost a given). I just have to decide what area I want to focus on. Right now its very general, a little of everything. That's about it, I should finish studying for my history quiz in half an hour. But it's been great catching up. Hope you have a fantastic day!!! |
