This is your life & it's ending one minute at a time...

i am so terrible at keeping this thing up to date... i know i should write more for me; i know no one really cares (which is fine by me). i didn't make any real resolutions for this new year (i find the word "resolution" to be some sort of promise waiting to be broken, mostly because every time i make one, all hell seems to break loose and that one plan seems to make a 180)... i have made goals tho. the goals are just an extension of the progress i am making in my world.

-get back into school
-put more money into my savings account
-find a better career path
-work out more then just a walk around the block

i am proud of the progress i am making in my world. and i know it has a lot to do with Paul being in my life. he has not only motivated me to get back in school to finish my art history degree, helped me get out of the crazy amount of debt that i was in (thanks to best buy and bank credit cards), helped me to send out my resume more and expand the job opportunities that are out there and is supporting me emotionally and physically by working out with me.

this years goal is just an expansion of what i have done so far. i am going back to school. i have been saying that i would for about the last 3 years. the only reason why i stopped going in the first place was so i could get a more stable and steady job. but doing that for about 3 years, i need a change of scenery (so to speak). i am only taking 2 classes this semester... one is a digital photography class at American River College and the other is a Political Science class at Sacramento City College. it will be fun to get back in to the "student life" again.

i opened a high-yield savings account on new years eve this year. i had a lot of extra money saved in my lame bank (not making a whole lot of interest) and i decided to open up an account with ING. i am making 4.1% yearly and i can transfer from my regular bank into this new account. i was lucky to get bonus' from my boss (for being a good "sales-person/ receptionist" at a chiropractors office) and also thanks to the Christmas bonus of $500 from my boss and the fact that i was a part of 2 class action lawsuits involving my former employers (Michael's and Claire's). i only put $400 to start and each month (around the 20th, when i get paid once) they are gonna take out $50 but if i make any sort of bonus from work (which is included on my first paycheck that i get on the 5th), i am gonna put that extra amount into the savings act. too.


i am not sure where i want to go as far as a new career goes. i like my job minus the bitch fits that a certain boss of mine throws from time to time. i am gonna keep this one as undecided.

the working out thing is gonna be a tough one. i hate the gym that we have at our apartment complex. the only reason is that there are always tons of people there (and its a small gym anyways, 2 treadmills, 2 bikes, 2 elliptical machines and a dinky weight area) and its like a meet market there. i don't feel uber comfortable working out while 2 bimbo 105lb. girls are working out like crazy and talking about how "fat" they think they are. belch. plus, to top it all off, my membership to my gym was canceled to my boss. boo.

my goodness, i cant remember when i have ever written this much in one sitting. it kinda feels good, its time for sleep. i am gonna start reading the new book i got at Barnes and noble last night; Bohemian Paris: Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, and the Birth of Modern Art
