A Future With Plans

I was unsure for some time whether I would decide what to do after I graduated from University and set out into the 'working world.' First off, for me, I've been in the working world all my life. The only thing changing from my schedule of 16 hours of college classes and 30 hours working will be dropping the 16 hours and adding 10 more. I enjoy working and graduating is the only thing standing in my way to working...without school!

So, for my future, I have planned to head home for the summer and enjoy my family, baby calves, Wisconsin, and life. I will also try to squeeze in some overdue trips to visit friends. At the end of the summer in August I will head back to the wonderful Wisconsin State Fair and take position again at Gate 5 greeting those wonderful agriculture exhibitors! I just couldn't stay away!

And then for the big news, I officially will be heading down to live in San Antonio in the middle of August. I had an amazing roommate in Austria and I now get the chance to be roomies with her again! I have been thinking about what types of jobs I really want to have. I have decided I am truly looking forward to having a job at a coffee shop! I think the prospect of greeting 'regulars' every morning in a foreign to me city is just exciting!

I haven't figured out my plans for more than 8 months out, but I am sure I will find some new opportunities to explore and embark on many more adventures!

24 More Days

Is it sad that I just posted a countdown message six days ago and I feel like its been a lifetime? These last few weeks are just slowly sliding by like molasses. I guess I should be thankful that they are not flying by, because I still have plenty more to get done! However, I am so looking forward to the prospect of no more lecture halls, homework assignments, or lengthy exams requiring studying.

These last few weeks I am enjoying time with friends, checking out places of Manhattan I have yet to discover, and still working away every week.

The weather is definitely shaping up and its getting warmer and warmer everyday! Its almost too warm for me sometimes! But its nice for walks and bike rides!

Keep it real, ya'll -- :) --
