Let's revisit resolutions.

I've been reading more.
Learning a new job.
Recommitting myself to learning Spanish again.

I know it helps when you have a plan on getting what you want. It feels nice to work toward a concrete goal- and I finally have some!


Get in half-marathon shape by end of June.
Budget wedding and pay it off before the wedding even happens. 
Buy a new computer before this one dies.
Enroll in school before summer sessions starts for some kind of Marketing degree. 


Ah. Ambition is finally coming back to me.

How it's going to Be.

Thank you Third Eye Blind for letting me see things in a different way. You got me off my ass this morning and I am starting to see the humor in this new way of life.


I'm making things. Even if it's just for me.

I went on a date this weekend and it made me realize how much life I have in me.

I am new. I am ready to be something big.

"to every young person listening tonight who's contemplating their career choice: If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you."


Mr. President, you addressed something I've been fighting with for a long time. Where you speaking to me directly? As a young person, who appears to be having a difficult time choosing a career is this what I should do?

My bigger problem is not that I can't "choose" a career. I'm having a hard time even finding one that I can make happen. Two whole months of job applications and I've been on one interview for a retail position that I won't get because I'm over-qualified...

But that teaching position always pops up in my search. "Be a science teacher" it whispers. I've been down this road before and it didn't feel right. Was it just bad timing? Wrong city? Wrong kids?

Where will that take me? I'll have a masters in education and then what. I still feel like I'll be looking for something else. Like what I really want is still out there somewhere. What is it.....
