Cross fingers, please

I forgot to mention in my gargantuan post of ramblings, that I found 2 counselor type jobs listed through Austin Peay, and I've faxed my info in, so send happy thoughts my way that I'll hear something and perhaps have a job/intership kinda dealio starting. I need to get crackin'. If I don't start something this semseter, I've decided I'm going to do it at home. I don't want to stay here just to do that, and have to depend on crappy ass pay to live. ALtho, I spose I could still get student loans, since I'd be enrolled.. but hmm. No GA position to get instate tuition. I should have changed my address!

But, I think I have decided that I want to go back to NC. I'll miss people here, APSU people and Robin & Mike, and just the area in general. When I think about leaving, it makes me sad cuz it's just so cute and nice here... but I can come visit. It's not that far. I need to be near my parents and everyone else. I don't want to have to rely on sucky work "vacations" to spend time visiting people. I want to be able to go have lunch with my mom; or see my neices and nephews more than twice a year; and babysit my girlies in my free time and watch them grow up and be apart of their lives. It's too hard to cram it all in on short visits home. I mean, how long was I home for Christmas? ANd I still didn't get to see everyone I wanted to?! IT's just insane. So, as I see it, let the countdown begin.. hopefully in 6 months, I'll be living in NC again. That makes me happy.
