TGIF
I have a feeling today is going to be a really good day :)
I have my first spanish test today... and even though I didn't have time to study I think I'll do fine. I really like learning spanish... it's fun! I better do good though... I can't drop a test because I skipped a day, oops.
Then in my international management class we're going to learn what our group project is on.
Not sure if I'll be going to sociology or not... he talks about common sense stuff.
Then work from 1:30-5:00, then freetime!! I wonder what I want to do tonight...
I need ideas of what to cook for supper. I wish we had milk and cheese because those are key ingredients in almost anything! -

I need ideas of what to cook for supper. I wish we had milk and cheese because those are key ingredients in almost anything! -
- Salmon patties with baked potato
- Chicken with cornbread stuffing (not sure about this... would proboably need cheese), okra or green beans
- Fried chicken tenders - I may surprise Alex by cooking this! No, he doesn't read my blog... he hates reading anything! I wish I had hot sauce because I could make buffalo chicken tenders...
- Eggplant parmesan - I really wish I could make this but I don't have eggplant... or sauce... or parmesan. Darn.
Speaking of Alex... where is he? He should be back from Sportplex by now. He goes to the gym every morning and plays raquetball and works out. He really is motivated! I could never do that. The extent of my exercising is walking on Tuesday and Thursday, and that was Laila's idea!
He better get here soon because I have to go take my test!

Ironic
I just got home from the FMA meeting @ South. It was very, very depressing.
The speaker was a financial planner from Ameriprise w/ a recent finance graduate who is his para-planner.
How ironic is it that I just posted this morning about how nostalgic I was about my last job and then I have to go and hear this!
It's not fair. Life isn't fair though I guess. I was a para-planner and I was suppose to help take-over the team eventually. Just like this girl. Except she had no previous experience and I have a lot.
It's depressing. Why did I have to get laid off? Why did they make up that rule? I guess everything happens for a reason. But I don't like having it rubbed in my face.
I don't think I'll be going to many more FMA meetings. People ask the same stupid questions and speakers talk about the same stupid things. If you don't know how people get clients... you shouldn't be a business major. And yes, for the millionth time, we know what asset allocation and annuities are.

Broken promises
Today at work while I was scanning my endless room of loan files... I started to daydream. I always do this because scanning... doesn't take any brainpower whatsoever. I started to think about my last job at the brokerage firm. It has been almost a year since I was laid off.
It baffles me how co-workers who cry when they find out your leaving never contact you after you actually leave. The ones who beg management to let me stay and try to find a way around the rules. How they made me reassure them I would be coming back as soon as graduated... that this was only "temporary." I don't feel as though I don't have a place there anymore. They don't contact me at all... I feel as I am the only one who tries to keep in touch.
I understand being busy but it has been a YEAR. Maybe they don't want to talk to me anymore because they don't want to lead me on any farther. That's what I'm assuming.
It hurts and I feel as though a dream has been crushed. The day they told me I lost my job I could see all of my plans shattering... but I was reassured that this wouldn't change a thing. I don't know anymore. I need to start looking for a post-college job for real now I guess.
My current place of work is great... everyone is so nice and it really is a good environment to work in. Unfortunately, there isn't any job there I could have after I graduate. Either a loan originator or a loan processor. Hmm... pure commission or doing paperwork all day... no thanks.

Introduction
I typed a reeeally long post last night for an introduction but then I decided no one was going to read something that long. So I am going to try and be more concise because I normally write a lot in blogs.
It's 7:09 a.m. :( I'm getting ready to go to work. I don't want to go, I want to go to sleep! Oh well.
I can't understand why everyone is getting so worried about Hurricane Gustav... it's so far away. It could hit anywhere. People need to realized that projected paths aren't always right. Remember Dennis? The day OF the hurricane they said it was category 4/5 going to hit Mobile... then it turned and it was nothing but a stupid rain shower.
My mom went and bought a grill and a air conditioner/fan thing. She freaks out too much. I guess she has nothing better to do than watch the Weather Channel all day.
