Put your head back in the clouds, and shut your mouth...
A little delayed, but this is my first post of the year 2009 in the common era. My future is rushing into my face on the horizon and I don't know if I'm ready for it. I know this is the typical "I don't wanna grow up" way of thinking but to me it's now more than that. I don't feel as if I am prepared, I don't feel as if I am accomplished, and I don't know what I'm going to do with my future. Grad school or real-world experience? Whatever comes my way I will make the most of it. I'll be damned if I end up working as an assistant principal at some school (sorry Mr. Hanley). I'm looking forward to the new year.
I was able to see my entire family over the Winter Break and they're all going to be coming back down to Fort Lauderdale soon. My aunt maybe as soon as February, but no time-frame for my mom just yet. My brother is putting himself on track. He's going to be applying to community colleges in Charlotte, and he's taking the SAT later this month. He'll probably transfer to a Florida school once they come back down, he doesn't want to stay up there.
I spent New Year's with Bianca and her family. It was a very crazy event but we survived and I was shown some very good hospitality. I was all over Florida this past Winter Break and I can't complain as to how it went because I had a lot of fun despite a lot of the shitty stuff that has happened to my family. My niece, nephews, and cousins had an amazing Christmas. I was able to dispense some feminist literature to the two eldest girls and they, and their mothers, were very receptive to the material.
I started my first back at UCF this week. My classes are all going to be amazing. I am going to try and become involved in research with one of my new professors. I'm creating a sort of vague idea as to an idea I would like to have with my research: The relationship between nationalist movements (and the motives behind them) in Latin America and how it affects relations with the United States.
I was entrusted with ordering some supplies for my club through the SGA at my school and ordering through this local supplier and I think I might've screwed the whole thing up so now I'm trying to juggle everything and everyone so that I don't screw UNA over. Here's to that! I'm learning to cope with my stress. I panic easily and jump to conclusions and terrible situations in my own mind and now I'm learning to just take it all in and breathe because what's the worse that could happen?
Here's to the New Year...Obama, don't fuck up.
