New Job!

So today I started work at a new job. So far this has been great, I just know there's still a lot I'll have to learn. It's a growing company and I think it's a great opportunity, it's just a lot to take in. My new boss fixed my computer this morning and it's running smoothly! This is very rare. haha Amazing! ANYWAY just thought I'd make a quick post. I'm going to go play around on my new and improved computer!

I can't believe it's already time for midterms! Next week I take my lab midterm for anatomy. It seems like time FLIES by lately. Only three more months until we will be starting a whole new year already. A lot of good things have happened in 2010 and a few bad ones, I'm not sure that I'm ready for it to be over yet. ANY WHO- I've been so busy between school and work lately and now I'm swapping jobs. I had a little over a year (a good year) at Enterprise Rent-A-Car and now it's time to move on! Honestly, the best thing about this job change (aside from more money) is the down time I've had between the two jobs. hah It's some nice, much needed time off! Well, not COMPLETELY off, I still have school and open labs to attend ; but it's been nice to focus solely on that for a few days.

I have come to realize through my first few posts on this blog that I'm not very interesting... haha No one will be inclined to read this and no one cares about how glad I am to be off work for a few days OR the fact I'll be taking a midterm next week. You see though, this journal isn't really for anyone else, this journal is for me... sort of. My grandmother passed away this year and boy do I miss her! I've sat around many nights and thought about all of the question I didn't ask her and all of the advice I should have gotten. I wish more then anything that I could just sit down with her and ask her for all the advice she could give me about the next 60 years of my life bc she's been there before, who better to ask. Many times I've thought how amazing it would be to have a journal of hers to go through and just see how her mind worked ... hear her own words written down and have her thoughts and opinions on the stages of life she was going through. SO I decided to keep a journal so that one day my family would have that from me. I've tried, but as I said in the first post I'm not the most consistent journaler so this is yet another attempt and we shall see how it goes. With that said, I know I'm not the most interesting person. I've never travelled the world, saved the universe or made any significant difference; but I am a girl who loves her family and thinks about the future and I want to provide things that I would kill for. Whether or not my future family ever reads any of this who knows, but the fact that I have tried is enough for me. Enough of my rambling though....
Peace!

Relaxing Sunday's and Fall

Wow! It felt absolutely amazing outside today! Spenser and I spent the afternoon at the park with Riley (my pup)! It was a blast! It seems like once the school semester starts me and Spenser end up spending all of our time together STUDYING which gets frustrating SO we decided to take a break from the books, get out of the house and enjoy spending some time together! It was definitely much needed. We talked about it and we're going to come up with a list of fun things to do this Fall while it feels so awesome outside! I think our next outting will be a bike ride at Oak Mt. State Park!

ANYWAY- Riley had a blast at the park! He was stoked to get out of the house too! We got some pretty cool pictures with Spenser's new camera. Then we came home and I made dinner and we pretty much had a lazy night from there. We had a great day! It was nice to not have anything to do...just be together and relax! I'm hoping for many more days like this while the weather is so amazing! WELL, I better hit the sack! Tomorrow's a Monday and I've got class! Goodnight all!

I'll give it a try...

Many times over the years I've attempted to keep a journal, but have failed. ha Earlier today I was cleaning my room and thinking about this. See, I think journals are awesome for a few reasons, but mainly memories. Later on in life you get to look back at all the good times (and bad ones) and remember exactly how you were feeling at that moment in time. You realize where you were and how far you've come. Maybe one day when you're long gone your family can read through your thoughts and understand a little bit more of who you are and how you think...or maybe not. I also think writing out your thoughts helps you understand a little bit more about yourself. I enjoy keeping a journal, I just wish I could be a little more consistant with it.

Anyway, while I was thinking about this I remembered http://www.livejournal.com/ ! Gah, I loved livejournal. That is the most consistant I've ever been with keeping a journal. Way every now and then I randomly go back and read over my posts and it makes me laugh, I was so young! So I think I've discovered my main issue with keeping a journal...writing. My hand gets tired! haha My mind wants to say a lot more than my hand wants to write. I figure I'll take another shot at journaling online with this blog... so here goes nothing! I'm not claiming that it will be interesting or anything ... I just hope I'll keep up with it. haha
