Here we go!

    Tomorrow I will take the first of several steps to have a better life. I suppose in a way, I've already done that, by choosing to attend college, but tomorrow is a fresh start, of sorts. It's my last day at a job I've been at for three years, as a receptionist for a law firm. To say the least, I've loved the place I'm at, but I've simply outgrown in, with graduation approaching (Sunday!), and the student loans to come soon, as well. I've also finally recently acquired my very own apartment, in which I'll be moving into September 1st! I cannot wait! With so many changes approaching, I thought it was time to look for a new job, as I just got back a couple weeks ago from Luminosity Beach Festival in Amsterdam.

     After emailing Beacon Staffing in Chicago, and a slightly tedious process (as the new job process can often be), I took one of two job offers that I received (TWO! 😖) and I can't wait to start next week. This job will allow me to end my ride-sharing career (if I want), and have much more time to do fun things. I think it's a nice way to end one chapter, and begin a new one, especially with the extra added time I'll have on my hands, now that I will have graduated. So, with that said, I've started applying for places to volunteer including AARP's Drive to End Hunger, a potential volunteer position at Chicago Animal Care and Control, and even with Musicians on Call!

     Also, I'll have my hands full with this princess! Her name is Twix, and she belongs to my brother, but my sister, Kelly and I are keeping track of her whereabouts lately. For now, anyway. 

     Here's to much better Caturdays and fun! 

Dear everyone:
I am having a change of heart, as far as my career goes. I think I might be facing burnout. For those of you that don't know, I am a certified nursing assistant. I no longer feel like I have enough patience or compassion to do this job anymore. I've been a nurse aide for four years, and there are a lot of times when I just don't feel appreciated. With that said, I've decided to begin to figure out what it is I actually want to do. While I'm trying to figure that out, I have decided that I'll use this blog for all things creative. I scrapbook, so I'll use it to show off some of the projects I make. But more importantly, I have decided to use this blog for writing and photography. I love photography, so I'll be uploading a couple photos every week, if not one per day. I think this is one great way to keep my motivation up.

Happy creativity!
