So I have been thinking about my dear friend's suggestion of purposefully thinking back on these past years since I graduated from college in hopes to feel a sense of accomplishment. Well here it goes (and I'm working from memory so please forgive anything that may be left out):
May 2006: Graduated from college & started working at my first "grown up" job.
March 2007: Decided to apply for Grad School to study Marriage and Family Therapy
May 2007: Quit my 1st "grown up" job after being treat like shit and being treated like worse shit after saying something about it. Decided to move back to the TC area to be by my family...and bought Stanley!
May - Aug 2007: Unemployed, but lukily I had stashed away enough money to not freak out...but it also required that I live at home...after living on my own for 5 years.
September 2007: Started a new Social Work job AND started Grad School
October 2007: finished my 1st Grad School class...and dropped out...thus incurring more student loan debt...but this time I had nothing to show for it.
June 2008: Met Matt :)
October 2008: really, really, REALLY started disliking my job and started looking for a new one
June 16, 2009: Got my 1st job interview after applying for 8 months
June 17: Had the job interview
June 18: Got offered the job
June 19: Put in my notice at my horrible job
June 20: My 1 year anniversary with Matt and he PROPOSED!
July 7, 2009: Started my new job, thought I'd love it...
June 20, 2010: Got Married! and finally went on a vacation...to Florida!
July 2010: Started Grad School (through my work) for Business Administration...quit a week later. Ugh I so do not know anything about business and that was apparent in that first finance class.
October 2010: Got a new position at work...the new location was an additional 20 min from home but I started working 4 days/week instead of 4 days one week then 6 days the next and rotating that way...trust me that sucked. Also took a business class through work...didn't realize how much work classes were. I guess I forgot about that aspect of college.
February & March 2011: Started having major drama at work with a new coworker...ugh...
March 2011: Started this blog in hopes of getting some thoughts out
May 2011: Yep, started job searching again...ugh I hate this process
June 2011: Our 1st anniversary was marked by the passing of Matt's grandma
October 2011: Still no luck with the job hunting process sooo I decided to take a few classes through work (Human Resource Management & Accounting Principles 1...riveting).
Ok, that's all I can think of now...I'm too tired to do any reflecting on this or to start picking it apart.
