A Place to Call Home

The past couple of weeks have been a back and fourth struggle on where to live or what I should do with my "career". I use that term lightly since I don't really have a career. Anyway, with not much success on finding a job so far it will be hard for me to get approved for an apartment. I then was thinking about going back to school. Not to get my masters but to completely change majors all together. Culinary has always been an option, I have a love for cooking, not so much cleaning up though. Anyway, after looking into it I realized that option might not work out. Culinary schools seem to lump all their classes into one giant plan. In other words, it isn't like normal college. I can't just go and take a class and pay for just that class. It ends up being very expensive and a bit time consuming since the flexibility of class times are also not like normal college. They offer morning classes and assume you will get a job in the evening at a restaurant getting experience. Makes sense but a restaurant is not where I want to be. So at this point I am not sure this option is going to work out so much. I was also thinking of something in heath care. I don't think I could be a nurse, just the thought alone of a needle gives me a panic attack. So I thought maybe an X-ray tech or something like that. Haven't looked into that as hard just yet. The last option is just get a job but again, no hits to ALL the billions of places I have applied to. Or I just take any job even if its in retail...been there, done that, don't really wish to do that again. So as of now, I have no idea what I will be doing with my time. However I did find a place to live. Drum roll please....

I am moving back home. Much to my dismay, my things will be going into storage and I will be staying at my parents house while I try and find a job or go back to school. This wasn't exactly the plan I had wanted it is the only logical plan as of this moment in time. And my parents thought they could rid of me...haha, I am baaaackkkk!!! Kidding, love you both. :)

Don't leave!! You could always work at McDonald's. Hehe. Sorry you're not having much luck with the job situation. Go back to school though! It'll be fun. All the cool kids are doing it. The x-ray tech thing seems like it would be interesting.

So, before you leave PA, when are we doing lunch?

Oh Erin,
It's hard growing up. I feel your pain! So, are you here at your parents? We need to hang out sometime. I got a new phone number. It's on my blog. Call me or message me sometime and let me know where you're at!
