So I've had some thoughts lately and I thought I would share:
Kids: Working with kids everyday I see a lot of families and parents. I wonder sometimes, why do people have kids? I mean, is it really because they want kids or does it just happen. I'm being totally serious. It seems like some people have kids with absolutely no interest for them. They treat them like another bag they have to carry or a burden, rather than something really great that they wanted to have. I just hope that someday when I have children, I can feel the same way about them that I feel right now about having kids, excited and happy. I mean, right now I feel really excited about having kids someday. I think it's going to be so awesome. I just hope that I don't get set in that "whatever" way about kids that I see so many parents set in.
College: As most people know, I went back to start my masters at PC. Going back for this class was the 1st time since graduation that I had been at PC. It made me think of a lot of things. Like, what if I could do it all again? What if I could go back and be a freshman again? What would I do different? I miss college a lot and it isn't even college really, it's the carefree time that college was. I miss being able to live under a rock, I miss the fun of living with the girls, I miss taking weekend trips to bry's house. I think if I went back to college I probably wouldn't do much different though. I can't see myself morphing into a drunken college student or a totally involved person. I do think I wouldn't be so ultimately consumed with classes classes classes though. I mean honestly, I worked my ass off and graduated with top honors. But did it really have any impact on me getting a job? Probably not. As it was I had to sub. So I think if I could do it all again, I would definitely care about classes and grades, but I wouldn't focus so much on that.
Finally, I have decided that I need to stop flipping out on a daily basis about silly things. As almost everyone who knows me knows, I have the shortest fuse on the planet. And I tend to overreact in situations. But that is one thing that I am going to be working on. Why flip out about small situations? My new motto is take it in stride, deal with it, and be done. Hmmm, we'll see if it works out.
Oh and...I can't wait to buy a house!!
