The end is near, but I'm crystal clear now!

**From an email I wrote to a friend. It was easier than
writing it all over again.

So I've been doing some thinking, and I just need to
bounce a few ideas off of you, because we all know that my
roomie isn't the greatest skilled listener.

So I was thinking, in one year I will be graduated! I mean
done University...and my whole plan to go to college was a
procrastination step so I wouldn't have to go to work, but
then I realized, I know exactly what I want to do! I mean,
I can't picture myself doing anything else.

So then I came to the revelation, that Ottawa is no big
special place, and the odds of my getting a good job here
are slim to none, because I'm too young for the major
market system...and all my experience stems from "small"
markets...

So then the thought came to me! Not only do I miss my mom,
but I can't spend my whole life just deciding I'm going to
live in one city and working at McDonalds for the rest of
my life, and at this point in my life, I really can't go
back to Wawa. I could see myself retiring there someday
and taking over the station, but not now.

So, I've decided that the best market for me to get into
after I graduate is none other than SSM! I mean Mix 100
would be a great place to work! And then after a few years
there if I'm not liking things I could always circulate my
resume again. Or I could get a promotion and spend a great
chunk of my life there! And, the managers there also hired
my father 20 years ago.

I think my biggest problem is that I was just afraid of
the working world...but I've realized, if I want to get
ahead in this world I have to do it myself! And I am good
at what I do so there's no reason to hide! That's all
college was going to be for me, a place to hide! And I
don't need to waste my time or money there.

Ahh! Felt good to get that off my chest!

So as of 1:13 pm today that's my secret after graduation
plan. I have no idea how my father will react to that, so
I plan on just not telling him for awhile.

I've escaped Wawa...and truth be told, the city is very
big and lonely.
