It's been a little while, hasn't it? I've been so busy. I started culinary school a month-and-a-half ago and I absolutely LOVE it. There is no doubt in my mind that I am doing exactly what I'm meant to do. The only tough thing is that it's very time consuming. I work M-F from 8:30-5, then go to school from 6-10, full time. It's a long, hard, tiring week but I have tremendous faith that it will be worth it... It's strange, I feel like this new schedule is straining on relationships and being able to keep up with a lot of people and things, but at the same time, I feel that the ones that are the most important have just naturally stayed well. It's funny how when something's right in your life--be it people, things, situations--it just doesn't take a lot of work; it often comes naturally.
As for the boy, I think things have been pretty good between us. With my limited time, he seems more appreciative of my presence--go figure. I am going to his family's for Thanksgiving, and his brother and sister-in-law have invited the both of us to visit them in Manhattan sometime in December.
Right now I am worried about little except for my own future, and somehow, I am happier that way. I'm content right now, for the first time in a long time. Perhaps because I am too busy to sit down and pick apart what is wrong in my life; or perhaps because I am truly putting all of my heart in something and working towards something that I know will benefit ME, rather than putting all of my heart into other people and situations I can't control.... It's nice.
