Long Line of Cars

So, I'm going to start preparing for college over the next several months. Financial aid forms, applications, meetings with career counselors at the Job Link... I'm gonna get it all done. I said to my supervisor yesterday, "It's not that I don't like you guys, or that I hate my job- It just doesn't fulfill me. As I grow up, I'm realizing how important it is that a job is more than just a paycheck." Working at the casino, it's just a way to pay the bills. It doesn't make me happy, it doesn't represent all that I am capable of, and at the end of each night, I'm the same person I was when I woke up that morning. There's no evolution, no learning. I want to be more than that.

I need to do a bit more research, but I've narrowed the list of "Things I Want to Be When I Grow Up" down to two: Elementary school teacher, or veterinarian. I like kids, I like animals, and everybody else can take a leap.

So, the vacation-jar is now the college-jar, and I'm making plans. I'm making plans.
