I Just want to graduate...

Published on March 24, 2005 By skardo In Life Journals

I love my job at TGIFirday's. I love waiting on tables, I love the people I work with, but I just want to graduate. Ever since I realized I want to teach I just want to do it right NOW! I know I need to live in the present and appreciate the now, but I know I'm gonna love teaching. I do enjoy my classes, and the U. I'm glad I came up to SLC instead of staying in Happy Valley. Not that the Y or UVSC is a bad place, but I'm just such a fan of Salt Lake.

Now my main question is do I go back to Armenia this summer? Tickets were around $1000 or so round trip from JFK or DC Dulles. If I flew through DC I could visit my sister. I think I'm going to invite her to come, she would love it, and she has the money, I just don't think she has the time. She wanted to come when Mom and Dad picked me up, but had to work.

I don't know why I feel such a strong need to go back. Maybe somebody there needs me. Or maybe I need them.

I was thinking about taking summer school. But only fun classes like Fiction Workshop (or whatever it's called) and Shakepeare, or some other Eng class. But if I go to Armenia I need to save, save, save.

AH!

Cherish the past, live today, plan for (and look forward to) tomorrow!!

It is only natural to want to put into practice, that which you have spent so much time learning. It is also, just as natural for you to feel torn between where you are from, and where you are now. I don't know what the teacher situation is in Armenia, so I won't sit here and tell you where you are needed more, or which place you would be more fulfilled.

Either way, good luck with you schooling, and teaching when you get there. I agree, the Salt Lake Valley is a great place!!! (((But of course, Davis County is better!! ;~D )))))

Hmm. I'll try to be more clear next time.

Salt Lake is a cool place (I grew up in Bountiful). Love it there.

Hope you can make it back to Armenia. I wanted to go back to Guatemala, but decided getting married was a better idea!

You know, getting married wouldn't be a bad idea... it's just I'd have to be dating someone for that to be an option. As it is, however, Armenia sounds great!
