I bought a car yesterday. A 2009 Burgundy HHR LT. I now have no money (really, I owe money because I took out a loan to buy the car) but I have a good car. I put down $2000 and the rest will be payed off in 5 years, if not sooner. So I guess that's my welcome to adulthood. Yikes. Good thing I'm living with my parent's while I student teach, so I won't have to pay rent. I'm really not that excited about living with my parents again, as much as I do love them. And I'm not that excited about living in Davison either, but there's no way I can make my car payment and pay rent while student teaching and not making any money. Student teaching should be a payed internship. Instead another teacher gets paid for us to do his/her job. Oh well. That's life.
I just had the strangest conversation. I feel uneasy, yet reassured at the same time. Weird. I wish I felt more on the reassured side than uneasy, but I can't say that's true. Hopefully the person the conversation was with will just forget it and brush it away like it never happened. That would be preferable. I should have kept my mouth shut. Which is also weird, because I haven't wished that in a while.
Here's a quote that just happens to be fitting for New Year resolution time, but really it should hold the same value every day:
To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions. ~William James
It's really true. If you are going to change your life, you have to make that decision and stick to it with all of your might. I don't know who William James is, maybe I should, or maybe I should have looked him up before using his quote, but, either way, he still said that beautifully. So if you are wanting to change your life, I suggest you take his advice.
Happy New Year.
I love you.
