Day 15 Bus Adventure: West Boylston St

Today I had another bus adventure with Jeff but before we did I had to go to Auburn to return a library book. I finished Nobody's Prize and I will do a review about it later.I took the bus and went to the mall. Then I walked to the library which is right next to it and dropped my book off. Then walked back to the mall and waited for Jeff's bus. I got on and Jeff was on. I sat next to him and we went to the hub. Then we went on bus 3o and choose to go to West Boylston St. underneath the hill to QCC. We got off and we walked. We went to a dollar store and gotten a few snacks. Then continued walking to a grocery store and I bought a couple of slices of pizza. There were tables so we were able to sit and eat and talk. Then we left at 2. I wanted to get home earlier so I can watch General Hospital earlier and work on anything I need to work on for my classes. Plus I also wanted to work on Aphrodisa. We took bus 30 back to the hub and then waited for my bus to get there. We said bye and I went onto my bus back home. I got home and I watched General Hospital from today with my mom. I had supper and we watched Our Cartoon President and I had ice cream. I then went on Blackboard and read in my textbooks and did some of the discussions. That took me a while. Then I did some stuff for Aphrodisa. 

At the end of the night I mentioned to my mom about how Jeff gave me his email so I can put that in my application and I was thinking in getting a reference from Professor Julie since I had her last semester too and I was also thinking in getting a reference from my boss at Market Basket. Now I had only worked there for a couple of weeks. I wasn't planning on asking him now. I was thinking about asking in November but that cause this whole thing between me and my parents. They yelled at me and there were crying. My mo says that since I am taking classes now at QCC to get my certificate then I should at least wait a few years, take it slow, and work for a while and then apply for graduate school. I didn't expect talking about who I was thinking for references will caused all of this. I do understand what my mom was saying. I just really want to go back to Salem State or at least the town. I don't want to feel like Rachel being stuck at Market Basket and not getting a job I really want and passionate in. I don't want to wait another few years. I originally decided to take a gap year after I graduated from Salem State. I still applied last year so that way I would have gotten accepted for this year. I had no idea what was going to happen in the future. I only had a semester off and because I had a hard time finding a job with the degree I gotten I ended up started to take classes at QCC in the Spring semester. I am working on my certificate for Early Childhood Education. 

I did applied for Salem State for a graduate certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorder before I started going to QCC and in March I found out I wasn't accepted. I decided to try again but instead go for a graduate certificate in Public History as well as going to apply to two other schools but for a masters in History. I understand where my mom is getting out. I just wished it wasn't like how it happen. 

I guess like my Aphrodisa story I should slow things down. I decided that I won't bother applying to the schools right now and just focus on getting my certificate. My goal now is to hopefully just have another gap year and hopefully by next year I'll be able to apply again for the next year. I just have to focus on my job at market basket and get paid. Hopefully I'll be able to give them money at some point too, to help pay with the tuition. I'm just afraid that things won't work out and I'll be stuck in Worcester living with my parents forever. I like living here and I love my parents but I want to be able to independent. That's why I been doing bus adventures while the buses are free. 

I had a good day today and I wished tonight didn't happen the way it did. I just can't help but to think about what I want to do and I like to plan things out. Going on these bus adventures help me to be able to live in the moment and just enjoy life which is something I struggle doing. I just wanted to include all that in here too. I am still trying to figure things out. I have work tomorrow.
