Lindsay – Chapter XVIII
Lindsay always wanted to become an accountant. However, it was a lot easier to say than to do… In order to become an accountant, she had to go back to university and earn another degree. The degree she had was in Fine Arts and it was pretty much useless to her. What could she do with a Fine Arts degree? The problem was that she changed her mind about being an artist halfway through her undergraduate years… too many starving artists she thought.
But because she lost interest and also because of the tragedy that happened to her, she got bad grades in university. Of course with a low GPA (grade point average) her chances to eventually become, for example, an accountant were slim to none. So in between of crying over all the photographs which burned away, she was considering getting a certificate. She could get one at a private college or at the continuing education faculty of a renown university. Most continuing education departments had lower standards of admission than the strict requirements for enrolling in an actual degree…

She knew she had to go back to school to get the necessary skills to land a better job. She felt like she was wasting her time as a waitress with a B.A. (bachelor of arts). She asked the other waitresses and waiters about their education and found out that she was the only one to have graduated from university.
On the personal side of her life, she and Brandon moved fairly quickly into being girlfriend and boyfriend. He even told her that he loved her, but she said nothing in return. She did not believe him as it was way too soon, according to her and common sense, to use such a strong word. She believed feelings took time to develop and she also thought that she was better off keeping her guard up.
