being old...

I'm 22. 22 is an age for getting "real life" together. I know that real life happens all of the time, but I feel like my life has largely been one without any responsibilities. Real life involves bills, kids, a job you have to be on time for, and other less flexible things. I've barely mastered doing laundry/dishes/and vacuuming. I was looking on Facebook today (yeah, I'm back on, but I think it might have been a poor choice) and I kept coming across pictures of people I went to high school with who are married, working, and having babies. A good number of my friends, actually, have had babies already. Yikes. Another of my former teammates got married yesterday. I really don't know how I feel about any of that. Weddings are scary.

I got some stuff done this weekend, but I feel like I never get enough done. I had a really successful career fair day. I ended up with a phone interview and a (sort of) job offer. I'll know more about both of those within the next two weeks I think. One of the jobs is for next semester. The thing is, it would mean leaving here and my apartment and going somewhere else which I'm not exactly sure I am ready to do. On one hand, I most definitely am ready to get a start on life. On the other hand, I would probably be better off to stay settled here and stay busy working on applications and have ready access to professors, staff persons, etc. It makes getting recommendation letters/transcripts hard when you're super far away.

Speaking of transcripts, I REALLY don't like that a lot of applications require you to have official transcript copies from all of the places you've ever studied. That's quite a few for me and I REALLY don't enjoy shelling out $5 to 3 different community colleges every time I need to prove to someone that I took dual enrollment classes in high school. Ordering transcripts needs to be made easier through use of online forms or they need to just be able to supply them electronically or something. I feel like transcripts don't even really matter that much to some extent. Pshaw. Alright. I'm going to go and do some things that matter.
