An updated picture of Lon.
Well hello there friends and LiveJournal users. It seems yet another odd link has drug me back into this forum, so I feel the necessity to post again. So without further ado, my life in a page or less.
School has come full circle, I am back in Orlando attending UCF in the Summer and Fall. SO far I've registered up for 20 credits, but I need 24, so I'm still looking for the last one to fill that niche. I'm still on a psychology track and UCF has a better program than FIU I've come to find. A bachelors of science as opposed to arts, and then a Clinical Master's Degree instead of a Masters in Counseling. Not that either wouldn't have landed me right where I wanted to be, but this one is certainly more flexible as to adding on a PhD and to what sort of jobs I am able to take on.
As for work, I've been working full-time at Disney as a Kilimanjaro Safari driver since December. It's cool being so close to the animals I've admired from a distance for so long, but it does get monotonous, the same 3.4 miles 12-18 times a day. We're getting a new spiel though that I'm getting trained on this week, so hopefully that will help. It's only $7.00 and hour, but the hours are great and I've been able to amass a small fortune to pay for gas, education, cell phone and seeing Trevor.
Speaking of Trevor...He and I broke up in late February, it was stupid on my part and most of it had to do with petty arguments we had frequently and the distance issue. I found myself in the arms of a friend from the past whom I once wanted as more then a friend, but when I found myself in that position, despite that he and I had none of the differences that led to Trev and my squabbles, there was no spark. That's when I realized how petty I had been. So, after much agonizing and thought I reached a simple conclusion, I had to be with the man I loved for as long as possible. If he and I could see past the small things and simply appreciate the true and unbridled passion we had for one another then all things would fall in line. I also realized, with the help of my little brother, that it doesn't matter what we anticipate for our future two or more years down the line, a lot can change in that time so we should not deny the love we have for certain now, for a future that is uncertain. Suffice it to say he and I are back together and I'm a very happy person once again, everything in my life is on the up.
So, I guess that's it, I'm back in school, making some decent money and loving every fleeting second I can spend with the man of my dreams. I do hope life is treating you all as well as it seems to be for me.
Thanks for listening,
Lon
