62 DAYS TIL EUROPE!!!
I am so psyched to finish school (4 weeks!) and be done with SFU for good.
I have my application for Kwantlen all ready, just need to send it this week.
Hopefully I get into the program!
Also got a new job at Suzy Shier in the mall.
Love it so far... way better than my last job.
Why? Different kind of customer, nicer & better quality clothes that I actually like, organized, and I like my co-workers! (Although I did like 3 of the girls from Fairweather)
This means I get to save up money which I haven't been able to do.
Which makes the opportunity of being an au pair more attainable.
Plus, I have been talking with a German family for the past month or so... so you never know.
I'm really just in need of some adventure!
Europe, you can't come fast enough.

Life, you're a very confusing thing
As I stood at the kitchen counter speaking to the cream cheese container that would not open, I thought "Meaghan, what do you REALLY want to do with your future?"
Answer: No clue.
I see my mail in the kitchen this morning and with it came the package I had requested a while back for information on a TESOL course. I opened it and looked over everything. Just when I thought I knew what I wanted to do!
Herein lies the problem with this: If one wants to teach in Europe (which, obviously, refers to me), then one must have a Bachelor's degree as well.
This would mean that I'd have to continue with university, something I DO NOT want to do. AT ALL.
Like I've mentioned, I want to do something more "hands-on." I don't want to spend what will probably amount to 5 years of my life writing papers on topics that don't interest me and spending my parents' well earned money on schooling that I'm just not happy with.
So... graphic design.
This seems to be the most promising and most realistic choice so far.
Let's hope it works out.

Insane
Quit my job today.
Must find new one to pay for my trip!
Had no choice though, my new manager was awful.
You know when you get that vibe that someone doesn't like you?
Yea, well I had that and boy, was I right.
She's only been working at our store for a few weeks and has had only 2 shifts with me.
She had given me 4 hours next week which is ridiculous.
So I start my shift today, I'm in the middle of the store folding clothes and she comes up to me and starts attacking me saying I'm "not an asset to the company" and "should find a new job" and that "noone likes [me]."
Okay... yea, so THAT'S why I've been working with the company for a year and a half and no one's complained about me or fired me. Totally full of shit.
So I went into hysterics, called my last manager - who was disgusted - called my mom to pick me up and left.
There's more shit that happened but don't feel like typing all of it.
Short story is, she's horribly unprofessional.
Who needs to deal with that at work? No one.
So I emailed the district manager to let her know that I wanted to give 2 weeks notice but there's no way I would think of going back after that.
She was trying to convince me that I was still an employee and should go back for my shifts but pretty much said hellllz to the no am I going back there with that person running the store. It's worse than being in highschool. Honestly.
So there ya go, that was my day.
Not a happy one but in a way I'm relieved I got out of such an unhealthy work environment.
