And so here we are....
It's been a long time since I've updated. At least I think it has. I can't remember the last time I updated and I don't usually go back and read my entries, well I do when I'm feeling nostalgic and I'm not right now, but I digress.
I wrote awhile back that I challenged myself to read 50 books this year. Now, normally I give up on these silly resolutionsm but I for once I haven't. I passed the halfway point about two weeks ago and am now up to 28 books. I won't lie and say that these books were anything substancial, mostly chick-lit books, but I read them nonetheless and I'm proud of the fact that I actually stuck to one of my New Year's Resolutions.
But that wasn't the only resolution I kept this year. I also said that I wanted to figure out what I wanted out of life and that I needed to do something with my life instead of being a lazy bum. So I decided that I was going to go back to school and finish up my degree in Art History. I applied back to UM-D and I was accepted (quel surprise!). Now I am just waiting on financial aid to come through. On the plus side of things, you know besides doing something with my life besides being a lazy bum, I get to defer my student loans again and incur more! And so it is back to the land of all night studying, writing papers that really don't make sense but still get a decent grade, skipping class because you're just too tired to bother and finally getting to campus only to discover that there is no where to park at all and you have to park in freakin' B.F.E. behind the Field House.
But for the first time in a long time (even before I got my first degree), I feel excited and good (well the past week is the exception since I was sick, which I attribute as my body's response to my decision to put it through all that again, especially all the coffee....). And damn anyone who thinks I'm insane for doing this and damn anyone who thinks that I'm wasting my time. I may be certifiable, but at least I'm happy.
and so here I am, finally starting to be happy. that is something that I can live with.
