Do you ever feel like you over book your schedule? I never thought I did before. It seemed like I always had time. But now I catch myself volunteering to do things when I already have absolutely no time. It seemed to get better for a while when my hours at the bakery got reduced drastically. But then I got paired with this kid in one of my classes for a HUGE project that is due at the end of the semester. And by HUGE, I mean HUGE!!!! As in place of final exam huge. And I get stuck with this guy who does absolutely no work. We're halfway through the project and we've already had to turn in 2 reports out of a total 4 and he has done absolutely nothing to contribute. So after 6 weeks, I finally talked my teacher into letting me do my project by myself, and starting completely over to top it off. (Actually I'm pretty sure he felt bad for me because he even gave me extra time to turn in report 3...I like nice teachers :) ) So now I'm using all the free time that I had gotten off of work to work on the project while also working for my parents and fitting in some normal homework in between there somewhere also. Oh joy.
And now for a HUGE announcement. Ok wait... this needs a HUGE!!!! huge...
I'm am looking to move to Chicago within the near future. And within the near future is meaning somewhere within the time frame of 6 to 12 months. (Eeeeep!!!) I'm kinda super duper very much excited about this! I'm going to do my internship there (when I get it, of course) and then when I've graduated with my shiny Culinary Art degree, I'm going to permanently live there.
This all came about this last week. Life is crazy sometimes. God has an interesting plan for my life I've come to discover.
And even better, I was talking to one of my best friends about it, you know, just throwing things around a bit (I wasn't really sold on the idea yet) and when I told her she jokingly said something along the lines of, "Hey, I should go with you!" ...and then it kind of snowballed from there. And now it looks like we are both moving there, her in the medical administrative field and me in the culinary field.
I'm super happy right now. :D
