Oh hey 2010...and by that I mean April..

Hola strangers.
Yes it has been months since my last post. I blame it on the ebb and flow of la vida... really I have just recently been able to stabilize my life enought to actually sit down and write (coherently) about it. Just barely mind you, because I am still not certain that I can make heads or tails of anything that is going on... But i will try my best.

I have returned to my blogging adventures because, as I have said before, I just really love to write. When I get to write about myself, that's just icing on the cake. Truth be told, one of my favorite things about blogging is the fact that I get to write like I am talking to an audience. It's fun to imagine that i have tons of fans reading my page and hanging with bated breath on my every word, when in reality I know that all 4 of you that might (key word might) actually read this probably haven't noticed my prolonged absence. Sigh, one day.....

So, on this lovely Saturday afternoon on Easter weekend, I am sitting here at work (not at home with the fam, don't even get me started...) whiling away the hour and a half or so that I have left, thinking about how fast things in life can throw you on your ass.

A lot has changed for me in the past 3 months. I've quit a job, gotten a job as a server, gotten another job (in my career field), and consequently have been forced to make real-life, big-girl decisions that i would have preferred to put off until after I graduated college and spent the summer playing and sleeping over at my boyfriend's.

Don't get me wrong, these new developments are very exciting. I mean how many people get to say they have a job in their career field in hand when they graduate from college? In this economy? But the transition from college life to big girl life is one that is neither fun nor easy. Although the sizeable pay increase helps a little.

What I mean to say is that I am certainly, if not willingly, embarking on a new phase in my life.And i feel it is important to write about it so that I can look back at this years from now and figure out how on earth i made sense of everything. Hence-blogging...Ah it all comes full circle.

So.As of right now I am a 22 year old living in a college town, trying to pay off my car and my laptop, working as a server (which, i really don't think is my thing, but we'll get to that later) and a weekend assignment editor for the number 1 local station (psuedo name-dropping ha), not so patiently awaiting graduation and the subsequent move of my other half from six hours away to zero hours away (i.e. here). And all the while trying to figure out which way is, in fact, up. It's a party, let me tell you :)

I am learning a lot about myself in this process of putting on my big girl pants and doing big things. Good and bad. And i mean i think that is the whole point. So in that aspect I would say I'm right on track.However, i am most definitely not on track with my spanish paper, nor my 15 minute documentary piece on social media for my thesis, and that's probably what i should be doing now... but this was just way more fun.

For now I will leave you with this wonderful procrastination tool. It came up on my stumble page today:
build your own kaleidoscope <--it's neato.
