(no subject)
I seriously need to get my teeth cleaned. They’re not hideous, by any means… but it’s just one of those things that irks the nerves… Dental hygiene has always been a top priority on my list. I just like the legitimacy of going to the dentist and getting everything okayed…. And it’s really funny how it can lighten my mood knowing that my mouth is so fresh and so clean clean.
According to this here journal, I haven’t seriously updated since 2005. Wow. A lot has happened since then.
College graduation, moving on in life, moving away from home, moving back, brother getting married, etc.
Let’s just say, Lynchburg College was one of the best things that has happened in my life.
I’m the type of person who takes to heart and really values the people that I meet… and during that time, I met so many amazing people that I never want to lose touch with.
Where I am now and where I’ve been since then…. South Carolina. It was definitely a growing experience and a move I’m glad I made. I figured out what I want to do while living in the Palmetto State… teaching little kids and incorporating art as well as psychology.
I reallllly really enjoyed living so close to Augusta, which was a beautiful little place. I got to work at the Masters Golf Tournament at Augusta National, meet some amazing people, and live a life away from home, which was something that I wanted so badly at the time.
Long story short, I loved it down there, but was extremely home sick and knew that I wanted to go to VCU for grad school.
It was so hard to leave SC and GA… I felt so bad for leaving the friends and coworkers that I had met down there. I worked a couple different jobs, and loved every bit of being out on my own. But for some reason, home was calling me back. I know a big part of it had to do with my mom moving back home…
I’ll go into the logistics later on.
But as of now, my current problem is my job.
I’m an assistant to the managing broker at an international real estate firm in Deltaville… I know, sounds kinda like a big deal for such small place…. Don’t get me wrong… the money is good… but it’s not for me. The office is an old doctor’s office… It’s usually me, my boss, her husband who is an agent, and another lady in the office. It gets boring. I really don’t like sitting in front of a computer all day, ya know. I thought I wouldn’t like graphic design because of that… but I’d much rather be sitting in front of a computer creating and designing something rather than researching properties, comparing prices, and fixing typos.
They’re offering to pay for me to get my real estate license, which I’m going to do. My boss said that even if I don’t stay with them, she still wants me to have it because it will be really useful in the future. I just feel obligated to stay there and pursue real estate when I get my license, when I know that’s not what I want to do yet. However, part of me really thinks that not staying there would be stupid… because selling those types of properties would be very VERY profitable. Plus, I know a lot about the land and waterways around here… and know a lot of very important people that could help.
I’m still waiting to hear back from VCU for the masters program in art education. I feel that my letter of intent was exceptional, my portfolio was very conceptual and very well put together, and that my references were on point. I felt lucky to have five wonderful people (past professors and coworkers) recommend me for that program.
The deadline was last Tuesday and I sent everything in well over a month ago.
We’ll see.
Part of me still wants to move to a big city, NYC maybe, just to live the big city life and get out of the small country scene for a while. Though, I, as well as other people, think that this place will be like the Hamptons in a short amount of time. Being in the real estate business and looking at the prices and the type of people who’ve been buying property around here, I think it’s very easy for this place to turn into the Hamptons.
Anyway… I’ve always been one that can’t commit to a long-term decision. I love home and I have a lot going for me here… but, it’s kind of not cultured enough for me, ya know? I want to explore something new everyday… meet people I haven’t known since birth… design things that I’ve always wanted to… take different classes… all of those things.
I know I need more sleep… I really do. I just feel like I have so much to worry about. I feel like I need to be the rock that everybody needs. I want to be there to make things better for everybody… and trying to do that is draining me… but any little thing I can do to make things easier for somebody, I’m there in full force.
More later. I have a lot of filling in to do.
I SERIOUSLY need to start reading the LOTR trilogy… I’ve been trying for 3 years but haven’t committed to the very, very large book yet.
Oy…
G’night xoxo
