Life goes on...

It's funny how quickly life can take drastic changes. A couple posts back, I wrote about how much can happen in a year (entry found here) but changes haven't stopped there. From trying a relationship again to watching it fizzle once again due to a lack of communication and effort to make it work to trying to find my place in this grown up world.

Makes me wonder why and how anyone decides to get married. Sounds dramatic but I truly think that. I see the marriage my parents have and wonder how in the world they make it work so flawlessly. I know all relationships and marriages are work and have problems, but good grief I don't see how I'll ever be able to handle it.

I'm at that age where a lot of my friends are getting engaged and married, but then I also am at the age where more times then not I think about how we're too young to get married. It's not just playing house. You can't just go home and not text the significant other for a couple hours (or days) until you get over it. Nope. You're bound together legally and "for better or worse" you're, basically stuck. Now don't read what I'm not saying, I totally believe in marriage and look forward to it someday. However, I truly admire those who can make it work at my age (and younger for that matter) and stick through the bad and the good.

I have been chucked in a different direction in the past 24 hours and it's a hard pill to swallow and keep my head above water. I will not let this recent speed bump affect my work life and social life. It may slow me down and make me think twice before I start dating someone in the future, but I will not let this one get me down, again.

Until next time...

Living the dream

With the start of a New Year, many people are posting blogs about their resolutions or how 2009 was so amazing. Well I posted how much my life has changed in a recent blog (found here) during 2009. Needless to say, A LOT has changed. Some for the good, most for the better!

How is 2010 going for me so far? Well.... AWESOME! I have realized I really am living my dream. Finally! I have the job I thought I would have and the one I wanted throughout college, I am living in the apartment complex I wanted to move to when I came to San Diego and the newest news... I'm going to start studying for the GMAT and try my hand at an MBA!

Plan of attack for the GMAT: Take it once with only studying from a couple books I picked up at Bookstar on Rosecrans and see how well I do. If I bomb it, then take an intensive course to pick up my score a couple hundred points. If I do alright, then I'll apply, see what happens and if all works out, maybe I'll start this summer. Crazy right? That's me though, get a goal and I'm going to achieve it!

My plan is to get my MBA in Organizational Leadership from Point Loma. I'm going to attend the MBA info night in a few weeks to get some more information, but I have thoroughly researched the program and am a fan already. Just need some questions answered to make sure this is what I want my Masters Degree in.

2010 looks bright to me and I'm excited to see what unfolds!

Until next time...
