A New Beginning : Year 2011!

The year of 2011 was the craziest! It was hard, emotional, and such a relief when I got back to school. I was not able to back to college in the spring semester of 2011 because I didn't have the money to go back until it was way to late. This put me way behind fulfilling my longing for my degree in psychology, which I had recently changed to from music education. So, while living back under my parents' roof, I got a job working at Dairy Queen and I took some online courses (which I failed miserably at) just to avoid paying back my student loans. It was during this time that all of the money I made went toward my wedding and paying for the 2 classes that I took and failed. I am so grateful to my family and friends for helping me through that time. I was just miserable, but something that my mom told me was that I was doing what I had to do to be able to do what I wanted to do. The worst thing that happened was when I fell at work and sprained my shoulder. I couldn't stand working there anymore. My boss was angry at me for falling and after she told me I couldn't work for a week, I didn't and then she proceeded to withhold my paycheck until I came back to work. I was the happiest I had ever been when I put in my two week notice that July. I hated working fast food. I looked forward to the times that I didn't work. Those photos, I will post down below. I think that the kindest thing my old boss ever told me was that I had potential. I don't think that she really understood why I was leaving, but that doesn't bother me.
