End of an era...

Well...this coming Saturday (April 3rd) is my last official day at the Depot. I can't believe it has been 5 1/2 years!!! Man time flies. So many things have happened in that short amount of time, it just doesn't seem possible. I have learned so many things from my experiences there, not just about how to fix up my house but also life in general. I have made a lot of friends (and enemies too, I am sure) there and the ones that are true friends will always remain that (you know who you are). I knew it was time to go when it just wasn't fun anymore. It will also open up my weekends (who doesn't want that) so I can actually have real free time to study. I just came to a point where I realized I had to start doing for me and not everyone else. Don't get me wrong, I have definitely been well taken care of while I was there, but it was time for a change. It will be weird to only work one job instead of two, plus school on top of that. People always tell me they can't believe I am working two jobs plus going to Nursing school. And when they ask me how I do it, I never really know what to tell them. I guess it's the work ethic my parents instilled in me at a young age, or maybe the caffeine and "stress smoking" I do when things get crazy. Either way, I have been doing it and it will be nice to finally catch a break...My school load has seemed to lighten itself somewhat...nothing different or anything just seems to be going a lot smoother. 35 days (including fianls week) left in the semester and I will have officially survived my first semester of Nursing school...the month of May cannot get here fast enough!!!!
