I go to school, work, and sleep.
At least that's how life feels at the moment. I've been very distant from so many people, other than my family, and it's difficult to explain why. I don't want to be, and it's not anything against any one person. I think I've just needed a break from everything to focus on school and to take a step back and ask myself, "what am I really doing with my life?"
The answer, I have found, is not much. I started working at Panera Bread in June and I really like what I do. Recently, though, it has taken me away from my homework and test preparation and social life. I make decent money, and I have some great coworkers. I just need to breathe...
As for Portland State, I haven't done too hot on some of my most recent exams, which concerns me. I still have time to make up for the lack of studying but it might be too late. I've been so exhausted after working in the evening that I haven't had time to do any academic stuff; I just go to sleep.
There is some good news, though - it's the holidays. That means Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the fun stuff that comes with it. It will be different to an extent, being single and not having someone special to share it with, but I'll manage, I always do. I am anticipating what might happen in the future (a date??) possibly. One of my coworkers is trying to get one of his friends and myself to hang out and such. We might all do something soon.
I'm real nervous about that, only because it's been so long since I've done any dating (not a serious relationship). So I'm going to take it one step at a time and see what happens!
That's all for now. I'm glad our country seems to be heading in the right direction, although I think we're all waiting for January 20th to see what great words President Obama has to say! I'll request that day off, for sure.
