Awkwardly Thankful

Today I had an unexpected talk with two very important people, my bosses. They basically explained to me how I have been doing a great job, but there are little things that need improvement. Turns out that I made a mistake, and I shouldn't have done what I had but in the end, everything is a learning experience.

I thanked them continuously for the talk, as I am always looking to improve, so it was greatly appreciated that they approached me about a certain situation. It was probably one of the weirdest feelings in the world, the feeling of happiness mixed with the one of disapointment. Obviously I should have known that what I was doing was wrong, but I didn't mean any harm. That's what you get for asking questions by writing a note to your boss. Anyways...

I'm looking forward to being done school. I think that I have officially decided to go ahead with the manager training at Maxi. It really feels nice when your bosses acknowledge your efforts, and congratulate you for a job well done. I take my job seriously, even if I do work at a grocery store.

Merci Alex et Louise, je vous apprécie beaucoup!

I am determined to get better. After today, I realized that I have to start becoming less of a friend and more of a boss. Although I am the clown of the store, I need to be a little stricter. I have always been driven to do well at work, but this conversation has pushed me to do even more. I am ready to work harder.

13 Weeks to Go

I cannot wait for the semester to be over. Besides the fact that I will be graduating and I won't have to see Abbott again, I'll also get back into the swing of seeing my friends. After a summer of constant fun, good laughs and memories with my favorite people, I am getting withdrawal. On top of that... I don't have any of my friends in any of my classes, except for Child Psych which I look forward to every Tuesday and Thursday.

I guess you can say that I'm jealous, since Melissa and James get to see each other every day. They're so lucky!

I guess I am just paranoid that my friends are going to drift from me... already I feel like we've drifted a part little. Ugh. I guess new friendships will be formed in these 13 weeks, some will get closer and others apart. As selfish as this sounds, I just hope that I'm not missing out on too much.

...and even if we're not in the same classes...remember, I'm here.
