recent happenings.

It's been another few months, and even more changes than before. Wowza.

That super great job, that I was super duper ecstatic about? Meh. Wasn't the best. I found myself unemployed yet again. This time with no unemployment checks to rely on. And, of course, this joblessness happened within a week of signing a lease for my very own apartment. An apartment which I could absolutely afford bringing in $800 big ones a week. So that was fun. But blogs aren't about the troubles in life, well mine isn't at least.

After a month of being a bum, again, I found another job as a CNA. Im happy to report that I'm about a month into it, and I love it! I'm also starting as a hostess in a nearby italian restaurant, hopefully along with an extra paycheck it'll bring me some friends of my own. :) One doesn't realize how hard it is to make friends when they're not in actual school (I'm taking online classes) and works with people no younger than 60. I mean, I love my work and my patients...but they aren't usually up for a night out on the town.

I've also decided to call it quits on the whole "following the dream" thing. It's just not happening. So, for now, I'm no longer going to school for journalism (sad face), rather I will be enrolling in a tech somewhere for nursing. Just makes more sense. I really do like what I do now, and if I can stay in the same field but get paid tons more... well then I guess that's what I should do. Maybe someday when I'm not living paycheck to paycheck (and barely getting by with that) I'll find my way back to school and do what I really want to do. Yes, I am a little mad and disappointed with myself for not finishing what I started, and most of all for settling, but I don't see any other option. And, I don't know if I would call it settling. Meh. We'll see what happens I suppose.

As for that boy that I've mentioned over and over... Well I'm happy to report that he's still around. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I don't plan on letting go any time soon. <3

I don't think there's much else to report. I miss my friends. And I miss my family. I've realized that it's a lot easier to be an independent person, when the people one depends on are so close. This has been my hardest obstacle. The unemployment and the career change, those I can handle. But I'm finding it hard to be so far from the ones I love. I've got friends here, and they're great, tons of fun to be around. I'm just saying, it's an adjustment. One that I'm not sure I'll ever make.

Who knows. I do love my life though. And while I miss people more than I can describe, I love where I am. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Later homies.
