school: i have decided to leave SIUC at the end of the spring. leaving carbondale was my initial goal and i feel that where i am at right now greatly impacts my feelings about school. it isn't that the program i am involved with isn't good, it's just in the wrong city. i am currently applying to university of louisville, but i plan on actually going to work down there and holding off until fall 2011 to complete my masters. come may, i will be about halfway done with the class load required for a masters student, but will barely have the proposal for my thesis done. who cares right? yeah. i don't even know if i want to do sociology anymore. i feel that this qualitative methods class will definitely aid me in that decision. i want to go to the university of louisville, so i am going to make it happen. if i can't make it happen, i am thinking of finding a fast track teaching certificate. me, teaching 7th grade reading, ala miss hollingsworth. [remember her cristina and trisha? we had her class at kenny guinn and we read 'a tree grows in brooklyn'. i remember liking her a lot because she liked the barenaked ladies and told us how she went to shows a lot.]
moving: so i have decided to move away from carbondale. starting january 1st, i am saving half of every paycheck and $2000 of my federal funding to start a moving fund. keep in mind i am going to be broke as fuck, but it's worth it. i am going to try to go somewhere fresh. louisville, san fran, seattle, austin? it will probably end up louisville. have to find a job. i really want the peace corp to call me.
speaking of which, peace corp: i submitted an application and i have been waiting. patiently. for a yes or a no. whatever. hurry the fuck up america.
death: i never posted anything here but i lost a very close friend/brother/roommate on september 27th, 2009. he was 22 1/2 years old to the day. he was a veteran, my brother, and my best friends soulmate. he left us far too soon. i thank and appreciate summerlin hospital for what they did, but i guess it was just his time? i didn't mention anything because i wasn't fully ready to talk about it and i don't know if i am really right now. i can tell the story, but it's just the same emotionless thing. just know that i miss my brother very much. i love him and i have him with me every part of the day.
boys/girls/sex life/dating life: fuck it. waste of time. :)
