Well, as my first quarter at RIT comes to an end and I make my first blog post here on blogspot, a lot of thoughts have been running through my mind lately. Today is November 23, 2010. I have officially been on my own for three months and two days. Other than Basic Training and AIT, which I don't count because so many others were in the same boat as me and we weren't really free. Our every move was governed by Drill Sergeants. However, now I am responsible for everything and everything I do is based on my own decision. I've got bills; car payment, car insurance, rent, cell phone, credit card. I have to work a lot to make ends meet. School takes up all of my time. Sometimes I wonder how I am going to make it to payday to get food or to pay the next bill. But I always do, and that's the important thing. Despite all of my financial worries, I have never felt happier to be where I am at. I finally feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I have the best of friends that I keep in touch with, though not nearly as often as I should. I have made some great friends at RIT and at work. I am a working college student who absolutely loves her job. How many other college students can say that? Yes, I am going to school to get myself a better job in the future, but damn I enjoy my current job. I couldn't ask for better coworkers than the ones I have now. It really is amaazing the difference between my old store and my current store, both the same company.
Now I am at Thanksgiving break and working overtime this week. Next week starts my second quarter at RIT, and I can't wait to get started. It promises to be another challenge with 20 credits and Arabic, but as always I am up for the challenge. I can't wait to get started and continue this ride. I am enjoying life to the fullest, even if I do work all the time, and I look forward to seeing where I am headed on this ride called life.
Side note: That last sentence was so cliche, but I guess it works. I have taken a new perspective for life, and I am jsut going to roll with it and let it go where it wants to take me. I may help it along some paths, but I am going to make sure that I enjoy every day and live life to the fullest.
