A Fresh Start

Hello inhabitants of Internet land. It’s been a while since I last updated my blog. It’s probably about time to do so, especially since there have been many changes in my life.

So guess what? I’m finally at ECU! It’s been a long time coming, FOR SURE. I’m really happy here. I made the right decision. I’ve made some good friends and I’m doing pretty well grade-wise. Hopefully that will continue. I also work at Target in human resources, which is right up my alley. The Greenville American Eagle has no idea what they passed up lol. Even with rave reviews from all my old managers at Goldsboro, they still declined to hire me. It was for the best anyway, as I don’t have to worry about crappy hours anymore. I get PLENTY at target, maybe even too many lol.

I believe this is a fresh start for me. After all I have overcome to make it to this point, never once giving up on the belief that one day I will finally graduate college. I feel like it was fate for me to end up here in the time frame of now. I had to learn a lot about many different things so I could understand the larger picture in life.

I also needed to update this blog because all the other entries are pretty bleak. Which is quite different from how I feel now. I haven’t been happy in such a long time that I almost forget what it was to be happy. That’s all changed hardcore. I’m finding happiness in the littlest things anymore.

I have also been investing in myself as well. I have been trying to incorporate healthy living into my routine. Minus this week, I’ve been doing pretty well. This week is because of a certain circumstance, but I’ll hopefully be back at it right away starting Monday of next week.

I’ve been at school for about a month and a half now and have gotten back into the swing of things. There’s a lot more work to be done at this level, but so far I am managing. I’ve got really good friends too. I have some that like to get into shenanigans and others who help to keep me balanced and focused.

Last weekend was a terrible weekend for me, but at the same time it was enlightening. I got punched in the face and am pretty sure gained a concussion out of it. I’m still feeling it a week later and it is why I haven’t worked out much this week. It was so bad that Monday I had to call off work and I missed two classes. Moral of the story was that I am done drinking for a while, even though the reason why I was punched was pretty stupid. Didn’t punch the person back thought, wouldn’t change anything. However, I won’t be so naïve and trusting to people I don’t know at all.

Other than that everything is great haha. Having a headache for so long sucks, but it was a sign that I needed to focus my energies elsewhere. I can use the time and money for much better things (like saving?). Plus it’s just not something I need in my life constantly.

So I have an interest in a particular girl, which I’m fairly sure is obvious. I’m not pushing things and letting things happen as they may, but she definitely intrigues me. We’ll see how that goes as time progresses. I just felt I should mention it since I’m mentioning everything else.

This weekend is fall break, so after work on Saturday I’ll be heading home to visit with the family for the weekend. I’ll also have some homework to work on as well though BLAH. I’ll probably do that at night. I will most likely go visit my AE crew since they were the closest thing I had to friends when I was in Goldsboro. It’s going to be weird going back. I wonder if my perception will be any different. Like that place is dreary to me and reminds me of how things were. I like things the way they are now, so hopefully I’ll still be cheerful .

Hmmm, what else should I say? I’m not sure what else to write about. Just glad I met the people I have and that everything is finally better! This is something I needed for sure. I look forward to the next set of adventures and shenanigans.

 

Until next time my friends, peace and love.
