My one entry of the year...
Wow. I can't believe it's been about a year and a half since I've been to this page. As is likely the case with most of the ppl I have as "friends" on this thing, so chances are no one will even see this, but I don't really care. =) I've been inspired to update this darling little livejournal of mine because of a movie I watched last night. Julie & Julia. Pathetic, right? I can't help it, I forgot how wonderful it is to type on this keyboard freely and just spew out whatever thoughts come into my mind. So here I am, in my PJ's, watching Finding Nemo, and reminiscing on my life over the last few months in the form of "blogging" (as much as I dislike that word).
OCCUPATION: I got a job. Like a real, grown person, in-my-field, adult job that I can keep once I finish my sentence at SJSU. How do I like it? I LOVE it! I am in a position to be able to help a lot of kids and actually get a chance to see the progress I've (hopefully) made with them. My schedule is practically whatever I make of it and I have an incredible amount of flexibility to fit in my school schedule. I really enjoy my co-workers and my boss is super laid back and supportive. I have health insurance (which wasn't the case for 2.5 years), and an influx of cash that I was missing terribly. I truly couldn't have asked for a better place to work, especially while I finish my very LAST semester of college. (Is that crazy, or what?! Where did time fly?) I am so very blessed to have gotten the job when I did and I couldn't be happier. =D
EDUCATION: This week was the first week of classes and I'm in for a heck of a semester. 5 classes, 3 of which require an immense amount of reading and writing and I'm really hoping to do well in all of my classes because they are all interesting to me (with the exception of 1). This is the first semester where I am going to school full time at the same time that I am working full time, so I guess I can go out with a bang. =) These next few months are going to be my trial run of how I will do when I go back to grad school. (Scary!) I just can't wait until I receive that diploma!
RELATIONSHIP: Tommy and I are doing really well. Almost at the 2 and a half year mark and it is really amazing how long ago that seems, yet also feels like I just met him. We are living together now and I'm shocked at how easy the transition was. It became more official over time and sometimes we drive each other crazy and other times we can't be torn apart, which I think is normal for ppl who live together. His friend moved in to take the place of our dearest "son" and I still have "empty-nest syndrome" cuz I can't get used to the new roommate. He's the total opposite of Steve and I've just kind of written him off as an occasional house guest, since he's only here every other week. As long as he's keeping up with the bills and not making a mess I guess I really shouldn't complain too much. Anyway, hopefully things continue to go well between Tommy and I so we can get our own place someday. =)
And I think that's all the energy I have for tonight. I will aim to come back here sometime in the not-so-distant future. =)
