An update in order...
Its been awhile and once again in a matter of three weeks so much has changed, happened, and been just absolutely wonderful...
-Classes...still working bit by bit on that Master's Degree, in my studies I have encounterd a pompus old miser who is making things harder than what they actually need to be. In 2 weeks he thinks he has figured me out and is trying to gain an advantage on me...there are days where I loathe him and that class but then again I like a good challenge and somewhat like the adversity he is giving me...he makes fun of the fact that I am a reporter and work for a newspaper. He seems to tell me that I will be outdated and people will not rely on printed papers anymore. Seeing as he was around for the invention of the press I am amazed at his conclusions, papers are still going strong and his old wrinkly butt should know that. I am looking forward to finals here in the next couple of weeks and being rid of him and that class, but I am sure to my luck that I will have to encounter his sour-self sometime in the near future. Se-la-vi.
-Work...I couldn't have asked for a better start to such a fresh and new career. I just found out the other day that I am no longer considered a temporary employee and my permanent appointment is lingering in the wings...I am ecstatic...it feels good knowing that my hard work is paying off and to see my name in print every week is not getting old yet whatsoever. My editor has become my mentor and his wisdom and shere caring for my work is making coming to work everyday so worth while. I feel some days that I should just pinch myself and have everything come to a halting end...but I don't think I will.
-Life...its good. I am looking forward to getting my first real place very soon here...I am thinking I might move out a little earlier than expected, but we shall see...i should gobble up every opportunity to save money at the present time and I think I will. I went to Olivet not to long ago and caught up with a bunch of different friends. I had so much fun but then did quickly realize that when you don't live there any longer life moves on and things change tremendously...I am sad to not be a part of the many things that go on but then again happy to be a part of the real world and to have money, family, and a job. But I can't help but miss all the good times and all of my wonderful friends. I got the opportunity to go to the Marine Corps birthday ball a couple of weeks ago. I went without a date and any intentions of actually dancing the night away in the arms of a handsome man...but the best things in life happen unexpectedly and I ran into the most amazing and wonderful person that I could have. My pops was so busy that evening and he took the time to be a gentleman and asked my father if it was ok to dance and have fun with me. I danced the night away... I could divulge in all the details of me and him...but I don't want to...bottom line...probably one of the most fun and just all around wonderful people that I have ever been involved with and he nor I have any intentions of ending it soon.
All in all things are good, I can't complain and I feel happier than I have been in a really long time
