Chapter 2: You Can Start

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve updated. Life just does go faster than you can realize until it’s gone.

I have a lot of new things in my life which I can discuss/talk about, and right now, I’m really excited about most of them. Currently, I’m living in a sweet find of a living arrangment. Not only is it in the coolest part of town (according to me), but I’m by myself! Since the beginning of this year, I’ve wanted a place to myself, and now I finally have it. I decorated and furnished it according my own specifications…(thanks to the help of John and Mom). It’s in a really nice location, and I’m sure I will have to invite people (FAMILY and FRIENDS) over for dinner made by me (er…Central Market) and maybe some shopping in Rice Village or the Miller Outdoor Theatre.

I’m also still working at GAC - RUR as the “invoice, consignment, database manager, bill of lading send out, immigrations filing” person. I love the feeling of being productive and being rewarded for my efforts. That’s one HUGE thing I learned about myself in the last months. At least, I’ll still have some sort of income before I can give away $12,000/yr on another form of education.

I’m trying my best this semester to not physically/mentally/emotionally burn myself out. I am notorious (as is the rest of our family) for doing this, and sometimes, I just have to say “NO.” …NO I WILL NOT EAT MY BROCOLLI.

But to add to that, I’m trying to get certified as a pharmacy technician. I plan on taking the test in March, so for the next 2 months, the only thing I’ll be thinking about is work, school, and drugs. In most cases, you wouldn’t think that these would mix, but I guess I’m special that way. :)

As of now, things are looking up. I can’t wait until I see everyone again. (i.e. friends and family), but at the same time, I’m eager to start this new chapter of my life and all the people that will entail.
