4 year hiatus

Wow, in 4 years I could have repeated undergrad. Luckily, that won't be happening. So, here's the major update since undergrad. I graduated with a B+ in every one of my classes, except one, where I received an A. Not bad for 21 credits. Not to forget I was working part time as well.

So you are probably asking where has this undergrad degree gotten me? Well the company that I worked part time for asked me to continue another semester part time, which I did. Upon graduation, I took a 1 month break, which almost made my dad had a heart attack since he was furious about me not starting the second after I graduated, no joke. Anyhow, I decided to go work full time for the same company I worked part time for. During the 1 month after graduation I was applying to different companies in a NYC to get more experience, but I guess the pressure of my parents got to me and I caved in to work with the same company. Some times I look back and wish I didn't stay with the company for 4 years, 2 would have been sufficient, but then again i'm not the one to decide how lousy the job market has been. I worked with x company for 4 years in city x. Boy was living in city x an experience! I came from a small private undergrad, small 98% white populated town (me being non-white), so living in city x was like wow. I wasn't sure if I could handle living in a city period. The experience was every bit worth it. I lived in the best area of the city with constant access to transportation, restaurants, the night life, and to the relief of my parents being able to sleep every night, it was a safe area.

So you ask where am I now? I moved from city x back to home 3 months ago. I am still young and I knew from the beginning I didn't want to be working for the same company my entire life. It's important to make changes while your young so you can adjust and learn and get well aquainted with different companies and people. During my last year at work i had feveously began studying for certifications and pre-grad exams. My work load also picked up as one of my team members was let go. I literally was joked on at work for leaving work at 1am when every one else would leave at 5pm to attend their child's baseball/soccer game. This company strived on family life and it literally was 9-5. I am ambitious and hungry and young, this wasn't going to work for me. Maybe later when I'm 44 but not at 24. So I finally decided in April to give the news to my supervisors about me leaving to study full time for this big exam, as I only wanted to take it once, get a good score, and apply for graduate school. So here I am, 1 week before my exam date. Coincedently, I found my old blog during the time where I will be starting college life again. Which means more of you, if there is anyone out there reading this, that will be thrilled to read my blogs. I will leave you glued to your desks, begging me for more. Oh I assure you that I will have every American, non-American young 20's person eager and curious to hear about the life of a college student........yea right! Definitely being sarcastic there.

Anywho, back to studying. Just saw 'Coco Avant/Before Chanel' and just got inspired! WOMEN EMPOWERMENT! If I get a good score, I'll probably post a blog entry soon...if not, maybe a month.
