Growing up
I love checking up on this journal and seeing where I was in life. Life is so good to me, and I am so happy to have persevered through everything. I am in a good place. My parents are doing so much better. They ended up leaving the house that brought them so many issues and are currently renting a house. It's not the nicest house ever but it's good for them, and they are able to be okay financially. Zorro sadly passed away on June 16th. It was the first day I was at leadershape. It was extremely sad, and I still get sad thinking about my Zorro, but he was in so much pain. He had gone through about 2 weeks of pure hell before we decided to put him down. I'm glad that he is no longer suffering. Carlitos got a hedgehog about a week ago. So strange. I am entering my senior year of college. Absolutely unbelievable. I have done great at UGA, and I have made so many great memories. I have a high GPA as of now, and I plan on making it go up. I wanted to go to Grad school right after I completed my undergrad, however as fate had it, i did awful on the GRE. I'm not passionate enough in a certain field to go straight into grad school I realized, so I think I have decided to take a year off. I have actually looked into teaching Spanish when I graduate, taking a break for a year and just making money and paying off loans, and then going to Grad school once I have realized that it is something I want to dedicate so much money and time to. I have actually also considered applying to Teach for America. We'll see what happens. I think that the fact that Michael wasn't the first thing that I decided to write about in this journal entry is a reflection of where I am in my life and the insane amount that I have matured. Now, I'll be honest, I still have a lot more maturing to do, but I am truly happy with myself. Me and Michael are together and doing fantastic. We have been together for 7 months straight now, and I hope to stay together as boyfriend and girlfriend until we decide to take that next step. We have both gone through our rough patches where I wasn't the best to him, and he wasn't the best to me, but it's all a part of growing up and being with someone during crucial times of their lives when they are changing and figuring who they themselves are. Michael is everything that I want in a partner, and all along, he is everything I have ever wanted, and I think that's why I stayed with him for so long even when I didn't feel as though I was being treated the way I should have been treated. Thankfully, we are both on the same level right now and know what to expect from each other. Anyway, I didn't think I would update this thing anymore, but I'd like to look back at this journal entry 10 years from now and say..WOW, that's what I was like! Until next time :)
