Start living the life of the person you want to be.
2012 was... an average year for me. Nothing particularly life-changing happened, good or bad. I had some good times, and I had some bad times. Rob went through a lot of shit, like being forced to live on his own in the span of a single week, but for me? It wasn't a horrible year by any means, but it wasn't a totally amazing year either.
I'm going to try to change that.
As soon as I qualify for grant money (which probably won't be until 2014, actually), I'm going to try to go back to school. It all depends on how much money I can get, as the school I'd want to go to is a little far from my house and it'd be a really awful commute every day (two buses and an hour and a half of travel time awful), so it'd have to be enough to cover both tuition and dorming -- plus there's the issue of my loans increasing around that time, and I'd like to still be paying them so the interest doesn't increase even more in the four years I'll be in school, so I'd have to still have a job. But, if I can figure all of that out, I'm definitely going back, and I will most likely major in Theater Production, with a minor in Creative Writing if I can.
I don't want to become complacent. I don't want to get stuck working in a grocery store for shit pay for the rest of my life. It's fine for now, but I can't let myself get trapped here. I have to start living the life of the person I want to be.
