Ooooh I am blogging at work!
I feel so naughty blogging at work, but alas it is dead here on a sunday morning so I wanted to do something to entertain myself. So the newest development in my life looks to be the possibility of me working 3 part time jobs when i graduate. I am very much ok with this because weirdly enough the scheduling would allow me some flexibility. I would be working at just local food a shift or two each week. I would also be working at mega around 2 shifts a week and then finally I would, if all goes as planned, be working at the Eau Claire Small Business Development Corporation around 12-15 hours each week, which would solidify me working like 50 hours a week, which would be fine by me because it would mean more money for me. I am just waiting to hear the final word from Jim who is in charge of the SBDC. Everyone cross your fingers for me because it would be very good experience in the field in which I am currently hoping to work.
On friday I gave my final presentation which went fairly well, it wasnt perfect, but it could have been much worse. It was nice to have my dad come over and met some of my professors and talk to some of the people who I worked with in the Entrpreneurship program. I liked having the professors saying great things about me to my father it really made me feel good, but of course the one person who did not say all that much nice stuff about me was Dr. Hughes the person in charge of the program. I really think he despises all of us students just because he can. I mean he spent a lot of time with us over the past year, yet when we were receiving our certificates he read a sheet that each of us had written about ourselves more than a year ago. I mean couldnt he make it a little personal? And I mean all he really did was mok each of us anyway. I was just dissappointed in that. He knows us by now so he should have been able to say something. I guess I should be happy I only have to endure him one more time.
There have been some pauses in here to help customers, because I dont want to be a careless worker, now I need to get in the same train of thought that I was in before.
It is now less than a week away from graduation. I am definitely excited for it. It is a big moment in my life, but at the same time I feel that I let myself slack a little bit too much during college. I did what I needed to get by and get decent grades. My grades in upper level classes are definitely noticably higher than they were in my general ed classes. I was more interested in those classes and I just cared more about school then too. My first year to say the least was rough. My depression was getting the better of me, but I started to gain more control as time has gone on. I am right now in control of my depression, and I bet if I didnt tell people about it very few would guess that I was depressed. That is probably my proudest accomplishment in my life. I am so glad that I can stop that from controling my life like it used to. I am now able to see things in a much happier light muh more of the time. :)
Another accomplishment of mine is making it through college without drinking. There are many reasons that I chose to not drink at all, I guess this is a good time to get into that. The first and probably most important reason I dont drink is because of my depression. Lets see a depressed person inbibing a depressant, thats always a good combination. I also dont drink because I have trouble limiting myself when it comes to food and drink, I just figure its easiest to limit it when its eliminated completely. My third reason is that I never once had the inclination to drink. I hve more than enough fun just being me every day. I dont need any sort of substance to assist in me feeling well. I learned this from my anti depressants. I can feel great without anything even if it is uppers. I never felt all that amazing with my antidepressants, I just felt less down. My final reason is going to seem kind of weird to people but it was important to me. My sophomore year in high school after practice we were asked to make pledges not to drink or do drugs so that we would not get suspended from the team. Some people didnt see this as important, but I was making this oath to Mark Setterstrom, who is not a player in the NFL for the rams. It was huge to me I said that I would not drink until I graduate from college. I know it is weird, but I really took that to heart. I hope this gives people a little bit of a view into my decision. I mean I am very happy with it. I never gave in once. I still have nothing wrong with people drinking as long as they are responsible.
I was glancing through rolling stone last night at mega, because it really is one of the few magazines that I will read there. My favorite album this year was ranked as the 4th best album by rolling stone. That was really cool in my mind because no one else i really know listens to them. I dont really listen to music that is popular at all so this is another reason that I was impressed by this.
Well I should be wrappying this up now.
I hope you liked the latest glimpse into my mind.
