cardigan girl

when i first registered for college at gcsu, i listed my major as history. primarily because i loved it, and also because i really had no idea what else to put. i graduated from highschool early (in december 05 instead of may 06) and decided to live in chile for the next semester. i came back from that a changed girl. i fell in love with the latin american culture and immediately decided that i absolutely *must* learn the language! so i began college in the fall of 06 and changed my major to spanish as soon as i figured out how. i am now a spanish major/photogrpahy minor, and have been for about a year and a half now. i interned at a local middle school for class credit and decided that i hated kids (at least the ones in clarke county...aka the armpit of ga...) so with the teaching idea gone, i was really unsure of what else i'd be good at.

a month or so after my internship experience, i found myself sitting in a bank of america. i had won the cell phone switch (neal had to change from verizon to att) and neal had won the bank switch (i had to move from boa to wachovia) so i went to the local bank of america and proceeded to close my savings (allllll $15 of it) and checking accounts (which were also empty...) at the time, i overheard some employees talking about how they had some hispanic lady come into the bank crying because she had lost *what they thought she was saying* her purse...however it turned out she had lost her kid, and nobody was able to understand her. ok all this to say, i inquired if they needed a spanish-speaking employee, and now, 4 months later, i am an official employee of that same bank! i can wear all the cardigans i want (which, based on what is in my closet at the moment, you might as well start calling me "cardigan girl"...) and keep my nose ring (which my mom has yet to get used to) so as i embark on this new chapter in my life, i look forward to the career i will be building, the staff and customers i will be getting to know, and most of all- the awesome shoes i now have an excuse to buy!
