Moving on

Hello! It has been a while. For the record, I have been super busy. So what s going on with my crazy life? Long story short I had major surgery, quit my job and moved to the country.

It has been a long year, and a really rough 6 months. I was in that place that I knew something had to change but didn't want to do what needed to be done. I had been at my old company for five year. I loved that place and those people but if I had to put a smile on my face and pretend to care about the ungrateful students one more day I would scream. Don't get me wrong we did have some incredible students who worked hard and wanted to receive a great education- those students made it worth it. However the majority of the students only came to school to get a living check and believed everything that was wrong in their life was everyone else's problem.

I finally cracked and I decided it was time to move on. So I turned in my notice. with lots and lots of tears, and started down that path. With a quick diversion to get my thyroid removed (which FYI sucked big time). My last day came sooner then I thought and I spent my last day crying and saying goodbye to all my friends. Then I packed up my car and moved.

I live in a tiny little town with a population of maybe 500 people now. I spent summers here growing up so it is not like I picked some random town on the map. I have lots of family here and I am working at a restaurant while I figure out what I am going to do. So it is going to be a super crazy summer working full time but I needed the change (Every panic attack I feel coming on I just say that to myself over and over).

I am excited for my new journey, scared out of my mind but also excited. I already feel better about the change. For as much as I loved my friends at my old company I also had people that openly hated my existence and wanted me gone for years. It is exhausting always being forced to be around people who hate you so much. I went to work at least once a week thinking I would be fired that day because of someones mood. It makes you old.

Speaking of old I also had a birthday! While eating lunch with my brother he turned to me and said, "You officially old now" I replied "I think that 30 is when your officially old" he looked at me confused and said "I thought you turned 36 today". In horror I informed him I am only 28 to which he said I was still old...

So that is whats new with me. I will try to work on posting more frequently.
