I can’t believe it’s been over six months since I posted in my blog! I suck. So bad. I’m sorry to any readers out there who were wondering what the heck happened to me.
Not a whole lot has happened in the past six months, really. I did my internship at the accounting firm downtown (which was amazing), found out I wouldn’t be working full-time at my full-time job (which sucked), and became single again for the first time in a long time (which also sucked).
The internship was by far one of the greatest things I have done. Ever. It helped me to realize that even though I kind of pretty much hate learning about accounting in class, I really do like doing the work. I’m hoping it will make me a better student who might want to actually, oh, I don’t know, study. I know, right? Studying? While in college? What an unheard of concept! It’s just that school always came natural to me and I never had to work hard to get decent grades, so when I don’t understand a certain subject (such as the one I decided to major in) it’s really hard for me to hunker down and actually study. I need to, though. This is what I want to do, if not for the rest of my life, at least until I figure out what I do want to do when the rest of my life happens.
The worst part of my internship was finding out towards the end that my full-time job wouldn’t be able to give me full-time hours due to the suckiness of the economy. That and they decided to give all the hours to the students who all went away for school and aren’t studying pharmacy and will therefore never work in a pharmacy again when they graduate. Instead of giving them to me, who has been with the company for over seven years and at that particular pharmacy for two and does plan to work there some after I graduate. And who doesn’t live with mommy and daddy (OK, well, I kinda do, but really, she lives with me so it doesn’t count. Right?). And has had to make her own way in this world since she was 19 years old. So, now I’m torn between trying to find another job and trying to find a cosignor for a HUGE student loan so I can afford to live until I graduate next year. Both daunting and seemingly impossible tasks these days.
And the single thing? It happened. It sucked. I’m over it (not really, but I definitely don’t want to talk about it anymore). I’m trying to move on. Sometimes life just doesn’t turn out the way you planned.
I’m in summer classes right now. Intermediate Accounting I and Intro to Forensic Science. The science one is actually very interesting and I’m really enjoying it. The accounting not so much. I take it because I have to. It will totally be worth it some day.
Speaking of class…..I’m off to listen to the accounting one online some more. Saving grace is that at least I don’t have to sit in the class room. I can totally sit at home and watch it online! Yay!
