So I have finally decided which college I’m going to: New York University. I’m entering their College of Nursing. I’m kind of disappointed at my financial package, and there’s nothing I can really do. :( With my University scholarships, grants, and federal aid, I would need to pay nearly 16K. This is not including room and board fees since I’m planning to stay at home. I definitely can’t afford that, but thankfully I have loans that cover the whole cost. I really need to work hard in college next year and hopefully my financial package will get better.

On another topic, I quit my job (@ O.M.G the Jeans store) after Spring Break ended. Reason? My manager is a jerk. I had finished my shift and asked to leave, but she asked me to stay for another ten minutes and I told her I couldn’t because I felt sick. During my lunch break I ate a Whopper Jr. from Burger King and I felt really sick. She got pissy at me and gave me an attitude, but allowed me to leave anyways. Just outside my apartment building I threw up. For the rest of the day, I threw up whatever I ate or drank. So the next morning I called to take the day off so I can visit my doctor. My phone call to my manager ended up in an argument and I quit over the phone.

I found another job a block away. Also at a clothing store. The working environment was much better, except the manager didn’t like me much. She kept telling me that I was working too slow (I worked the same pace as everyone else, some were even slower), and complained that I wasn’t making an effort to memorize where the clothes were put at. I knew where most of the clothes were at, and it wasn’t my fault when clothes were moved around every single day, so it takes a little time for me to find and memorize where they were. In addition, there were some people who didn’t know where ANY of the clothes were. I worked there for about two weeks, and she gave me this talk where she implied that she wanted me to leave.

I didn’t mind leaving there since I was planning to take a 4 day break since my Senior trip was later that week :p Pretty sure she would’ve been even more annoyed if I asked for a 4 day break. I will post up my senior trip experience in the next post.
