Hey all! I have not given up on blogging..I have just been busy with living life! It has been a crazy and beautiful year but everything in 2010 turned out to be wonderful and I am honestly looking forward to what lies ahead in the year 2011.
So....
In the past year I have completed another year of college and accomplished quite a bit. This past summer Stephen's family and I went to Disney World and various places in Daytona Beach Florida. IT WAS AMAZING! and a much needed break. However, I took an Evolution course during the summer also, and a massive 20 page paper was due during that vacation. For the first couple of days I did not participate in much because of needing to meet the deadline BUT in the end, I finished the paper (which received a 97%) and had a blast. From feeding baby alligators to just hanging out on the beach with my best friend, vacation summer 2010 was picture perfect.
In August Stephen and I started senior year and as much as I thought college had flown by, this past year in school has been rough and drawn out! Classes occupy a lot of my time especially because the first semester involved me driving to a separate university 30 minutes away 4 times a week, twice on Mondays in order to complete a class needed for graduation.
Now that the semester is over...things during winter break have been slow and peaceful :) It is not the same kind of Christmas like in Alabama but I have to say it was a pretty good one. First, we opened everything at Momma T's house and played Just Dance 2 for a long while. That night we went to His brother's house and played Xbox kinect all night and also went to his grandmother's to see family. Yesterday we went to his uncles house in Jefferson City and saw that side of the family. Today, everyone went back to work except for me. I have started a new exercise program and I hope I can follow through for the next 10 weeks. I need to get back in shape and right now, I have a lot of motivation. Once at school though, the real challenge begins because eating healthy is not always an option. Sometimes I am so busy that I do not get a chance to eat all day and then pig-out at night. Oh well! Maybe I can change that soon! Routine, routine, routine!!
Usually with New Year resolutions I am like most people and do not reach goals I set. This year is actually a new start and almost a "pre-game" warm up for what lies ahead. I graduate soon and that means a new place to live, a new routine, and a new career. Medical school is just around the corner and I am so ready for that part of my life that I can hardly stand it. To get ready for it all, I have been making sure everything is order financially. Working two jobs is really rough with a 18+ semester but I have been doing it pretty well. It get stressful at times but I always have my best pals and boyfriend and family to get me through it. Once my LAST semester starts I will be counting down the days until I get to wear the cap and gown (it is already marked on my Grey's Anatomy calendar). For Spring semester 2011, I have to go to 3 different universities in order to graduate on time, handle two jobs, volunteer work, and a butt-load of classes but I CAN DO IT!! (I hope hehe).
So to end this life update I posted some of my goals for 2011:
- Read one or two books over Winter break
- Complete an exercise program and eat better
- Finish my last semester with a 4.0 gpa
- Find more time for friends & family :)
- PAY ALL BILLS!!!
- Visit Alabama to see the birth of my Godson Tristan
Cause I been waiting all my life
For a break like this
It's my chance of a lifetime I just know it is
I gotta go find these dreams
Was the last thing that I said
And then I did
