Today I got my first Christmas card in the mail! It was from my Grandma of course :) I love getting letters! She told me she enjoyed reading my blog and asked if I could share more. Well, that gave me a bit of a complex because I don't know what to even share about my life! I have a pretty steady and boring life right now. That's pretty much why I have stopped writing blogs so frequently. So I'll try my best to come up with ideas for what to write about!
Work has been getting better lately. The manager has seemed to calm down a bit, and I'm counting down the weeks until she is in the store a little less. Also I really am making some great friends at the store, so it makes it so much better. We are also back in our original store location, and it has been renovated and is much larger. Most days work is going by faster, and my feet are hurting less and less. So all in all, I think I'm just getting used to it, and also the working conditions are better in this store.
We had our holiday work dinner last Saturday. It was fun, and a good opportunity to get to know people outside of work. The only problem with making work friends though, is that it is hard to find time to get together outside of work!
On another note, I applied to the Social Work diploma about a week ago. I had a meeting with the head of the department, and it sounds like a good program. I'm excited about the idea of going back to school. I know lots of people find jobs with just the diploma as opposed to the bachelor, and I already have a bachelor so that might work in my favour. The only main difference between the diploma and the bachelor, is 2 years of electives (and only 3 requirement social work classes) before applying for the program. So I feel like if I have a bachelor, I have more than 2 years of electives! Anyways, that will be for next September. It'll be my first experience with student loans, that's for sure! I better start cutting down expenses and start saving!
Grandma says "thanks" <3
