I love vacation, but empty space in the head leads to questioning... pretty much everything.
Is this a good thing or does it cause more stress than anything? I mean, should I address the questions more frequently or should I just keep myself busy and therefore happier?
I'm thinking there's a reason I always take on more than I probably should handle. Somehow there's comfort in the chaos. Sleeping at night isn't a question... I analyze less and do more. But in which way do I live more?
Too many questions. I better put myself to work ASAP.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh finals are finally over!
I have a week off to do... nothing. Well, not really. I got a new job! Not a career job or anything but rather a serving job again. Everyone I tell says, "oh for a little extra spending money?" No, just to live off of :)
I start training today. I'm actually excited to have a new system to learn, new people to meet, new networking opportunities. Change things up a bit, eh? It's perfect timing for spring break too... although I know I have reading assignments for next quarter already.
So 10 classes down and 4 more to go + the China and India trip. Woohoo! This year has flown by so quickly. I will have an MBA in only 3 more months. Wow how things have changed since last summer. At this time last year, I was merely considering grad school and I didn't apply until June. Life is crazy.
So I'm thinking even if I do get a "real job" after graduation, waiting tables would be a good additional source of income. I was going to write an "if I don't get a job" statement, but I will get one.
Ahhhhhhhh how stress just disintegrates after exams and projects. I have a feeling I'll miss school, though.

June June Soon
The last few times I've sat down to write, I've quickly closed the window, unable to justify the 10 minutes it would take to jot down some words. It's Thursday and today was the last day of classes for Winter quarter. Tricky because now finals begin. Grad school is no joke. We've been working straight since August and there's no mercy until July. But a 10 month MBA... aahhhhh. It will be nice to be done.
My back has never experienced anything like grad school, even working at a desk was different. I am married to my desk with two little golden retrievers sleeping under it. I have to be VERY careful when I roll back to get a snack or go to the bathroom because more often than not, there is a little face sleeping close to the wheels.
These two dogs are so amazing. I love them but sometimes they drive me nuts. Duke has SO much energy, puppy energy... and he doesn't have all his shots yet so he's unable to go on any surface other than pavement. Ick. I've gotten pretty creative though. Between the bike path and walk/running circles around my neighborhood, he usually gets enough to knock him out. There's an art to it, though. He has this oral fixation right now, some may call it teething. He always has something in his mouth... a ball, a toy, Taylor, and when we walk either Tay's leash or Duke's own leash remains in his mouth. As long as they're moving forward, I let that part go, for now.
Tay is getting more and more pissy. Maybe he's just tired, maybe he's just old, but he doesn't like me or the puppy right now. He's used to playing in the grass and at the beach and being off leash. Now, I'm either dragging him to get enough ground covered before school, or he's putzing around smelling flowers and refuses to come when I call. I swear that dog talks to me. He's getting a lot more exercise, attention, toys, etc. now that there are two of them, but he's still pissy. When we can go to the park and beach, it will get better.
I'm ready to have a job, to make money that is. I love being in school, but the debt! I have already gone over budget and will be in the red by June... credit card debt will have to suffice for a few months until I have a steady income. Should I just charge everything now, just in case I don't get a job right after school lets out? Hmph. I cannot wait until I make money, enough to live off of is all I ask.
The job market in SLO is slow. Ha. There is really not much here, but I will find the best fit for me and make due. I really resist moving, but that may be my reality, really. I will go kicking and screaming though... and probably be back.
Each day tests me, today I stepped in shit right before leaving my house and tracked it all around the floor. What a nice surprise when I got home! When I'm in a rush, the dogs give me hell. There is always something. I'm just trying to take my deep breaths and appreciate the green hills and 60+ degree weather this week. Winter could be way worse.
