Life is a funny thing!
I have a blog post that I had put up not to long ago in another place.  I've decided that perhaps I should put it down here too.  That way I have the reinforcement in more than one place to keep going. Even through all the dissappointment.  Here it is.


Life is a funny thing.
Posted On: 01/24/2011 15:08:21

Life is a funny thing, really it is. I'm now 30 and starting everything over that I started at 20. I suppose I'm a bit sad that I failed, but in a way quite releaved.  I failed in the job area, now I'm going to school for a career in Medical billing and coding. Which unlike retail and Hospitality can be moved and will pay enough to sustain.  I failed at having my own place and ended back up with my family, now the next time I go out for my own place I'll know what I will need and what is just luxury.  I failed in several relationships, now I know I do not want a boyfriend just so that I wont be alone.  I now know I want a true compassionate, understanding partner.  
I had an older friend tell me a few years ago that the best years of his life were his 30's. He said that prior to that you have tried and failed. As a result you have learned what does and doesn't work and adjust accordingly. He also said it makes things much easier.  I'm not so sure on the easier part, but I'm beginning to see what he meant about the tried and failed.
At this point I'm obviously starting over on everything. At times it is frustrating and embarrassing.  The embarrassing part just from others opinions, which is an oddity to me. Up until about 5 yrs ago when I was 25 and decided to try the hospitality industry. I was able to roll all the negativity and all the trappings of it off my back.  It never mattered if someone in my family or a person I hung out with disagreed with what I was doing.  It may have been the manager that I had for the last 4 yrs, no scratch that I know it was the manager I had and a supervisor for the last two years that somehow cracked my wall.  Now it seems that anyone from family to friends can get my goat.  
I'm trying to remember what it was that had made me so strong before I broke.  It seems that the world has forgotten what PERSONNEL RESPONSIBILITY is as well as CONFIDENT PRIDE.  most everyone around me now just wants to have all the rewards with out the hard work. They lie, cheat, scapegoat, and bully to get what the feel they deserve rather than take life as it comes.  My family seems to have settled down in their freak-out now that they have looked into what I'm going to school for. 
So in the end it's frustrating with society that I'm starting from scratch again, but deep down it feels right.  So thanks for reading my needed venting. 


I hope your journey is less frustrating, but very rewarding.

Finally a good weekend
This weekend has been a good one for sure. On Friday I bought my Grand Package ticket for the ball on July 1st and 2nd .  Then just a few hours later my mom asked me how much it would be for the Flight and the Hotel the greatest early birthday present ever. Unfortunately I wont be able to make a new mask or costume for the Ball, but I do have a couple of costumes to take.  I'm thinking that if I get a bit of good lace I can make at least some eyelet masks to go with the costumes. 


Then I have had several other good things happen. I'm really happy right now, which I'm grateful for. For a while I just couldn't shake that pesky run down and depressed feeling. Seems that a couple of disappointments that worked themselves out this weekend were affecting me more than I thought. Now I just need to finish getting through school and the summer with hopefully a lot less drama. I'm looking at the time line and I'm sure it will take me a bit long than I would like to get established after school, but this time around will be worth it. 


On a side note of D'oh dum.  I was cutting up a bunch of old and no longer used Credit cards last weekend while cleaning in my room and through old files. May have accidentally cut up my current credit card, as I can't seem to find it anywhere.  I was sure I had put it in a certain file, but it's not there when I looked for it to update something. Hopefully I wont actually need it for a bit before I can call my bank and get a new one.  I guess That's what I get for thinking I was being smart and putting out of my wallet so that I wouldn't use it. heh heh heh.
My mind keeps going round.
My mind keeps going over the same argument for the past 5 months.  I quit my toxic job 9 months ago.  I was happy and looking at options of what I could do after my trip. Then some crazy things with my Dad happened and I was the one who mainly stayed with him for 4 months. During those 4 months I signed up for schooling at Carrington College for Medical billing and Coding, and continued to look for a part time job.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a place that wanted to work around my schedule and I have been working at school. I'm very excited about it still because I have been keeping a 4.0 GPA.  Something I wasn't interested in doing during High School and my first round at College.  I still have a very good feeling about the path I'm going down, It's just a bit frustrating that it is taking time. Everything takes time I'm aware, but with TSA deciding that my Psoriasis is not acceptable, other places not wanting to go around the schedule, and school beginning to get a bit hard. I still find my self with a lot of Frustration.  My graduation got pushed to Oct 1st because of a storm that closed the school for 3 days, and when we get to the anatomy section towards the end of my schooling I will have to get to know a new teacher.  All at times for some weird reason, my mind will decide it is daunting. 

I know it's just my mind running with all the different expectations of others, but I wish I knew how to completely turn it off so that I could continue to concentrate on what is important right now. SCHOOL.   This will help me to get into a diverse and challenging career that I look forward to.  So please wish me luck, and I'll let you know how it all goes.
Spring Cleaning
I love when spring begins to show itself. I'm not to big of a fan of the colds, flus and allergies that come with it though. The thing I love the most about this time of year though is that you get the energy to make some changes and clear the clutter that has collected over the winter or years.  It amazes me how much of a pack-rat I am. I started my spring cleaning today. Which includes moving the bed and vacuuming up all the cobwebs. Found that I have quite the colony of Daddy long legs in my room. LOVE IT, that means that so long as I haven't caught to many of the little ones I didn't see running then I shouldn't have to worry about roaches this year.  I saw maybe a total of 7 while getting the network of old and dusty webs.  I'm finishing with the bed changes as well. Another round of get some clutter out and I'm all done. I still have my corner that I get into little by little but hopefully this will be the year that I truly get through all of my stuff and really strip down to necessities. I was hoping to get it done at the end of last year. Unfortunately it didn't work out, do to several things. So now I'm heading into it and we shall see how things go. Wish me luck. 
Intro and Hello
Well This was the one I wanted with the title. I accidentally put it as the entire blog title and have not found how to fix that just yet. I may not post to much in the begining, as of right now I'm putting a web fingerprint together at About.me and realized that I did not have a Blog to just put my thoughts and other things down. I always have pictures, but since I left Myspace I haven't really truly blogged in a place for everyone including family to see. So here I have started that place for everyone to see. I just have to see what else besides school I will have to talk about. My world has gotten just a bit smaller over the past 9 months mostly just due to odd things. With Summer back around though I hope to rectify that. As of right now though, I'm proud to be mantaining a 4.0 GPA in the Medical and Billing program at Carrington College. When I'm done on Oct. 1st I should have taken the CPC test. After Jury Duty I will begin the new book in my life I decided to go on when I quit my job 9 months ago. No chapter, I want to start a book.  Things haven't gone at all the way I had planed them to, but that is ok. This way I really truly am starting over and it feels good.
