So wow. A bit has changed in the past few weeks.

I’ve quit Wendy’s. Forever. I wouldn’t work there again if I was flat broke and starving. It’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it while I was there, but after a billion years there, it’s taken me nowhere. It seems as if while I was there, I lost the desire and motivation to accomplish anything else in my life.

So after about a week and a half of being unemployed, I started working at Cast Fab (the iron foundry I worked at last Spring) again. I know, some people think I’m idiot because they think that’s the wrong path for me to take, but I’ve thought about it and I think they’re wrong.

I have two goals in my mind right now, and I think this is one of the best options I could have.

Goal one is to start a career in graphic design. In my week and a half out of work, I applied to a number of places and got no response. There were also a number of places I didn’t apply to because they were more into Kentucky, and Cincinnati is one drive, but Kentucky is an extra 30 minutes to each drive (with traffic, yes seriously, 10 miles is 30 minutes.)

Which leads me to goal two. Move to Cincinnati. I realized that it would be easier to accomplish these goals one at a time. It would be great to get a design job and then have the money to move to Cincinnati, but I felt I was limiting myself by not wanting to go too far South.

So with me working at Cast-Fab, I’ll have solid hours, a steady income, and good money to start working somewhere. If I’m feeling adventureous, I can spend my days at interviews and such… although I may be a bit tired, I don’t think it’s too hard of a feat to wake up a bit early or stay awake a few more hours to go to an interview or something.

So yeah. That’s the big things going on right now.

As far as school goes, I wasn’t able to get a co-op for the term. That would have made me completely done with school. I’m taking the portfolios class right now because I wanted help putting my portfolio together. The unfortunate side of that is that I have to do so much extra stupid work just to do that and it’s really pissing me off. I haven’t been doing the work, and chances are I’m going to get a bad grade in the class because of it. Luckily, the class isn’t required for me. I’m half tempted to just drop it. It’s one day a week, but it means that I’m going to not get much sleep on Tuesday because I have to go to class instead.

I really want to start being more frequent with my updates. That would be great.

I have some homework to get done before I enjoy my day today and I think it would be best to do it.

See ya.
