I know I haven't been updating much. I have been so busy lately. My life in a nutshell, I quit my job so now I can go to school full time. Yay. Unfortunately, I only have another month or so to enjoy unemployed bliss. When I get back from vacation (I will be gone the entire month of July), I am back to work. I need to save money so I can get the hell out of Florida. I finally got my promise ring back from Matt. It's only fair. I payed for half of it. He started this crap like he wanted to get back together. I told him no. That was a proud moment for me, considering I was pretty much devistated when I found out he was leaving me for someone else. School is going well. If I REALLY work hard, I can be out by January-ish. That means I will be taking school work on vacation with me. Oh well. The way it looks, I will have enough to move out by April. Seems like a long time now but it will be here before I know it. It will be so nice to be back home in Alabama. I think thats what's missing in my life. Being home. I have decided not to get into anything serious before moving. It only causes pain. Sure, I will date. But nothing like saying the L word or anything like that. I look back on my life and realise I have made some pretty big mistakes. If certain things wouldn't have taken place, I could be back home by now. However, I'm glad those things happened. They made me who I am, gave me experience and opened my eyes to different options. My dad always said that if experience doesn't cost you anything, it ain't worth a damn. Of course I will miss all my friends and will never ever forget you. You all have made me who I am today and tried to help me avoid some of the mistakes I have made. You were always right about everything, I was just too silly to see it at the time. Of course, I am not done learning (I always say you never stop learning until you are dead) and will still make mistakes. My kids will probably be like me, stubborn. I have always been the type of person that could be warned about something, know the consequences and STILL have to make the mistake on my own just to experience it for myself. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't care how far you have come, just where you started from. They still pull things out of the mental museum from years ago. My mom is like that. Anyway, I believe this has turned into a huge ramble. I am still reading everyone's journals and for the most part, it seems like everyone is doing well. That's good. My thoughts are with you and thanks for everything, you know who you are :-). Who knows, it could be another six months before I make another entry.
