The beginning of one chapter, the closing of another

So today I started my new job!! : > I really like it!  The girls that work in the office are really nice, I really like them all so far! I have my own desk and cubicle and I can decorate it any way I want! AAHHH! I am so excited about that haha, I went to Target today and got some cute tacks to hang some pictures.  I still need to get a pencil holder, a cute stapler, some picture frames, and a calendar.  I was planning on putting up some cute zombie pics since I really like zombies, but I found out the girl next to me is really afraid of them so I guess I am going to hold off on that.  I am exhausted though! And I'm dreading tomorrow because I have to work both jobs tomorrow because my last day at Outback isn't until next week.  I'll have to take some pics of my desk after it has been completed and let you guys see it.

Sorry I didn't post any pics of the super awesome bookcase last night, but I will say this it is over 6 feet tall and has 6 shelves and I have filled it up, plus my other book case that has 3 shelves is full! I am going to have to start reading on my Kindle more!

I am pretty excited about Thursday because my best friend is going to be moving to Little Rock, which is about 20 miles away from where I live so I'll have an awesome and familiar face around! I'm going to stop by her house Thursday after work.  I also have all day Monday off, the office will be closed because it is Memorial day and I wasn't scheduled to work at Outback so I have the whole day to do whatever I want, which will probably turn into cleaning, blogging, and reading.  But those things are okay with me!

Woo! I am beat guys! I guess I am going to get off of here because I have a huge day ahead of me tomorrow and I need to get some sleep!

Blerg!!!!!

Oh.My.Jeez!!! I have had an awesome day so far and it's only two in the afternoon! For starters my super awesome padre brought up this rad oak book case because my books are beginning to overtake the floor of my bedroom (pics will be posted tonight!!) Then I received an email from this place I interviewed at Friday and . . . I got the job!! I am so excited because I will be able to have nights and weekends off and still make the amount of money that I need to sustain myself financially.  I'm having a good hair day and all is well my friends! Pics of the book case will be posted tonight and pics of a dress I found that I want to get myself for getting my first post-college grad job! I am about to head out to go get some awesome raspberry tea from my favorite coffee shop here in Conway, then head to work where I have to do the dreaded task of putting my notice in : / However, if that is the worst part of my day then I will take it!

Adios amigos!

This next year...

So it is now the end of May and I have graduated from HSU with my Bachelor's! I have interviewed for two jobs so far and I find out tomorrow about one of the jobs.  I really hope I get the job because the people that work for this certain company are super rad and awesome and I would love to start my professional career out working for people who are super cool! I also really hope that I get the job because I have been waiting tables for four years now and it is way past my time to quit that type of work! I have met some awesome people along the way, but I'm ready to move on.

As far as life plans go. . . I really haven't been able to solidify any plans yet.  I am torn between doing what I know is sensible and what will provide me with job security and financial security and something that is going to be really fun and super awesome.  I would really like to open a bookstore/cupcake shop, but during these crazy economic times, opening a business in Arkansas seems to be quite risky.  I have also invested a lot of time into my law school application and feel like going on ahead and getting my law degree will be the best option for me. I mean having my law degree and then opening a bookstore/cupcake shop would be better than not getting it and always wondering "what if?"

I need to just take this one day at a time and really think about what I would like to do and what would make me the happiest, I only have one life and I don't want to spend it miserable and full of always wondering "what if?"

This next year will be the first year in almost 17 years that I will not be enrolled in school! It's exciting, but also very discomforting because I will be straying from the norm.  There will be no buying school supplies in August, no moving into a gross dorm room, no Christmas break, no more classes, or lunch breaks!  I guess I need to plan out some goals for this next year in order to kind of keep my life on track.

My goals are as follows, but are not limited to:
1.) Kick my law school entrance exam's ass
2.) Finish the Harry Potter series
3.) Obtain employment that doesn't involve taking orders or refilling anyone's drink
4.) Start my wedding fund and decide on a date
5.) Get super good at making awesome cupcakes
6.) Spend more time with my sisters
7.) Get accepted into law school

I guess that's it for now! Until next time!
