So This Is Life?

Well, as we all know things change when we are done with school and are shoved towards what people call the "real life" of jobs and careers and having babies and everything else, such as bills, besides college loans. Well I'm just getting a taste of this life right now. I'm actually excited! Most of the time I don't see myself as an adult, in the sense of being "grown up." I usually see this as a problem or a bad way of thinking. Not to say that I feel I am inferior to everyone or I am incapable of doing things on my own. I actually think that it has to do with being treated like a child and not having a full transition of being treated like an adult. (Meaning I'm still treated like a child a lot of the time) So, lately I have studied for the GRE a good amount of time and finally took the test in mid-December, and soon after applied to nine graduate schools! I felt like that was enough especially when I found out how much I spent on the whole application process. (I'm not telling) Well sadly I am still waiting on a few of my recommendation letters to be sent in, but I'm hoping and praying that they are sent in on time, according to my deadline and the schools'. After all of this I started applying to jobs again as my main focus and now I have one job that I have interviewed twice and two other jobs that I am going to interview for. And I really need a job and want to make money again. My only dilemma is that I have an obligation to be at a wedding out of state that I have to go to since I am IN the wedding. I'm just hoping that this job will let me take time to attend this and still have a job to come back to once I am done with this. Kelly told me to just tell them up front when they offer me the job that I have a previous obligation in the end of March that I have to attend since it was scheduled before this job was offered to me. I'm just hoping that they understand and are willing to work with me during that week. But the one thing that I am really waiting on is my ticket out of my parents' house. This ticket is my acceptance into graduate school! I'm hoping that I will be accepted into one of these schools so that I can get a higher education and get a better job that pays more and has good benefits so that I can support myself and be happy! I really don't want to live with my parents for much longer and if I can get a good job then I wont have to. So the next few months will be waiting and trying to get a job of any sort so that I can save money and possibly get lasik eye surgery and a new mac computer!
