So... I'm not gonna lie, I am not really in the writing mood right now. But I haven't posted in quite awhile, so here I am. I thought I'd give you the low down on my life at the moment.
I am currently a college student working on my bachelor's degree in accounting. This however was not always the case. I had been in college for 3 and half years majoring in elementary education when I decided that teaching was not where I wanted to be. Don't get me wrong, I loved working with kids, but it was the parents and politics of it all that I couldn't see doing forever. Ick! I had also been working at a daycare for the last year, and it was good and all, but I got to come home to a house with no kids. And this is what I had decided in my mind, and it may not make sense to you, but it does to me. If I spent all day working with someone elses' kids, when I came home I wouldn't be able to enjoy my own kids as much(this is in future terms, I have 0 kids at the moment). So even though it was a big tough decision, it had to be done.
But after investing so much time and money into school I was definitely not leaving empty handed. I wanted to finish, but with what degree? I had always seen myself teaching or working with kids in some way. I had no idea where to go from here, but I was determined to figure it out quickly. I didn't want to take a semester off because I was already gonna be in school forever. So I went and saw a counselor who made me answer questions about myself, different jobs I have had, what I liked and disliked about them, and then he made me take some quizzes online. And after all that we landed on accounting. So I made the switch, and here I am, still in school. Of course zero education classes transfer to anything in accounting, so I was pretty much starting over. But oh well, at least I'll have a degree in something I'll enjoy and in a field that's always needed.
So anyway, ya, that was a long explanation.
I also have very recently acquired the best job ever. Yes, ever! I was working at the same daycare since I moved here 2 and a half years ago, but about a month ago I got a new job. I work at a 24 hr computer lab on campus. So I pretty much sit in front of computer and watch Netflix the whole time. Sometimes I do homework, or Facebook, or pretty freakin much anything I want. The only downside is that they only allow you to work 20 hours a week. It's not that bad though cause Mr. West works, and I was his sugar momma for awhile, he can make the bigger paycheck now. It don't bother me any!
I guess this turned into just a little bit more than my life at the moment, more like how I got to my life at the moment. But, oh well, it still works.
As you can see though... this is getting pretty long, so I will save the other half of our tale(his half) for a later date:)
