My Life in Bullets

I have been absent because there is nothing going on. So lets bullet this post :)
  • My life is good and boring, yet its so busy. Crazy right?
  • The scale is staying the same. A favorite shirt fits around my hips a little lose. I had stopped wearing it because it didn't fit at all.
  • The weather is starting to get nicer. It was in the high 50's yesterday. Hoping its nice again today, class got canceled so I want to go walking with the dog.
  • I missed my hair appointment on Saturday because I forgot to transfer my appointments to my new phone. I look shaggy.
  • We were planning a vacation to the Virgin Islands but because of money (gas prices inflating everything!) we are looking somewhere closer. Any suggestions?
  • BOOBs, BOOBs, BOOBs!
  • Work sucks, I applied for a government position. I know the shut down is making things scary but I would be almost unfirable unless I really f'd up. Plus I would be a mile closer to home :) Fingers crossed for me. Plus a ton of other benefits!
  • I am thinking of changing my degree path from nursing to teaching for the fact that I don't know if I will ever be able to not work so I can go to nursing school. I really don't know yet, I am still growing up so I have time to decide.
  • I have my first math exam thursday. Wish me luck!
So thats about it. I have other issues to go over but they are way to deep for today. Unitl next time my dears.

Movin On Up

Hi, My name is Shannon and I'm LAZY...I almost didn't pass high school and then joined the Navy. After I got out of the Navy I tried going to college but, because of other....issues, dropped out of all the classes I tried. Needless to say I'm not a school kinda person. I have spent the past year on a emotional and sometimes spiritual journey of self revelation (ya like that it sounds fancy :D ). At the beginning of 2010 I started in counseling for issues marital and personal. What I found was a lost little girl with daddy issues and no self esteem. Penny (my therapist) was my angel. She helped me save me, from well me. I have this little issues were I try to bottle up everything inside of me until I explode and act out in the most hurtful way possible and it never ends up good for anyone around me or myself in the end. I am happy to say that I have greatly improved in this area. For me though I had to hit bottom before I would go for help. Not only did I hit bottom it was like the the big bang, shook my world to the core. What does all this have to do about my horrible educational career though? I was so inside my own head with my issues to succeed at anything. The last 5 months or so it has really been on my mind to try and go back to school. So, yesterday I put in an application to Columbia college. I have an interview with an advisor on Tuesday. Needless to say I am not submitting my transcripts from the previous community college I tried to attend. Who cares though, this is my fresh start! I am a different person then that lost little girl. I am a (semi)confident women with a fabulous marriage and on the fast track to emotional and physical recovery. If all goes well and I get excepted to Columbia I will start classes in March, doing accelerated courses (8 weeks instead of 12). I will keep you all updated :D
