my week

I could not think for a clever title for this post! So I worked my first 40 hour week this past week, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was. Actually, it wasn't bad at all. At work I'm basically a glorified proofreader, but I get to listen to my headphones while working, so I'm cool with it. The Chase building is like a mall (I can't get away from the damn mall!). It's got a mini-mart, dry cleaners, Starbucks, Xerox place, and two cafeterias. It might even have it's own gravitational pull.

Anyways, now that I'm busy all the time studying for my GRE re-take (yes, I am a math genius!), working, and spending quality time with friends I am content. It's a very nice feeling. :) Yea!!!

my life plan


Yea I know what you're thinking.. big suprise, Robyn has a plan. Actually it IS kind of a new thing because for the past few months I've been operating without one and although I can do that, it stresses me out. So without further ado... THE LIFE PLAN!

Work at Chase until July
I start on Monday, it's 40hours a week and it's probably going to suck. It's one of those mindless corporate jobs with no world saving potential at all. I'm not even 100% sure what I'll be doing, but I know it will probably not keep me up at night, so I'm ok with it for a few months. Oh, and it pays decently

Get a car
Yea! I'll finally be able to afford one, and I can hand Pat the keys back to Old Blue (The '83 Benz).

Work for Road of Life from July 06-July 07
This is going to rock my world. I'm so excited about this job I can barely contain myself, but I've already written enough about it, so moving on. During this time I'm still going to be living with Joan. My meager salary won't allow for a car payment and rent. It's all good tho.

Move to C-Bus
Me and Mia will then relocate to Columbus, yea!!!

OSU School of Public Health September 2007
Not only am I going to get into the school with my stellar credentials (I mean really, a whole year of health related volunteer work, and a kick ass GPA!), but I'm hoping to get an assitantship to pay for my MPH, the entire MPH. That's why I'm so into math lately, I'm retaking the GRE and bumping up my Math scores. I'm actually really good at math when I know what I'm doing.

And that's as far as I've gone. But I think two years plan is pretty f*ing decent for a girl who didn't know what she was doing at all. I love my plan, let's see how often it changes in the next two years, haha!

I GOT THE JOB!


Yeeaaa! I got the job as a VISTA member and I will be staffing Road of Life, a sweet non-profit dealing with cancer prevention!!!! I'll probably be doing lots of fundraising and hopefully a little grant writing too. I'm way excited. It starts in July so i'll have to get a crap job until then, but who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
