Options

So here I am, back in Ohio. Sitting here pondering my options. When I first decided to move back here, I had been thinking about following Chris into the Navy. When I found that I was ineligible to join up, I went to my plan B. I wasn't thrilled about the Army, but I needed something to help me out. I thought the military would have been my best option. I'd have a place to stay, wouldn't need a car (but would be in a position to buy one as soon as I got out), and would have all the money I needed to get my ass into school. However, the Army said no also.


At the end of my 950 mile drive home, I decided to stop in at Red Robin and see some old friends. Immediately Mike was asking me if I wanted my job back, and immediately I said no. Then I decided that working the weekends would be a good way to get some quick cash together. It is the holiday season, after all. I've been on just one day a week, and playing guitar full time during the week. Now, though, I'm thinking of working both Saturday and Sunday.

So now, I'm thinking about just getting back into school. Somewhere I can afford without making a 4 year commitment elsewhere first. I think I'm going to head back to Cincinnati State, though not for the same AVP program I was in. I wasn't really impressed with it before, but I think it's just because it was training me to do something I wasn't into. So the game plan is now to start school winter term 09, only go full time and not just dick around taking 2 classes a term. All the while, I'll keep working at RR on the weekends.

working hard

Well I've started working and making some cash again. It's frustrating, though, to be the low man on the totem pole. It's okay, I know I'll only be there for a short time. I have a habit of moving up the food chain pretty quickly. I think Brio is going to make me a lot of money. 

I received word yesterday that I will have off for my trip to Cincinnati next week. It was such a relief, as I really didn't want to have to call home and explain why I wasn't going to be there. So now I'm busy making plans for the reunion. And I mean my reunion with all the friends I left behind. The family reunion plans are already set. I plan on keeping pretty busy all weekend, I'm trying to fit a lot of people and things in, so I'll just have to see how it works out.
