not quite a month later
I'm back. Seems like I just haven't been in the mood to blog lately. Too busy, I guess.
I think I mentioned something about Seattle? Well, I got accepted to The Art Institute of Seattle for their Graphic Design program. I went out last weekend to check things out. Yes, I am still in love with the city. Good thing, eh?! I didn't get to see the housing, so I am choosing to live in a school-sponsored apartment, sight unseen. My fingers are crossed... :) And I just keep trusting God. The doors seem to all be open, so I just keep walking through them, trusting HIM.
I haven't decided when I am going to move out there, but have started going through things. This morning, I went down to the basement to find my kitchen utensils. I opened a container and discovered, not kitchen things, but old school things. Textbooks & notebooks from all my previous trips through college. Yes, there have been many.
Right out of high school, I went to college for Physical Education - started in teaching, changed to Sport Management. I ended up learning how to party and then blowing my knee out in volleyball. Yep, a BIG stop sign from God. So I had surgery on my knee (the surgeon just cleaned it out, didn't rebuild - duh!) and dropped out of there. Then I went to community college in town and got my Associates in Business Administration. It was a transfer program and they said I needed to choose a major so I could graduate. I did really well there, but didn't transfer on to do my Bachelors. After that, I went back to the same community college a couple of times, once for Paralegal, once for Accounting. I think that was it. Nothing seemed to click.
In 2004, an acquaintance said "you should be a medical assistant." Not realizing that I am not cut out for the medical field, I was enamored by the money you could make. The business school did all the financial aid paperwork and I owe money on a loan that I don't really know anything about. Oh, right. It took back surgery to make me realize that the medical field was not for me. So I've been fishing about, trying to figure out what it is that I will still want to do when I get finished with a program.
KMC was the first person to mention Graphic Design and a light went on. So I started to research it and found The Art Institute. Mom wants to know why it had to be so far away. I just say that I needed a change and it's time. And like I said, the doors keep opening, and I'm planning on going, Lord willing. Keep me in your prayers.
And now, on to the world of MySpace and meeting guys. Don't do it! I just looked and apparently I haven't posted about this guy. His name is Mike and he started emailing me because I have hockey-related stuff on my profile. He calls me sweetie and tells me I'm gorgeous and says lots of flattering things in his emails. We've talked a lot about hockey and his daughter who is sick. I knew something wasn't quite right when I discovered that he didn't have any pictures on his profile and no friends. But he'd been asking when I worked because he wanted to meet me. So I gave him my schedule for the 2 days I worked before I went away. He came in one morning and was not at all what I had expected from a "beer-drinking, hockey-playing carpenter." He was scrawny and scruffy and really not all that attractive. He came in while it was busy and it threw me for a bit of a loop. I was friendly, but not very social. KMC said "NO". I have to agree. I threw a short "sorry I was anti-social, it was busy and you caught me off-guard, I leave for Seattle tomorrow" email and left it at that. He emailed me back and was like, I just thought you weren't very impressed by me, sorry to have bothered you at work. I haven't emailed him back. But then, I haven't emailed anyone on MySpace recently. So that's the latest on "my men". I must stop talking to guys I don't know on there.!

I think that's all for now......
