its the closing of a new year....
and I feel awesome. 2008 was a good year for me. "Good year" really means that there were some victories and I feel I have successfully learned from the challenges/downfalls.
so a brief update on everything that's going on.
2 university applications are complete!
1 application for financial aid through work is complete
I still have another 2 applications and with one of the programs, everything is done, it literally just needs to be put together in one envelope and dropped in the mail. ::fingers crossed:: that the first working day in Jan i.e. Friday, Jan 2, 2009, I can be dropping this package...
and as far as the other school..well before I complete this, I need to ensure I have all the necessary requirements. I just added this school on Dec 13th...and sure enough the application packet is due on Jan. 15th. I still have not secured all the references so before I pay for transcripts/GRE scores and application fee, I want to make sure that I will actually be able to get those other important parts done!
so yea....I'm tired just reflecting on that.
on another note, I have NOT done anything about the business since speaking with the lawyer...mainly b/c I just didn't have the time or energy with f/t work, p/t lecturing and getting all these freaking applications done. so once these are all dropped in the mail, I will pick up the torch and continue running with that project.
A lesson I learned in 07...I'm not
no matter how much I think I am. and that means I can only do so much at once without harming myself. so I don't feel any weight about putting this project down for a bit.
what else...did I ever mention the transitioning here? hmmm not sure, but I'm 6months post and seriously thinking/planning/considering/about to do the BIG CHOP!
:gasp: yup. I'm serious. I have a whirlwind of emotions everytime I think about it..but I kinda want to start 09 fresh (as it relates to that journey) and learn to love myself in any condition. I'm afraid of looking like a HAM, I'm afraid of all the comments, gasps, stares. shucks. I'm afraid. but I'm ready to face fears and make things happen dog-gonnit! (tha's my version of profanity).
so that's my little update. I will try to be more consistent with my blogging..its so therapeutic and its also nice for me to keep things all in order. sooo that's all folks
