so now what??

With work well under way and my car issue dealt with, I'm at that phase where I stop to evaluate my life and try to organize it into neat files and compartments. This is where I take time to tie up loose ends, fix things that need to be fixed, take care of finances, make lists of things to do, come up with/revise my 5 year and 10 year plan. Okay, so I micro-manage my life but if I don't, things just get too out of control and I don't like it when things get too unruly. I can cross of, "Get a job" and "Pay off loans". So now what? Master's degree, save money, get a boyfriend?? Apparently my single relationship status is a big topic of conversation whenever I call my relatives. "No, I'm not seeing anyone. Yes, I go out." Anyways, tangents aside, I think the Master's degree is the next on my list. Hopefully, I'll be able to start in a couple of months. Who knows, maybe by next year I'll be a working forensic scientist.

whirlwind

I've heard that expression, "When it rains, it pours," many times (especially in association with Morton salt) but in the last week and a half, it seems to be my motto. In brief, got into a car accident, had to get rental car, drove up north to buy a new car, drove back down to start new job, got rid of wrecked car, flying up north to drive new car down, and many other things associated with such events. It seems like these events cause all the other things that need to be taken care of in our lives to resurface. You know, all the daily "to-do's" that we keep pushing off or refusing to acknowledge. They get pushed off and pushed off until something happens that makes us deal with them. This is definitely one of those times, from the big to the small.

Cars and Stuff

I feel like everything has been off this week just because I was rear-ended. There's claims adjusters, estimates to get, rentals to acquire, doctors to see, not to mention the never ending phone calls to various insurance agents. Well, with luck it will all be resolved soon with the repair of my car. I hope that's the case anyway. Ah well such is life. Accidents happen which is why we have insurance. And the insurance companies make big bucks off of us. It all reminds me, I'm an adult, and I'm treading more and more into adult territory. I can't hid behind the label of "college student" anymore where I'm old enough to not be treated as a kid but still young enough to get away with certain responsibilities. Blast this phase! Haha. Well, you live and you learn and life goes on.

the good, the bad, and the ugly

the good: i'm starting my job after months of waiting! i'll officially be a county employee. i'm excited to start and be done with my old job.
