New Beginings

Well I'm sure you've all heard the news...
Kelsey's family restaurant burned down.
I've worked there for almost four years now and I have to say, when I heard the news, I felt pretty happy. I mean it's horrible that it burned down and all, but I felt as if a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.
I guess that's a sign that I wasn't happy in my job.
I already knew I wasn't happy there, but I hadn't realized how much stress it caused me. I didn't realize how much I dreaded going there.
I know lots of people would say I just should have quit but it wasn't that simple.
I knew the job, had some seniority (as much as you can have at a Kelsey's:) and I could work whenever I wanted which was convienient since I'm in school and need flexability. They let me work once a week and were very accomadating.
I stayed at the job because it was convienient and I only had to do it for a short time longer until I graduate.
But I felt such a sense of relief when I heard the news, I felt a bit ashamed. I've never really been big on the New Year's resolutions and what not, but I feel this is a new begining of sorts. This new begining coincides well with the UBBT which has officially just started.
I'm pumped right now.
I'm on track with my UBBT...I hit the ground running on Jan 1st. The 1000 pushups and situps got me going.
I'm filling out my application for grad school and meeting with my possible supervisor this week.

And Kelsey's burned down.
Yipee:)
