It has been a full week since school started.  I have been to all of my classes, and so far, enjoyed them.  I am looking forward to this semester, and I hope that I can keep the goals I have for myself within reach. 

I've been doing some thinking lately...I know..haha, that's not always good...but in all honesty, I'm not sure what I want to do with my life. I don't know where it's going to go. I don't know who I am going to become.  And, as strange as it may seem, I'm okay with the idea of not knowing.   For those of you who do know me, you know that I'm, for lack of a better term, a control freak.  I'm okay for not having control over this part of my life.  I'm actually more curious as to see where it might lead me...if it will lead me onto a path of something that I love to do, and that will sustain my living expenses. Enough about me though.

Tomorrow is a historical day.  Many of us never thought that we would ever get a chance to see an African American become president; some never wanted to.   I am excited to see how he does as our next president.  I am a little weary, not because of the color of his skin, he's a human being and that's all I really care about, but more along the lines of his experience.  That was, I think, the main reason that people did not vote for him; because of their concern with his lack of experience within the Senate and the government in general.  Yes, it is a bit disconcerting, but I have faith in him that he will do the best that he can with the cards that have been dealt to him.  George W. Bush did not leave a very good hand to Obama in life's poker game.  We are still at war, the economy is in a crunch...we're not in a good place.  I just think that people, no matter how you voted in the election, should realize, and remember, that it will take time.  So have patience, and show your support for our president, because by doing that, you're showing support for your country.

Okay, politics aside, for all your brave souls going to our Nations capital tomorrow to bear witness--think warm thoughts!!!! :D

School is supposed to start tomorrow. This is something that I look forward to as much as I almost dread.  This blog always seems to be alot about school. As you may be able to tell, it's pretty much my life...  I don't mean that in a bad way, I guess I just hope that all my hard work will pay off one day. 

Life has been interesting lately for me though.  I work full time during the breaks, and this time, I was able to catch up with a coworker and friend that I hadn't seen since the summer.  I really enjoyed her company and the fact that we're the same age is a definite plus.  We kept our office, which is mostly manned by people our parents age and older, livelier with our sarcasticness and our laughing fits.  Though both of us were challenged by  a new addition to the office, I believe that we both handled the situation quite well.  

Over all, I think this break went very smoothly and pleasantly by.   I wish for each of you, a wonderful day, and the confidence and willpower to continue to follow your dreams.

2009, here I come!

I hope all of you had a wonderful new year's eve.  I enjoyed mine with the people I love, and then got the wonderful surprise of the power going out for more than an hour immediately following the ball dropping; it was a great way to ring in the new year, haha.  
"May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home.  May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam.  May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endure.  May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours!" ~Irish Blessing
