Wow, it's been a while since I've been on.  I guess I haven't felt much like posting b/c not many other people have posted a lot lately.  That's not a very good reason for not posting, but I'm a comment snob, what can I say?

In truth, March and this whole semester have been a whirlwind.  I literally do not know where they have gone.  Time flies when you're having......drama and shit tons of homework and trying to figure out what you want to do with your life.  But I can't complain.  What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger.  : P  Still, I'm glad my stomach's no longer eating itself due to stress like it was during December, January, and the better part of February.  And there's been some fun thrown in the mix (like spring break to DFW), so it hasn't been bad.

Not gonna lie, I'm still a bit hung up over the fact that I have so much school left, should I decide to follow my current (doctoral) plan.  I'm pretty sure I'm masochistic for voluntarily creating a life plan that involves more school, but I just can't think of another job that even comes close to how much I want to pursue Clinical (or maybe Counseling) Psychology.

I'm currently apartment hunting.  The problem is, all the ones I really want are out of my price range!  : P  But I'm sure that a less plush version will do just fine.  It will be SOOOOO nice to finally have my own place.  And not that I'm thinking of tying the knot anytime soon, but I can't imagine getting married and never having lived on my own.  I guess I've always known that's something I want to do before I get hitched.  So I may get it out of the way early, heh.  By the way, does anyone in the appropriate marrying age-range also feel WAY too young to get married?  I went to two weddings this weekend.  Yeah.

Good news--I've got both my practicum and research position nailed down for next year, so that's a HUGE relief and load off my shoulders.  It's a little scary because now it's feeling real.

Tonight, life is good.  I have a sleepy little sausage angel puppy lying on my bed (she was snuggling up against me earlier, which she rarely does, and it makes me so happy).  I'm studying for a test that is psychology-related (Applied Behavior Analysis), so the material is interesting (I'm secretly waiting for the promised class periods where she teaches us how to curb the behaviors of other adults in our lives, mwahahahaha).  In a few days I meet a never-before-met friend from Mexico for coffee.  Due to the approaching EastercoughSpring Holiday, the week's a 3-day week, so it should be a breeze.  So many opportunities and choices lie before me.  I can and will choose to focus on the positive.  If we're lucky, we only have 100 years; better make the most of every second.  Life is good.

Whoo! You're back!

There's something to be said for being on your own. (The tried-and-true path to real adulthood, for one)

I'm getting used to being on my own again. And let me just say that from experience, you don't need a "nice" apartment to make a nice home. Any where you settle down in becomes home quickly enough!
