well sirs! today is in fact my LAST Friday at this schoooooool! So, looking back, Becka thinks that I sucked at this school pretty majorly. And, she's right. But honestly? There's a lot more to life than school. School sets you up for some things, yes, but there's a lot that school doesn't set you up for and I'm confident that I'll be able to succeed at the things that matter... I'll succeed at what I need to succeed at to get to where I want to be. And that is what is important... That will make my family proud, that will remind my parents that no, I do not totally suck.
And I'm coming back as a different person... Well, not different, but definitely changed. I know that I've gotten a little healthier, and a little unhealthier. My state of mind has gone down, but that doesn't mean I can let anyone know that. I've learned how to stand up for myself more, how to deal with bullshit and not deal with it at the same time. I know now where the line is. When this school says they teach "professionalism", they mean wearing uncomfortable clothing and putting a smile on your face, and keeping all your nasty comments to yourself AT LEAST UNTIL your client isn't listening. Real professionalism? In my opinion, that is wearing what you and your client are both comfortable with, putting a smile on your face, and keeping all your nasty comments to yourself all the time. No one wants to hear it, and if someone does hear it, you know it'll circle back to the one person that definitely should not hear it.
Anyways.
It's 7:30 right now ... listening to Gogol Bordello, Alcohol... Maybe I should go get ready for school? Nah, I already am ready for school! Oh and by the way! Today is my first day not smoking, for real this time. I got no more cigarettes, and I have no more reason to smoke them. I'm almsot done with school, I'm almost done with West Virginia... I'm going back home, and home doesn't need an Abby that smokes.
