Tonight Andres and I are going to the King Soopers down the road for the release of the new Harry Potter book. I've never been able to get into the HP books, but I'm thinking it will still be a trip to go tonight.

I got a second job at a downtown bakery, and I'll work there for probably about three hours a day after my shift at the coffee place. For a while I felt bad and discouraged that I'm not using my social work degree, but oddly, I'm content with how things have worked out. I did everything I could to secure a job in the field, but it didn't come together, which for right now I'm alright with. My job now is fun, low pressure, and I know exactly what is expected of me. I figure that since I graduated in three years, it's alright that I'm taking this fourth year to do something comfy. I know that by next May (or sooner, who knows?), I'll be ready to move onto something more demanding.

My life is surprisingly simple right now. I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, and I have a plan mapped out for the next few years. Not to mention, I'm with a man who makes me happy in every way. I never used to know what I was going to do after college, if anyone would hire me, what I would go to grad school for, if I'd have enough money, what was going to happen with my Uncle John, if I could forgive myself for screwing up.

Moral of the story? Life goes on.
