Days off!

So something today sparked my interest. While I was in class, someone asked me... what are 3 hopes and 3 fears that you have about your life. This was just a 'get to know you' activity, but I had never really been asked straight out, to list these kinds of things. It sort of got me thinking. I mean, how am I going to tackle these things, if you don't even think about it. This is what I came up with.

Fears:
Not graduating on time. Not being able to move because of money. Losing connections with people that I care about after graduation.

Hopes:
Secure an internship or two. Move to California, like I have always wanted. Be happy and confident in my decisions.

Anyways, I just felt like getting that off of my chest. It was an interesting activity- the kind that you don't feel like doing at the beginning, but you learn something at the end. Hmmm, other than class, I had a really good day. I was pretty sleep deprived since I stayed up all night writing papers, but it didn't keep me down. Redbull & skinny hazelnut lattes were my heroes today =)

Tomorrow will be awesome since it is my day off and I decided that I should reward myself for all of my hard work and money saving. Maybe I will buy myself a new shirt, or shoes... or a movie! I have been dying to buy the Hangover and Across the Universe. Odd combo, right? We will see. But first, I want to start my day with a trip to the gym or a run to clear my head and relieve some stress.. yay!!

Cars, cars, cars!

....or lack thereof. Car shopping=frustrating... still no luck. On the bright side, I did apply to 3 internships today, which gives me a total of 5. I feel like there are soo many more out there, but I do not have enough time to apply to them all. I hope I get one.

Also... I think I decided I want to do something different with my hair. It is time to make a change, and something as small as changing my hair, will feel like a big step to a newer, different future! Hahaha... next one involves me moving, and finding a car, and taking the CNA class! Despite the difficulties and the stress that I am facing now, I remain optimistic and ready for the future! I feel like I say that every blog, but I think it is good to remind myself, since often we forget the good things and focus on what is negative. That brings me to my next point... I am going to put these in writing (oooorrr typing):

My goals for the next few months!!!! Let's make it spring term.
1. Save money (I have an amount in mind but it is a secret =) )
2. Keep working out-- lose 10 lbs, which will put me @ my goal weight!!!!
3. Contact CNA administrator
4. Secure 1-2 internships

Tis all for now.

Time to write my fabulous paper on consumerism and health care. Woot woot.

Surprise, surprise!

Today was a good day- I sent out several resumes for potential internship sites. I really hope I get one, so that I can graduate on time and hopefully move. I am seriously crossing my fingers!!

I am just ready for a change... although I appreciate what I have in Portland, it is getting semi-boring. This year will be the best year yet, I can feel it.

That is all for now... I am off to bed.

Until later...

Getting Started.

Today... let's see-

Hmmm....sooo making my blog look cool is harder than I thought. I have no idea what I am doing, or how to add backgrounds and stuff. Hopefully soon, it will like brighter, better and cheer-ier! Hahahaha. Today was a relaxed day- no school or work. I still have a ton to do though, as far has homework and car shopping go. I have my fingers crossed that everything will just sort of fall into place, but I guess I will see. When things get tough or stressful, I just need to think on the bright side, and look to the future. I skip forward to graduation, and imagine myself in California or somewhere new, full of opportunities and new adventures!!! Maybe I just need another vacation :) Well, it is time for me to go work out. Gym time!



Wish me luck!! =)

Beginnings...

This is my first blog... EVER! I am not totally sure what I want to write on here... but this will be a great place to get out my thoughts and ideas. Random ones I am sure- hence, my blog title =)

That is all for now.
