Hello, Again!
Every once in a while I've thought about restarting this journal. I used to have a lot of fun with this and with the people who I am friends with on here. No other social networking site that I've signed up with has the main feature being the actual blog, but that is what makes social networking often the most rewarding is when you can not only keep up with a person's current activities, but also their thoughts, and to be able to share your own thoughts with them.
I think I'll go ahead and give it a whirl. So, for those of you still interested: I currently am still going through college. Would've probably finished by now had I..
1. Found a major I really enjoyed.
2. Had more interest.
I'm still working on the #1 part. Currently going for software engineering. I have to admit, at times I feel bad that all of my friends have already finished their degrees. However, I am who I am and was some sort of mixture of uninterested, immature, and/or distracted at the time I first began college. Most definitely distracted since I met Brian when I first came to college. That could easily be a blog within itself. Never ever feeling quite loved, always thinking I was going to be miserable my entire life and possibly a hermit, I was amazed by how much he loved me and it totally consumed me and became all I cared about for a couple of years. Anyway, I've taken way over 100 credit hours, trying to test out different areas. I don't quite understand how others feel compelled to one major or another.
As for #2: I've always kept at it, don't get me wrong. Sometimes, working full time and taking 2-3 hard courses was freaking killer at that as well. Why I chose to work full time instead of part at that point in my life, I have no idea. I guess sometimes you just make some random decision (when you're young especially) and then all of a sudden responsibilities stack up and it's hard to find a way out. Eventually the job in question moved from Dallas to Houston and I opted out of the move, so now I am once again focusing mainly on school. The main lack of interest is that I could care less about money and possibly even less about work. I suppose I have always been fun-loving and had a will of my own and thus find it hard to tie myself down to the thought of a career. It's actually almost scary to me.
Hmm.. anyways, as far as other things: I'm still with Brian, coming on five years. My family is pressuring me to marry him. We had always felt too young to adhere to such a commitment, but I am starting to feel less so whereas he continues to feel the same. I've been trying to stress to him the importance of it to me, if only to mend what I feel is a schism between myself and my own family (they are hardcore fundamentalist Christians, I'm a bit more lax). Both of us are currently unemployed, but that should not last too long. When we are more financially secure (I was thinking couldn't be more than a month or so from now), I'm hoping to convince him to buy me a ring. More like put my foot down on the subject. I mean there's no question that we both love each other, and I understand it's a huge commitment, but we both know we're not going anywhere, so why the hell not?
That should bring the journal up to date for the most part. There are, of course, plenty of minute and less minute details, but that is certainly my current life in a nutshell. Oh yeah, that and I play WoW a lot. Can't forget that.
If anyone was so interested as to read more of my blogs: After livejournal I went to myspace (username: Sklavier) and I have a number of blogs I wrote around the years of 2005-2007 or so (you may need a friend invite for some, not sure). Not trying to say they are brilliant and highly recommended, but more just to throw it out there.
