So, in case you haven't noticed, my last blog is from Saturday, and it's just now getting posted. Blame it on a combination of my crazy life and my computer being on the fritz. I mean, it's just a matter of days before this poor little HP dies, I can feel it. BUT I am trying to be optimistic, and hopefully she'll hang in here a little while longer.
Due to my crazy schedule this week; i.e. a to-do list longer than I am tall, three tests, I-week events and (gasp) actually trying to apply for big kid jobs... I am spread pretty thin. Since I had started my Saturday post I wanted t post it individually, but due to lack of time and brain functionability tonight, I am putting two-in-one. What. A. Deal.
Post number 4 and 5: November 8, 2010
I am thankful that I am able to attend a University. There. I said it. As much as I dread going to classes, and have somehow lost all ability to wake up before 9:30, I LOVE going to school. I love that I am getting an education. Something women decades ago were not afforded the luxury of, and even those that were, went to school for things that translated well into domesticated married life. eff that. I want to do my own thing and I don't want to rely on a man to provide for me. I love working and I love being involved, and I love learning about that things I want to do when I am older. I am so lucky to go to an institution that provides such great classes and outstanding faculty who I have been able to establish relationships with. The networking opportunities available here are incredible if you work hard for them. My grades might not always be the best, and I STILL don't really get the point of gen ed class... (yeah I know, they're supposed to improve my ability to understand and form my own opinions about world events and news... I have the internet... with google.. just saying)
But all in all I am SO fortunate to be here and to be earning my degree. I love this school and I will never stop being grateful for the education I am so lucky to receive. There are far too many people out there who don't have the opportunities that I have been SO fortunate to experience here, so for the rest of my (sniff sniff) last year, I will try to remember that everyday.
I am also thankful for the fact that I am able to have a car. I work my butt off for my pretty new santa fe that I love soooo muchh! But it's totally worth it when I realize I have the ability to get in my car and drive anywhere I want. There's nothing holding me back. I have complete freedom to go and do whatever I feel. I've often thought about not having a car, or moving to a big city where I wouldn't have to worry about it, and maybe one day that will be true. But for now, I love my car, and I am so thankful that I have the resources to be able to have such a luxury!
So, it's short... and maybe kind of a cop out on the writing... but, I'm going to go study for law now!
