I know. It's been a while. The past few months have been torturous to say the least. Many times, I had a Zoolander "Who am I?" moment and still struggle being away from "real life", while still having to deal with the family issues and decision-making power that a head-of-household has, in addition to school.
In the past few months I have learned that:
1. I am my parents' daughter, first and foremost. I am the eldest child. I am part of a close-knit family that I can never escape, regardless of distance. Whether I want them or not, family-affecting decisions are my burden alone.
2. I have the greatest friends in the world. They know the struggle, and I know, if push comes to shove, they will to be there scheming with me as if we're back to being young and carefree. (They are also the reason why I was so tired from my Spring Break... too much fun... great talks... too many laughs.)
3. My mentors (back home & here in the Midwest) are awesome. I got lucky in this regard. They want me to succeed just as much as my friends do.
4. The Midwest isn't so bad. You just gotta get used to it.
5. I have learned that I have to do business with the personality that I have--being obnoxiously loud is not how I related to my clients pre-B school, it doesn't have to be how I relate to clients now. Being sincere goes a long way.
So a rundown of the random things currently in my mind:
1. Baseball. Yep. Said it.
2. My godbaby will be 6 months in a couple of days.
3. A lot my friends/cousins/classmates are getting married, and therefore, I need fancy clothes. And shoes.
4. I need a job. Loans, bleh.
5. The weather here is more fickle than the weather back home.
6. I don't enjoy SBTB as much as I used to (particularly Screech and Slater... was Screech always so stalker-ish and was Slater always such a douche?). It makes me very sad.
Fin.
