Kitten's Change

Kitten wanders into blog and sleepily lays on velvet cushion. It has been such a gloomy day today. I want the sunshine {whines }.

It has been very busy so Kitten has barely had time to catch her breath let alone blog. After much reflection and thought I have decided to change my major. While I love accounting and find anything in the business sector interesting, it just isn't what I want to be doing my entire life. I want to be in a job where I am able to move around and work in different places. I really want to work internationally. I know I have talked about working in Europe and have bent numerous hours pouring over French books. Is working in Europe going to be any different than working in the US. Ok, yes, the rules of accounting would be different but my life would pretty much be the same. I want a change.

Therefore, Kitten has decided that nursing is going to be her chose profession. With nursing I can get a job anywhere. I can with with a doctor in private practise or work at a hospital or find some relief work, like the Red Cross, and working where people are really needed to help. There is also a lot of job security and while the pay isn't going to make me a millionaire, it is decent enough.

Changing majors means that I must part with my current college and leave all my friends and professors. I'll miss them but I feel it is time to move and start another chapter. I don't regret going to my current college. I love and will miss it. They have great professors ( for the most part) and the one-on-one attention is not like anything that I will find at my current college.

Not to make it sound that I will be moving across the country. No I shall just be down the road some 10 miles away. My new college is a public university but compared to many other public ones, it is not all that big. I think there is about 2500 total for the undergraduate section. I will thankfully not be living in the dorms but will have an apartment on or near campus. While I like the idea, I'm a little worries because I have never lived on my own before. Even at my current college, it felt more like a big mansion with a lot of girls. An apartment by myself for some reason sounds daunting but I'm sure that I will get over it eventually.

My summer class started last week and, for the most part it is going well. My class is rather small for this college, about 14. The class is called Quantitative Literacy. This is pretty much just the basic math course but I felt like a needed a refresher before getting into the college algebra and trig.

My Lil Sis and I had a nice Saturday. We went to the pool and swam for a little while. We tried playing a volleyball like game in the water but it was much easier than it sounded. I have a weak arm and the ball kept getting away from Lil Kitten and going to the deep end but we still had a lot of fun. Then we came back home and went and had Chinese and after that we went to Movie Gallery, which is going out of business and looked around. I was shocked to find two seasons for "Secret Life of a Call Girl" I had want to watch it but did not know they had it so I bought both seasons. Then we came back home and watched "Beverly Hill Chihuahua" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic" both are great movies. We also make time to read some of the confessions from Cosmo. I love those things.
