Then and Now

What a difference a year makes. I can't remember how I brought in 2009, but I know it was uneventful because I was broke. Bringing in 2010 was just as uneventful but my mood was drastically different. Within the last 12 months I managed to accomplish my three main goals: 1) start school I had to do a lot of scrambling and borrowing to pay for it, and went through some very tough weeks of not having money, but I managed to not only start school, but I finished with a 3.3 GPA. 2) find a job It took me 10 months to get one, but it finally happened. It's a decent paying job that allowed me to achieve goal #3. 3) find a place It's not a place to call my own (because I can't afford to live alone in the nieghborhoods I like) but it is a room to call my own in a thriving neighborhood that's close to school and convenient to get to work. I finalized everything today and will move in February 1st. I sometimes hate being responsible but now I'm addicted to the feeling of accomplishment that comes when a goal is reached. For the next few weeks I'm going to be pretty busy with prepping for the new place and school, so don't be alarmed if I don't post. I'm just (finally) being the adult I've been hesitating to be.
