decisions, decisions

well, i've made a pretty huge decision.

i quit my job & i'm moving back home. i'm excited, worried, nervous, regretful & happy all at the same time. it means that i have a chance to reconnect with old friends & make new ones. it means i won't have to pay rent for a month (or two, or three). it means that i'll be close to my family. and it means i'm taking a pretty huge chance.

the good news is that my interview last week was successful. they want a second interview as soon as i'm back home and settled in. the scary news is that in two weeks i have no income. yikes!

i think i've got it pretty much figured out. i'm going to take these next two weeks & enjoy them with scott, first of all. our relationship is going to go through a pretty huge change, but i think in the long run, it'll be for the best. he's so busy with school & working 2 jobs that we don't really see each other until midnight or later anyway....and by then we're both tired & cranky and not getting in a whole lot of quality time. after he graduates, he'll probably move in with his dad - which is good because six months later he's moving to denver, north carolina or chicago. they deserve quality time as well!

then, i'll move home. i'll apply to work at my favorite childhood restaurant as well as some other new ones. i might apply at some downtown retail stores - but that could be too tempting. chances are i'll need more than one job to keep me busy. i'm so excited about making new friends at a new place. i just think it's going to feel so good to go home.

at the end of october i'll return to columbia for homecoming & to officially get out of my apartment. i'll need a uhaul, for sure. i am especially excited to shower in a bathtub that isn't peeling. :) i'll officially say goodbye to the place that i've called home for the past four years & to my friends that have been a huge support to me.

this weekend i'm going to spend quality time with one of my best friends, jess. it'll be the last friday night of fun for a while - and we have had some CRAZY times since we met freshman year. then tomorrow i'll be at the roots 'n blues 'n bbq festival this weekend with jeremy. saturday night i'll be watching the hawks beat the pants of of penn state. and sunday i have got to clean my apartment & work on my budget.

i apologize for the lack of posts that are exciting the last few weeks. it's been rough around here. i promise to post some pictures & new designs soon as well as update you on the progress of my personal business venture!
