I walked out of work last night with mixed feelings knowing that I just finished my last night working in retail for a while. It was kind of that feeling, I am so glad to be done, but what the frick am I going to do now. Two years doesn't seem like much, but it was long enough for me. Most of the associates I worked with completely understood. I worked with a group that didn't always know how to make work enjoyable. How do you teach a 19-21 year old to take a part time job in retail seriously?

I am excited to be done. It will become more and more refreshing everyday. I gained a lot from what I did and a few lasting friendships will only continue to grow. The thing I will miss most is are those people that came in to shop. Over two years you learn and see how people live and change, that is what I will miss.

I know I did the right thing at the right time. I honestly don't know what I am going to do next. I start my third year of seminary next week. I am also coaching soccer for the time being and hope to substitute teach when possible. I am also going to enjoy not working nights and having weekends to do what I want.

Another chapter in my life done with.....kind of wonder what is next....
