Hello
Sometimes I feel like I should write here again, or journal again regularly. I think the big problem is time - since LJ became less active I spend a lot of social online time on Face Book. I do not know what would be more beneficial, however. Journaling has benefits but I 'socialize' more on FB....
School is going alright. I have a 4.0 so far, and found a happy medium by taking 3 classes a semester. Have no idea when I will graduate (this is probably my 3rd semester as a junior) but that is of less concern than being able to go to school in general.
I had a good Christmas and New Year. I drove out to New Mexico to visit and spend Christmas with my sister and family. Kal(ahari) flew into the airport a few hours before my mom flew out, in order to make the drive back to Michigan with me. We had a really great time, including spending New Year's on the road. That trip was safe and fun, however a few days after Kal flew back to GA, I was headed to my mom's from Kalamazoo and was in my first accident. I got off an exit to tell her that it wasn't safe to drive the rest of the way due to the weather and ice, and that I was going to turn around. About a mile back on the road, my tires lose traction on ice and I went off the highway a ways. I was physically okay but took a while to get over it emotionally, I was pretty anxious and depressed. It was unclear if I would be able to go into my class last week for the first day, but I made it with the help of some medication. I am now in the process of repairing the truck, which is currently not drivable due to a flat tire. I think I can keep driving it once the tire is fixed and I buy some duct tape, the worst is a large dent behind the driver where I hit a tree on the side (ended up perpendicular to the road).
Without a car I do not have safe transportation to the hospice I am volunteering at doing laundry, so unfortunately I can't do that until the truck is drivable. Which is really disappointing. Also, I do not have my cat Rosie with me at the apartment since that trip to my mom's was partly to pick her up. So it is kind of lonely around here for now, but I am dealing with it.
That is how 2015 is going so far. Not awesome but could be worse.
