Each night when I get into bed, I lay there and let my head fill with all of the leftover thoughts from the day. I think about my worries, goals, doubts, questions, dreams, and about everything else in the world. It all rushes in like a massive flood. Last night I was really wondering how I got to where I am today. So much has changed in my life in the last two years and I feel like a completely different person than I was. Who knew that I would actually let myself pursue this (sometimes) crazy dream of being a photographer?? I don’t think I ever could have guessed this would happen. I always thought I would do the “smart” thing and follow the strongly analytical tendencies in my brain and be a doctor or a businesswoman and that I would get a degree in finance or marketing or something similar. Whenever I took those little career tests in jr. high, it would almost always predict me to have an artistic career and I thought those tests were, well, crap. Guess I was the wrong one. :) I’m following my dreams and it’s been a huge amount of work but I couldn’t be happier with the path I’ve chosen. I’m so glad that God shut certain doors because I’ve realized now that there is nothing better I could be doing. I know I can’t work in a cubicle. It’s just not me. And I really like being my own boss lol.
When I was thinking last night, I realized that this is my last full calendar year that I’ll still be in college. Things are going quickly and I have so much to accomplish before I’m ready to be on my own without school and life down here to keep me occupied. I was thinking about some goals for the year and I still have a bunch more to make, but I’ll post one right now. I really want to work on networking because it’s hugely important, so I’ve decided to finally start using my twitter. I aim to have 100 followers by May 1st. Setting a numeric goal will help motivate me to get out there and “meet” new people through the glory that is social networking. And posting it here will make me accountable to keep this goal!
Here’s to this new year and hoping everyone will be productive and joyful! :)
This is the closest thing we have to a winter-looking plant! I’m glad there were at least two weeks of coldish weather though.
