My Wife & Kidz

Well, since Sears wants "long term employees"... I sort of found more job opportunities. One is a clerical job at a local law office. The other is as a sales rep at Staples. I figured if I got both of them, that I could work at the law office full time and the store part time. Sounds like a lot of work, but my mother held 2 jobs for 20 years so it can be done. :) if I did do it though, I'd feel very accomplished. Working in a law office may look very good for law school and future jobs/internships :D

Right now I'm watching My Wife and Kids. Its the episode when Jay and Michael ran into one of their successful, gorgeous high school friends. Jay feels shamed because she isn't as accomplished as she was, having 7 kids, and meanwhile working on a political campaign, working for a magazine and having a body that looks like stays in the gym 5 times a week. LMFAO now who the heck does all this? I think its funny, but ut reminds me of what the situation will be like years from now when I run into some my high school friends. I wonder if they will have accomplished as much as I have or will I be the one that feels shamed. Not that I want anyone to feel that way, I wish everyone the utmost success in life. I'm just afraid of feeling like I failure myself. My dream to be a successful lawyer, starting my own firm from the ground up, as well as having a loving husband and children...it feels like its within my reach. I've never wanted anything more in life but to get those things, and be in such a stature that I could get everything I wanted and not have to worry about it.

Lol, well it looks like jay was a little too intimidated by the girl, and went and got a complete make over, which is kind of funny! But I guess she did it so she could feel better about herself ;)

smash it, better yet...stomp all over it.

today i got onto the bus on the way to english class. it was almost full so i had to sit in between a girl and another guy who were having a conversation in order to avoid standing up for the bus ride. the girl was telling the guy about how people that minor in spanish in college do not really accomplish anything. people can typically get through with a spanish minor without even knowing how to speak the language fluently. she said if she were an employer, having a spanish minor would not matter. i thought about this for quite sometime and honestly, she's right. i have had about 5 years of spanish classes and am going to have 3 more, but i can not understand someone who speaks fluently in spanish worth a lick. this might change around some things later on down the line. i'm looking at business minors now, not saying that i have fully decided to change my minor. i might have to talk about it to my law advisor to decide which minor would be a better choice for impressing a law school.

sometimes i hate when people take away your dreams, by pursuing something that you really wanted to do in the first place. but then, after they take them, they throw them away like it means nothing to them, especially when it meant everything to you. i feel like people do this on purpose really. i have wanted to be an RA way beyond even going to college, and once i told people that it's what i wanted to do, they basically decided that they wanted to do it too. well things didn't go well first semester as far as grades go. they weren't bad, they just weren't what i wanted them to be. but it caused me to not be able to get the job immediately, which killed me inside. i knew that this was probably the only way that i will be able to pay for school next year. what hurt me even more was that i knew i actually was going to be offered the job. now someone else i knew actually got the job, and they ended up quitting it because they thought it would be a waste of time. i dont know, maybe i just feel stupid when people don't appreciate the things that i appreciate...ya know? they just smash it. better yet, they just stomp all over it. it's ridiculous really.
