Welp, I honestly thought my LJ would have been shut down long ago due to inactivity...but here we are. I just completed a second master's degree two weeks ago and have started a new job.

Life!
Time flies when you're pushing toward goals. It seems that everything other than school has been put on hold while I work to finish up the latest degree. This year I've even quit my job to focus on finishing up...not sure if that is a wise thing or not, and there's something weird about being a full-time student again, but I love the classes. And ( Read more... ) -
Running on empty
Working and full-time studenting + parenting is like a special kind of hell. But all in all, a kind of rewarding hell :) I finished one degree in December and a second in May - now it's moving on to the next level. I've already enrolled at the school and I think I'm going to like it plus a lot of my classmates from my current school are also moving ( Read more... ) -
More change
I feel like I'm all over the place these days, some good things, some not good things, all of it change and challenges for me to face.
The good -- new job which I love (the bad -- the pay >.<) but if it works into a fulltime position the benefits will be amazing even if the pay will still be lacking. I was asked for a 2-year commitment when I was ( Read more... ) -
Whew!
Life has been very interesting lately, but busy. I have been in training in my new job - which I LOVE - it is working in my field of psychology so it's incredibly challenging. Hopefully I'll get a paycheck soon ^^ It just takes a whole month to get it so it'll come when it comes. I juggled working with summer classes and that was fun but not ( Read more... ) -

It's been a while but with uni and my messy life I've not had much time for myself. It isn't easy trying to start life over in midstream. I've begun journaling again and I am going to keep LJ for my fandoms - kind of light and fluffy stuff because I don't want to keep being reminded of serious things when I come here ( Read more... ) -
Carolyn
Does anyone still say "my best friend in the whole world"? Carolyn, my best friend in the whole world, who has been a part of my life for 26 years, died over the weekend. I can't believe it, I'm shattered, I can't stop crying. She was living in England, I spoke to her on Thursday. She abruptly said she had to go with her typical, "later, Veghead". ( Read more... ) -

Instead of dancing around like a fool now that semester is over, I've basically fallen on my face in the mash potatoes. I'm trashed...exhausted...out of energy. I'm completely loving school, this semester was a real challenge and I'm psyched that I kept my 4.0 GPA \(^_^)/ yay me. My Women's History professor approached me about further work in ( Read more... ) -
Spring (mostly fandom rambling)
Halfway done with another semester, the time is flying. The work is really hard but fun as well. This semester I'm taking Women's History and Intro to Women's Studies since my main goal is going to be specializing in helping women and girls and my minor is Women's Studies. The most heartbreaking thing in these classes has been hearing so many women ( Read more... ) -
2013 pt 2 - Fandoms (pt1)
I gave myself some challenges this year, mostly in order to give other groups a chance. Idols still dominate my music collection but I didn't forget to show Sakanaction, flumpool, Daigo and Becky (and a few more) my appreciation either.
Some challenges:
Give SKE, NMB & HKT a chance. I still am not crazy about SKE and I don't see NMB ever winning ( Read more... )
