When life hands you lemons, grab the tequila and salt.
Well, it's official. I've neglected my livejournal, as well as the outside world. I believe this will be my last journal entry from this exact room as I prepare to move out next week. Kinda sad and somber, but a bit exciting as I anticipate what the next year may hold. Even so much as what the next 3 months may hold.
I, myself, have fallen into a unique group of college students. As most of us know, many college students are working toward some specific degree. However, some are just workin toward a degree period. Quite often, we run across those who are pursuing something pre-med. We find those who are following through with their dreams in another major. But very few times do we run across people like me. Yes, that's right, the double-major. Over the next 3-4 years, yours truly will be working towards two degrees. A business degree and a psychology degree. On top of that, it looks as if I'll be doing one of many things, which may be: going to grad school to pursue another degree in business, going to med school to become a doctor (of psychology, of course), or getting totally off track and doing something crazy. Whatever my choice may be, I know what I'll be doing for the next few years and that pleases me to no end. I finally have direction in my life. Now the hard part is not steering off the road or making a wrong turn.
In only one more week, I will be moving out for the summer. Yes, back home with my parents for 3 months. Complete social shock, but that's ok. I guess I have become very comfortable with leading my own life, being responsible for myself, and having personal control over my decisions, expecially concerning when I decide to stroll into my room after a long day. I'm anticipating summer, especially some of my plans for after summer classes. However, it's a bit bittersweet knowing that my time in Thompson is now over, as well as my time with the 3 lovely ladies I room with, and the many great friends in the hall. Life's like that though, always pushing for change so we shall take it with a grain of salt, and move on gracefully.
As many of you know, my time with Justin is complete. The sadness has ceased, the despair has disappeared, and some questions remain unanswered (however, that seems best). I realize that the impact he has made on me has definitely molded some aspects of my life, but even I knew deep in my heart that it wasn't gonna last forever. I can say that with confidence now, because sometimes you just know. I mean, yeah, I'm sure I coulda married the guy someday, but there were way too many dramatic moments and things blown outta proportion to be anything feasible. It takes some strength to admit that to all of you, even more so to admit it to myself.
Happy to share that there is a new guy in my life, and allow me to quickly clarify and firmly state that he is not a replacement for Justin. Nothing of the kind. He's not a rebound or anything of that sort. I've had enough time to get over Justin before considering entering into something new . . . . and I'm ready. :) We'll see how this goes. All looks positive from here, though I'm sure that the next 3 months will put us to the test. But the 9 months that follow together, will be worth the 3 months apart. This one feels genuine.
On to other things:
All is well with school, finals are creeping up quickly. Yes, oxymoron, I know. Work is good. Sorority, good. All things in my life are pleasant. This is a good, definitive change. It's been a long time coming, and a long time in the making.
So this concludes another of my journal entries..the last from Thompson, ever. Another chapter closes in my life, only to open to a new chapter this fall. That of a second year junior, pusuing a double major in business and psychology with established happiness. Things don't seem so bittersweet now.....only sweet. :)
Until next time all. . . .
