2012 - A New Perspective
I started 2012 off right - a masquerade at my favorite bar with a live band and a ton of cool people. The night started off badly - dinner was terrible (and overpriced as always), plus I ate with the most boring people in our little ragtag bunch. But I didn't want to be stuck home then go to the bar by myself, so it was what it was. I spent the night making new friends, chilling with the old ones and just feeling like I was on track again for the first time in a long time.
Sure, my job situation still isn't but it's the foot in the door I needed and I'm hoping that I'll go far with the experience I get. I'm in grad school (mostly out of boredom and lack of stability at the time I applied), so I get a lot of good social interaction with save the world types. This semester I signed up to take this horrific certification exam in my field, but if I pass, the sky's the limit on my ability to move up in the world. I also keep saying I'll finally get some actual writing done, but that has yet to come into play (especially now).
I remember at the start of 2011, things had been pretty bleak and I was just holding on for dear life. It was rough after leaving college and falling into every bad experience possible. Isn't that how the story goes though? We pick ourselves up... eventually. I feel like I can face the day again. I've gone from nothing to do to not having time to do anything. I did fulfill several major goals though - grad school and changing into the job field I wanted to be in. Now they're talking about training us for bigger things and I can't help feeling overwhelmed by it all. Well, there goes all the writing I thought I'd get done.
Also, thanks to my co-worker, I now have an obsession with dark purple nail polish. I only wear clear, so this is a strange turn of events for me. Even stranger is that my brother former Mr. "books are only good as doorjambs" has now fallen for classic literature. He also thinks I should have my ass kicked for not writing my story about renegade bloggers back in 2009 considering what's going on now.
These are some strange days that lie ahead...
