Career Day (The Format)

If you would have told me that after four and a half years of school, 2 internships, and about four dozen resumes, I would be leasing apartments, I probably wouldn't have bothered. I'm not complaining about what I do because I have always tried to enjoy what I'm doing. It's just a little frustration when 10% of my paycheck goes to pay for an education that I am not even using. Since I have been in Dallas I have almost lost track of what it is I want to do. As much as I want to be the independent type, I can't help but factor my future with John in with my career. It's dfficult to start a career in the corperate world when in the back of my mind I don't know if I'll be here long enough to make it worth while. I guess I'm secretly hoping that it wont be long untill he realizes that he cant live without me. He will sweep me off to Europe where we can live a life that others only dream about. That's all probably selfish of me. When I think about the traveling we could do and the fun we could have, I can't help but want it to begin today. If we were in London, I would be able to work, and what experience that would be. I daydream a lot about maybe going to a fashion school in London or working with high end magazine. It's stupid really, to turn his dream into my dream. That's probably something I shouldn't do.

I'm at a job that I feel like I could really move up at. It's so much fun and everyday is different. Something I try to strive for is to always excell at the jobs given to me. Call it my competitive nature, or my annoying need for perfection. So I keep thinking that I'm fine where I am for now. I am in a position where I am making enough money, I have plenty of promotion chances, and I'm not commited to staying here. In the meantime I will keep my eyes open for a "real life" job and be happy with what I have.
