Happy Thanksgiving!!
I'm going to copy Fox and do a "Here is what I'm thankful for" post...as he so aptly put it, "This is where I express gratitude for the things that keep me from lighting random buildings on fire." Couldn't have put it any better myself. On with the list!
1.) I'm grateful for whatever serendipity (or plain old dumb luck) it was that brought me to NEIU this year. Obstacles have come and gone in the past regarding school and I feel like I've finally found the right fit as far as college goes. I'm actually learning and enjoying my classes, which hasn't happened since I was in highschool and taking Band and Choir.
2.) I'm thankful for all my friends, both old and new. I've had so many fantastic highs and bullshit lows this year...some of you have stuck by me (or been stuck with me, haha...I'm looking at you, Amy! Screw TaxRite!!) through it all since Day One, and others I have just had the good fortune of meeting this semester. Whatever the case, I love you and cherish you and I wouldn't have been able to come as far as I have (or be able to sustain the motivation to keep going) without your support.
3.) I don't think he'll ever see this but I'm so thankful for Pvt. Joshua (Clint) Hadden. He's made such a difference in my life in the year that we've shared, I feel like a different person. He's the reason I'm still in school right now, the reason I "drive on" when life's nonsense tries to get the better of me. It's because of him that I am more confident in myself and my abilities and I honestly can't imagine what my life would be like without him in it.
4.) I'm grateful for my family and the fact that they're always there for me when I do something stupid and need help. I bitch and moan and gripe about them a lot, but when it comes down to it, family is family and we love one another no matter what. I wish I could have a better relationship with some of them, but there's been irreparable damage there and I'll take what I can get.
5.) I'm thankful that I have a job right now, even if there is constant drama and I'm finding it hard to deal with some of my coworkers. There are thousands of people out there that don't even have a job to complain about, and I'm going to try to do a better job of remembering that.
6.) I'm thankful to the United States of America for electing Barack Obama as the 44th president!!!! Woohooo!!!!!
7.) This one's a little silly, but I'm pretty grateful for Darren Hayes for making such fantastic music. He helps me articulate my emotions when I think I'm going crazy and I can't figure it out on my own, which is always nice.
Ok, I'm pretty sure I covered everything in this little love-fest. But I'm sure I'll think of more to add later.
