Peter pan

I loved what I read on my pastors blog today. He said in order to blog and keep blogging you either have to have insight into a lot of interesting things, or eat interesting things for breakfast to tell people about.

Well, my life is not that interesting. And I am rarely awake early enough to even eat breakfast. And so, this blog is neglected. I'm sorry blog.

Life is funny right now. College is an in between time. You don't have all the rules and such your parents - ahem, my parents (they were pretty strict and I am still convinced that I was the only high school senior to have an 11 o'clock curfew) - set forth and yet you are not forced into the monotonous routine of having a 9-5 job and having more responsibility than you know what to do with. (God help me, if I ever really have that)
When I started college my mom and I argued a lot about this in between time. I told her I didn't have to grow up yet and she said I had better start. (She had me at 18 and grew up quick in order to be the most awesomest mom I could ever ask for.) She finally accepted that her peter pan child will probably never really grow up all the way. (Hey, I am ok with it, shouldn't she be?)
Well I finished my undergrad in August, and I was technically supposed to be out of that buffer zone and into adult life. However, I wasn't ready. And plus, I still have to go to grad school for my chosen profession. So I get some play time until I am accepted into grad school???? Maybe not. Its time to grow up a little more. I am pretty done with my serving job. I got demoted from bartender (long, stupid story that should have never even happened) and as much as I am not ok with growing up, I am also not ok with going back a step. So, I am thinking that this is my time to step it up and get a big girl job. And so, I am freakin out. I am not ready for this. But, do I really wanna be thirty and still working in a chain restaurant? Absolutely not. Time to use that degree my parents helped me out with.

Let the application process begin.

There Mom, are you happy? Peter pan is leaving Neverland... But don't you worry, I know my way back. =P
