soon to be a grown-up...

well, i was dreaming of quitting this job of mine and perhaps being unemployed for a little while as i look for a new job (because this one ends in may anyway, so i have to get one then) but then i had to buy a suit for a reception thing that washington university is having in my honor. okay, maybe not specifically in my honor, but in honor of the admitted students, and i'm one of those. anyway, suits cost an ABSURD amount of money. never having been a 'professional' or a 'grown up' before, i've never needed to buy a suit. and while i knew they cost more money than regular clothes, i had no idea how much more. plus, i was picky about which suit i bought. so it's partly my fault. long story semi-short, i can no longer afford to quit my job just yet. i'm here at least until the next pay period ends. boo.

i did finally decide to accept at washington university. i had to accept their financial aid offer by the beginning of april, and most of the other schools i was accepted to weren't going to put out their offers until after then. plus, to be honest, i probably wasn't going to get a better offer. so that's settled, which is weird, since it seemed like this thing that was so huge and undecided for so long. and yet, making the final decision was such a non-event. i thought it would feel like a bigger deal. whatever. i'm just rambling now. i'll stop.

well, not alot else is going on and i should get back to work. i hope everyone else is doing well. i miss you guys.

hugs and kisses - jess
