Mom's usually are looking out for your well being. And it can only help with college applications trust me. I'm sure whatever you want to do, knowing french will help immensly thats why i'm taking it now...even though I suck so much at its ridiculous. Whats with all those letters that you don't pronounce?! Sorry i was better in spanish, I could get the accent down no problem, probably because I watched West Side Story one too many times ;)
Back to Memoirs of a Geisha, I didn't get a chance to read it but I did see the movie and I thought it was incredibly well done. I was able to follow it without reading the book, and now its on my list of things I need to read, right after Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Again, changing the subject just a tad  :sweatdrop:
As most of you may know, I have a job at a fast food restaurant, and I absolutely hate this job with a passion! Now, this was at the first location. For those of you who know me more personally, I was transferred to a different location; my college.
My job is located on campus, and I work on average 18-20 hours a week. It's not the worst job in the world, but for a person that hates fast food, I really can't stand it. Today, in the mail I received a letter from my college. I'll type it out so you all can see. I really need some advice on this.

If you are selected as a PA, you will begin training in June in preparation for the Orientation programs. We look forward to your participation.
I want to accept this postion, and at the same time I don't. I still don't like my job, but I do like the people I work with. My manager respects me, and I like the customers. At the same time I want to take this job because it will actually help me to become a teacher. I'll have experience in tutoring, and assisting other students, and you all know that I love to help other people. I need your help on this minna-san. I think this might be what I've been looking for to get me out of my depression rut, but I'm not certain. What do you all thing? I'd like your insight.
Jeannette:
I'd take it. I'm sure there will be nice people on you new job too, and you can always go back and visit. This opportunity seems too good to pass up to me.
Miss Jenni-Maie:
I think the change would be good for you! You need something fresh in your life right now!
Like Jeanette said, you'll meet new nice people for this job, too. So no worries about that!
And there's always room for more experience, right?
