What is going on?

The title says it all. I really have no idea what I am doing with my life right now. I have been skating by on the sheer thought that I am in college. That is what I am doing right now. But what about later. Later is becoming sooner. Sooner than I have expected. There is so much to do and I just want to get started.

I have recently been overwhelmed with a desire to move on. I am tired of working for my undergraduate degree. My living situation, though some changes have occurred, is still quite monotonous. My town is cold. My job is common. And I feel like I have met everyone I want to meet and done everything that I want to do here. I am ready to get out and start. Visions of Kansas or California, Knoxville or Newport, provide adequate images to keep me sane and my motivations up.

I feel like I have always wanted to grow up. In my mind I have thought of "the age" as that point for people. It looks like that is holding true for me. That is how I fell about myself anyhow. I turn "the age" this year. I am feeling more grown up and mentally able to take on new things, although my physical capabilities (including some important sub-categories) are not quite there.

I guess what I am trying to say is...I just want to get out and get going with my life.

Hopefully this works... it's a whole slideshow of quotes about moving on and they are all SO TRUE!

One of my favorites there is by Walt Disney. He says, "Around here, we don't look backwards for very long... We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things because we're curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

And here's a fun lil bit of motivation for the future...

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
