I need to do something with my life! (Part II)
...so leaving off from the last blog:
After I mentioned how I had always planned on being a Police Officer, B admitted that she too had been interested in joining the force. Now we both started rambling about why we never joined and etc then looked down at the clock. We had been standing around talking for way too long and it was time that we got back to work.
B and I often would have random conversations like that...so I figured nothing would ever come of the situation. We had vented our frustrations, and now, it was time to move on and getting back to our boring lives working at Amazon.Well, a couple days later, I was speaking with Taz on the phone. We had broken up for a brief time just that day prior, and as far as anyone knew, the two of us were still fighting. So, when I got off the phone with her I said "I love you.", hung up, then noticed that B was right behind me. "Amelia...I need to talk to you." Like I said, B is much older than I am and when I heard that she had her 'Mommy' voice on, I felt like I was in trouble.
So, I walked over to her locker very slowly and said,"Yes? You wanted to talk to me?"Suddenly, B whipped around, grabbed my shoulders and yelled,"You're joining the Police Academy with me!"Wtf...?
It wasn't a question or request...it was a statement. B was all excited as she cried,"Yup! We are going to follow our dreams and become Police Officers so we can leave this dump and do something with our lives!"Which, I agreed that I needed to do something with my life...but when I mentioned being a Police Officer, I wasn't exactly sure if that's what I was going to do. But, B was for real when she said she wanted us to join the Police Academy together. So, next thing I know, I'm looking up the requirements to get in, the requirements to graduate, I'm contacting a recruiter and coming up with a workout plan. My goodness!
So yeah...But now all of a sudden B is having to have surgery and wont be able to work out for about a month. On top of that, you have to put in your application before your 36th b-day and B is already 35. So I have the feeling that if I do this thing...it's going to be me, myself, and I.And I've already gotten too deep into this thing to quit now.Haha thanks B...
Alright...that's it ^^

what ever happened to your dream to be a police officer?
I moved to Germany. Can\'t go to the Police Academy until I head back to the United States in the next 2-3 years :) Then I might look into it again---either that or go back to college to get a different career.
