New Job...New School...New Year

I have been very comfortable in my position in the womens department at Wal mart. Everyone has been telling me I should apply for a department manager position for years now. I havent really been interested in taking on more responsibility. Last week two positions came available and everyone started guilting me into trying for them. I finally gave in and took the manager test (which I passed) and applied for the Department Manager of HBA position. I interviewed yesterday and got the job. Now I will be working primarily M-F from 8-5. I will have to do some overnights and 5-2 when new features come in or we have to set for different seasons. Best of all is a $1.10 raise and working the same schedule as Jacob! The more I thought about it after applying the more excited I got. Now I am really excited for the challenge and the change.

As for school...I applied to WSU. Whenever I would go to do the paperwork I needed for U of I to switch majors and get ready for next semester I would get a feeling of dread and put it off. When it came down to the deadline I got physically sick thinking about going back there. I really do not like the school and was not happy there at all. So I applied at WSU. We will see if I like it better. Jacob has filled me in on some of their requirements of all students. I will have to take two world history classes which I dont mind at all. And I will have to put together a writing portfolio which I really dont mind. I love writing. At U of I, I would have had to take a stupid computer class which requires you to make a web page and learn some basic programming. I am not into computers at all beyond getting the info I need and stalking my friends. If I ever need a webpage made, I will pay someone to do it. And I will never program anything. There were other things at U of I that I didnt like either. I feel much better now about my future and schooling. Hopefully this will work out for me or I will have to go with my back up plan of winning the lottery!!!
