What do you want?: life, money, and love
So yesterday was my last day of work, and I'm going to miss it. At the graduation dinner for the program on Thursday my dad was talking to someone and he told them he could tell that I was hooked. He said coming home from work at the end of each day I was the most content he had ever seen me. He's right, I loved my job this summer. Jarid, the foreman I worked for, offered me a job once I'm in the apprenticeship program. I've decided that construction is what I'm going to do as a career. Thirty dollars an hour, retirement, and full benefits is too good to pass up, plus I enjoy the work. I know it's not exactly the easiest thing to do, but I want to do it. I know what I'm doing after high school, all I have to do now is manage to graduate. One thing that made this program even more of a great experience is that for the first time, at least that I can remember, My dad told me that he's proud of me. I smiled all the way home from the dinner.
The trip that Ashley and I wanted to go on isn't really seeming to work out too well, she got a no for driving to Newport. It's too dangerous apparently. Bullshit. So I think we're going to try for Seattle. I went to Seattle once when I was like 5 or 6, when my dad lived there, but I don't really remember anything. So we'll both get to experience it for the first time together. I really hope this one works out, I want to take this trip before I have to go start work at Domino's. I want a vacation, I think it would be good for Ashley too, and I want to be able to go somewhere just her and I.
Oh, I managed to not acquire any injuries while I was working, until the last day. Ironic? I split my thumb open, an 18 foot 2x4 landed on it. It's no big deal though, because I did it. And I know that this next statement makes me sound like a little kid but I want to say it; to Cord and to everyone else who told me I couldn't do it. Fuck you, I made it through.
