Resolutions never last, not even for one day!

Welp 13 days pass and finally a second post. No posts like my resolution promised, no followers, so no worries... I failed to get the position I applied for, long story, but let's just say that was a missed opportunity. So for the past 13 days I have been endlessly job searching for something, anything, close by. My search turned up a few admissions counselor positions that I don't hold the qualifications for, but none the less I applied. No calls from any of the schools but you can't win them all (why not just 1 though?!??).
So when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I decided to go back to school in the fall for Dental Hygiene. I mean it's the 2nd most promised job up until 2016 and with a $60,000+ salary, I do believe it's well worth the $5000/semester (5 semesters long...). Which would bring my school loan debt up to an ole....round about....ummm....let's see here.....$60,000. With an additional $25,000 in bull crap loans. $85,000...wow I could have a decent house...a heck of a nice car, a CRAP TON of clothes. But I'll have a history degree and a dental hygiene degree and a whole lot of stuff I don't need.
DEBT...awww the word hurts my ears. Is another year of school really worth another $25,000 of loans? I'll have them paid off in 30-40 years. HA! I mean currently my $25,000 bull crap loan is on a plan of 10 years with a $300/month payment. So I can only imagine my school loans of $60,000 for a 10 year payoff would be abbbboooouuuutttt ......... $700/month. Goodbye car, goodbye house, goodbye life I want...

Here's to beginnings... *cheers*

It seems things never go as planned, or atleast not the way you had planned them years, months, or even weeks ago. Dreaming feels like it has been the answer lately; what I want never seems to be exactly what I get. Hopefully life changes soon, I keep crossing my fingers, hoping and praying.

I do know, however, that life doesn’t just change on its own; there has to be some push from the changeree *whether that’s a word or not, I don't really care*  But I have taken it upon myself to add some new flavor in my life. All 105 pounds of me have purchased the new P90X workout program. After months of making fun of the “followers”, I too have followed. We shall see how far along I get. So far it has remained perfectly placed in the box since arrival and I continue to say “oh tomorrow…” Add that to my list of New Years Resolutions.

Speaking of resolutions, this blog is at the top of the list. I have started numerous blogs over the years, but can never quite stick with writing the way I hope. So maybe 2010 will bring the "will for the way" to stay warmly attached to this blogging world. 2009 brought many things (the bad out weighed the good) so hopefully 2010 can do the same (switch up the good/bad thing). 

  • I started dating the man I am marrying in 5 months *SORRY FOR THE EXTREME SHOCKER RIGHT OFF THE BAT*
  • I went to Disney World for the first time in my life.
  • I graduated from college.
  • I moved back home *ugh*
  • I got engaged!!!
Even though I hope 2010 brings lots more fun, happy things my way (preferably a job) I can't grouch too bad on 2009. It brought some major changes to my life and prepared me for my future. 

Future...oh tomorrow...please come soon. I'm not wishing the days away, not yet at least. I had my second interview with a student housing complex on Tuesday for the AGM position. The Gm definitely has my hopes up "Ohhh we will give you a call this week, as we're looking for someone to begin work on Friday". At 1:30am, it's technically Friday...so blah, I'll probably remain jobless for a while longer, but you never know-they may just be procrastinators like yours truly. We shall see...
