I just got home from working a 4 hour shift at Forever 21 not too long ago. It felt like I was there for way more than 4 hours, let me tell you. This whole working retail thing has been on my mind for awhile now. I started working there last summer and, of course, being the newbie scared me a little. I strongly dislike starting new jobs and such because I don't like having to go through the learning process. I'd rather just know what to do right off the bat. Don't get me wrong, once I get the hang of it the whole process becomes pretty cool because then you finally get to the part where you aren't "the new person" anymore and you are able to act as though you've been working there for years. When I first started working there it was all pretty crazy for me. Learning how to do things, as well as learning how to get along with all of your co-workers. The getting along with my co-workers part hasn't been so difficult for me though. I've actually gotten to become pretty good friends with many of the girls I work with, and even with the ones who have moved on and do not work there anymore, I still keep in contact with them. Getting to know all the girls has made working at Forever not so painful, but just recently not even dancing around the store with them has made working there worthwhile. I don't know what it is, but I just can't take it anymore! I know for a fact that I could not allow my future occupation to have to do with retail. Do I know what I would like my future occupation to be? I have an idea or two, but no, I really don't. And that scares me. A lot actually. But that's where my faith in God comes in. In the 21 years I've been on this earth, He has always been there for me and has never let me down and I know that nothing will ever change that.

I love the blog-a-roo. I bet retail does suck, especially since ppl try stuff on and then dont buy it which means you have to go hang it back up or fold it etc. Maybe you should try and apply at a bank since you're doing a business degree they might look at you a little more favorably. And you might make some serious cash-- to then buy a plane ticket for all of your friends and yourself to come to visit moi!
ooooh..cute background! love the blog so far..can't wait for more posts!
