Since you asked, SA, I'll stop lurking (I'm usually in Natter).
After graduating college early, I was weary and filled with angst and the dregs of rebellion. I went to work at a strip club. Although an interesting use of my anthropology degree, I can't recommend that course of action. I should have moved someplace I wanted to be and gotten a decent job. The benefits of having benefits didn't occur to me until years later. (I sometimes wish I'd gone to grad school, but at the time, more college was not what I wanted.)
You have friends and a strong support system, and you will not be all alone in a big scary world. It's an exciting world, and it's perfectly okay to take some time to try different things and figure out what you want to do.
Go, Nicole!
vw, I agree with Nora, talk to your regular boss about what Big!Boss said.
I'm not going to my first class today. Panic attack. I am trying to pull myself together for the second class.
General poll: what did you do after you graduated college?
moved to England for 8 months or so on a great program called BUNAC It's a student exchange program, but you retain your student status for up to a semester after you graduate, they give you a work permit, the amount of time depends on the country. so, worked for six months, ran around Europe for another six weeks or so, came home and worked for a few months, then went to law school
Thanks for the site Nicole. I'll probably have to ask for it again as my brain is full of holes these days. I think his biggest problem is the physical habit of smoking. I suspect he wouldn't know how to drive without a cigarette.
Today sucks. Mightily. I want a do-over.
Tomorrow we see the lawyers again and sign the guardianship paperwork. I want to take BART, DH wants to drive. Our appoitnment is at 5pm and their offices are on Market near the Civic Center. I so don't want to deal with traffic and parking.
{{{Beth and Matt}}} So hard. Sweet that she perked up at the sight of her boy.
Good job on 8 days not smoking, Nicole. You're in the toughest days now, but if you can make it through the next week, the very hardest days will be behind you.
And yes, your monetary savings won't be felt until you're not buying cigarette substitutes any more.
I'm pooped. I wanna go home.
Also, what's the site where you can get a username and password so you don't have to register for a site?
