"But there's one day when you realize, you're not just a survivor..."
So.. it's been ages... 64 weeks to be exact.. according to the profile page. I got into the swing of using the blog on myspace over the past year... but deleted it a little bit ago. I kinda like LJ better. It's alot less distracting than myspace.
Well I'm in for (hopefully) my last year of college. At least as an undergrad. I'm kind of ready to graduate and move on with my life. I still love college... and I'll miss the college life, I think (no real job, etc)... but I need to move on. I'm still planning on getting a masters. But have decided to also get my real estate appraisers license within the next year. So hopefully, in the end, once all this school stuff is said and done, I'll come out with two bachelors degrees, a masters, and an appraisers license. I would like to end up getting a job that would pay for me to go back for the masters. That would be ideal. If not, once I start working and paying on my student loan then I'll go back as soon as I can.
I now have a puppy. He's a little under a year and a half years old. I adopted him from the Thomasville Humane Society back in January. I had been hesitant to get a dog, but I talked about it with my mom and she thought it'd be a good idea. His mom was a springer spaniel and his dad was a rottweiler. He's very sweet ... follows me around just about every place I go. He can be protective (I think he gets that from his dad) but he's mostly very sweet. My family, and neighbors here in J-ville, think that he was the runt. It does explain why his mom tried to eat him after he was born (he's even got a little scar on his tummy from that). His previous owners couldn't afford their new pet deposit, so that's how he ended up in Thomasville. They had named him "Ziggy" ... so I decided to keep the name. I figure, I wouldn't like it if I were adopted and someone changed my name. And he's already used to it. He's very sweet and I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful dog.
In other news, I'm still loving it over here in J-ville. I'm happy to be back by the beach again. I took Ziggy there yesterday and he loved it. There was a lot of foam from the water and he chased that a lot. I still like UNF, but I feel the need to start working, so I am praying all goes good so that I can graduate. I had a pretty good gpa until last semester 3.6... then I hit a really hard course so that brought me down to a 3.2something... I don't want to go below a 3. I wanted to graduate with a 3.5 but I'm struggling with two of my classes right now... I've never really been one to just pray to pass my classes ... but I'm seriously feeling that way right now. I just have to trust God and believe that everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
I have learned alot over here... I'm definitely a lot stronger of a person than I used to be. And that feels pretty good. I've kinda had moments where I've shocked myself by that in the past several months. More on that good stuff later. Off to bed... I'm getting back into my gym routine tomorrow morning. Yep.. 7:30 bright and early.
