It's been awhile....

Wow! It's been awhile since I've sat down and actually written on this thing! Scary! I've been so busy the last year or so that I haven't had time to slow down and reflect on my life. Reflection is a good thing every now and again. It verifies that you're on the path that you want to be! So this is me coming up for air...

School. What can I say about it? It's consumed my life. Everything and anything I do currently has some tie (whether small or big) to school. I can't believe I've been in school this long. I'm going on 7 years now in college. And all I'll have to show for it will be two bachelor's degrees. I guess that's not bad. Would be nice if I could quickly add a job to the accomplishments attached with graduating. But, only time will tell if that's true or not! Don't get me wrong, I love learning! It's fun to challenge yourself and open your eyes to new possibilities. And trust me, I've learned A LOT over the past few years! It's been good. Currently, most of that information is a jumbled mess inside my head. I need to sort and file all of it and try and make it into some semblance of order. Do you think I could hire a secretary to do that for me???

Work is a thing that I know very little of currently. School literally runs my life. So, I'm not able to work consistently every week. I try and get at least two shifts a week. Sometimes I'm successful. Sometimes I'm less than perfect. My bank account reflects the fact that I haven't worked very much recently. I think I've got an average balance of $1.25 for the last few months. Luckily, I'm not homeless just yet. As school wraps up, hopefully I can pick up some overtime along the way and augment the last few months of debt. Sundance is still a gorgeous place. I still do enjoy working here each and every chance I get. I realize that it's probably not a career option for me to remain here. But, it will get me through until I find that opportunity.

Family life is chaotic. Much has happened. More than I'd like to include in this blog. Between losing an uncle to a heart attack, having a mom and brother suffer some medical issues, having a sister go off the deep end, and having my own health teetering, things have been, I guess you would say, hectic. I'm ever so grateful for the bond that I have with my family and being able to step back occasionally and see the bigger picture. Otherwise, there would be many justifiable reasons not to associate with them. But, I sure do love them, despite all of our faults! In reality, they're the glue that keeps me together. Without them, I would have fallen apart long ago. Thank God that I have a great family!

Hmm...I'm not sure what else to write. There's nothing really pressing that I feel the need to write at the moment. I'm sure there's something amazing or exciting that I could post on here. Maybe it's my lack of sleep that's hampering me from writing more. Until next time...
