letting time pass. .
Today seemed to be the longest Monday I've had for the longest time. Though I still dread the drive to Bakersfield, I must admit that for the past few months have gone quite quickly. I have truly gotten use to being here. I can recall feeling the same about my first year of college. Riverside was new and I wished I didn't have to make that awful drive back Sunday afternoons. However, as time past Riverside became my new home and the strong relationships weakened as my friendships developed in Riverside. Does that mean the same is to be destined for Bakersfield. I hope not. Though both cities are dead, I was in Riverside to earn an education. Bakersfield is merely a stopover before I get into my next university. The programs I am interested in begins in September, so I have decided to stay for work until the end of July. That is if I am accepted into these programs.
Back to the topic of the blog. I only have four months until I can give my farewells to Bakersfield. I am certain it will be difficult to say goodbye to the people I have spent the last year, but it is a necessary pain. I can recall my first few weeks here. I spent my free time doing anything I could to keep my mind off the reality of living in Bakersfield. First I scheduled my year, setting up goals for myself to accomplish throughout the year. And after each were completed, I would be saying goodbye. However, along the way these were not good enough. So I set smaller goals for myself. Such as looking towards every paycheck. I am paid every other week. So after two pay checks a month would be over. I used tricks like this to pass the time.
Thinking this through, this seems to be a failure of a blog. Not sure what I was trying to accomplish with this. But I guess some good advice could come out of this. Work for the small achievements in your life, and soon they can develop into something great.
