It was brought to my attention recently by several people that I needed to update my journal, so here we are. Christmas break was good, although home doesnt feel like home anymore and that is a little scary to me. I spent New Years in detroit with my cousins which was a great time. A lot of driving and not a lot of time spent with family, but ( Read more... )

Mrs. Long,

The cookies are amazing, thank you so much. I will see you over break. Merry Christmas.

I love how the human mind can at times be so brilliant and in the next minute be completely blind to the most obvious things. The scariest part is how the littlest things can trigger everything to suddenly come into blinding focus. And you look at the situation in a completely different light for the first time and seriously question where the ( Read more... )

This can't be real, can it? I mean my life? You always hear the stories about how life is supposed to go, but everyone knows that not the real world. People are constantly changing jobs until they find the one they like. Many people don't find a job right out of college, let alone one they like. I am sitting here tonight after do some work at ( Read more... )

Im not really going to get into the specifics of the job here bc most people find finance boring....but I absolutely love it. :) Im a big dork, what can I say? Now that the first ( Read more... )

Well tomorrow is the big day. First official day of work in the real world. Overall things have been coming together rather well over the last couple days. Thanksgiving at home was good, it was nice to get a chance to see everyone, even if it didn't last very long. I managed to find a great tv on the mountain for my apartment and once I got ( Read more... )

Just thought i would toss an update in here since I haven't really done much with this lately. I've been so busy the last couple weeks that I have been neglecting the journal altogether. This will be the first journal entry of my new job and new place in Chicago. I live right downtown about 3 blocks from the Sears Tower. Chicago is fantastic ( Read more... )

i sat here staring at this stupid little entry box for what seemed like forever trying to discern what it was i was trying to communicate / expel. Even at this point in the page i still really don't know what it is i'm trying to accomplish. Looking back on the previous several weeks i can only shake my head at the debacles that seem to have ( Read more... )

It has come to my attention today that for the greater part of 21 years now I haven't been living my life for me. As I look back in stunning horror I find that almost every decision I made, I made to appease me parents in some way. The way I dress, the way I talk, the way I act, basically every decision I have ever made has been to try to keep ( Read more... )
