Coming To A Close

*sings* I'm so glad we had this time togetherrrr.

Well, we are at the end of yet another year. I'm always amazed at the end of the year at how much I didn't accomplish. This year is no different. To that end, I haven't bothered to think of things I'd like to accomplish in 2009. Instead, I'm going to go out on a limb and play it by ear, work with the same verve with which I always work & hope for the best.


Maybe you'll do the same. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

All the best in 2009.

So Much to Do, So Little Time

Wow, It has been a looooong time since my last visit here. My list of things I want to accomplish is getting longer and longer. Unfortunately, when the list is too long sometimes things either fall by the wayside or result in subpar work. This for me is NOT acceptable. So, how does one rectify the situation? Answer, I HAVE NO IDEA. No, really, I have no idea. So, what will be my next move? First, I'm going to finish unpacking the boxes that I haven't unpacked yet, and finish organizing my closet and my kitchen. I also need to paint (but this is not a priority). That's a start, I'll have to see exactly what is left for me to take care of before the new semester starts (that includes looking for and identifying a new job).

No Air

The Jordan Sparks & Chris Brown song "No Air" makes me scratch my head. Was I EVER so fickle to believe that without A "male" in my life I couldn't breath? Maybe it's the foolishness of today's misguided youth. Or, maybe it's the thought of being so much in love that the idea of continuing to breath is more than a mind can conceive. Give me a break (and pass me A barf bag and something to settle my stomach) at such a re-darn-diculous notion. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm as romantic (or "romantical" as John Leguizamo said in his stand up act) as the next woman, but why in the world would you give anyone that much power?

Dreams

How many of us have them? If we are lucky we all do.

Moving Ahead or Just Moving?

I am so not a mover. I am a settle in and get comfortable and grow roots type of person. So, with this in mind, why am I so determined in my desire to "move ahead?" Why not be content where I am in this moment in time? I would say, it is because I know there is something better, more challenging, more mentally stimulating down the line and complacincy just doesn't feel right. So, am I working on moving ahead or just plain old moving?

Quit or Press Forward

So, at what point must one realize it's a lost cause? Do you continue? Business as usual or keep on pressin' on? See, I'm conflicted. Part of me feels that I've fought "the good fight" and should just stop before I'm too far in without a toe hold. But then there's that "other" part of me that refuses to quit. She's driven. A vehicle all her own. Hard headed. It'll take more then a brick wall to stop me from reaching my goal. A motivated visionary who can reach out her hand and just about touch the next step. She. Is me.

Trying to Tread Water While Drowning In Tears

I've been working SO hard this semester and getting what feels like nowhere. My plan went awry early in the semester and rebounding just doesn't seem to be in the cards. I'm almost paralyzed with fear that I will fail this semester. What should I do?

WOW

It's a sobering feeling when you find out that you've changed your educational and career goals for someone else, and they would NOT have done the same for you.
