But, this is what you get from dropping out of university...twice. My last day is Friday and I'm needing to find another equally unchallenging, ok paying job to feed my travelling, yarn and paper addictions. I am really fed up with how boring my work life is and I need a challenge. I don't mind working hard, if I feel like I am appreciated and getting something back from it. So, I have decided to take an online event planning course and become a professional wedding/ party planner. It is what I love to do and I don't really care if it only pays as much as I make now because I'll be having infinatly more fun helping people create magic. At least, this is my plan until I have a family and stay at home with my little ones for a few years. <BR/><BR/>It is scary to just quit your job and do something else, but you never know what else might be out there for you.

I hate almost everything about the process of becoming a doctor, and a lot of things about being a doctor, mostly related to the healthcare infrastructure we have. However, I love doing it on a minute-to-minute and patient-by-patient basis. And even though staying awake for 30 hours straight SUCKS, getting to sleep for 18 hours straight afterward is kind of nice (that's what I did this weekend and why I haven't commented sooner).Holly Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448257097008782861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906032051076130258.post-74068901010404369352008-08-23T13:09:00.000-07:002008-08-23T13:09:00.000-07:00I teach Kindergarten.I love the job...
