Leaving My Nest

Once you get to that point where you decide to move out, shoudln't it feel good?  Well, I have one foot in and one foot out my nest and it is a bit scary.  Depending on your personal situation it may be best or it may not be best to move out on your own.  For me I just felt that I was too old and my time has expired.

My personal situation is interesting. I always wanted to move - just because.  I am not being abused or anything extreme like that I just wanted to "grow up".  Me and my mom have an interesting relationship, we have always been close and leaving is really hard to do.  We talk about everything and do a lot of things together which makes it even harder to leave.  She is my voice of reason and it just helps to have her there at any time.

This will be a learning experience and I suppose she is only one call away so knowing that puts me at ease.  Family means everything to me but hopefully my relationship with her grows - and it will!!

Happy Pill

So I saw the movie "Limitless" and I will try not to mess it up for you but I will say it is a must see!  Anywho, I really wish it was possible to have all the answers to success in pill form.

Can you imagine?  Knowing which steps to take in life.  Becoming successful quicker than expected.  It must be nice to be able to change your life from boring to exciting.  Having the solutions in a size of a pill would be the best ever! 

But of course there are some consequences.  Being addicted to short cuts and instant solutions may not encourage people to retain what new information they learned.

Having no limits seems pretty promising.  Finding ways that promote motivation over laziness is a route I would like to take.

While that idea is still fictional, I will continue struggle to the to top trying to make my life's journey as exciting as I possibly can.

What's Next?

I feel lost.  What do I do next?  For some reason I am feeling confused about my future.  I still haven't figured out what I want to do when I get my masters.  This program is going fast so should I have everything figured out by the time I am done? 

I want to move but I am scared about being on my own.  It would be an adventure for me but the unknown worries me yet it is excites me.  I really want to take time to travel and see the world but I also need to establish myself.

I am just so lost and confused.

Unicorn

The other day I was told that I was a unicorn. Yep, unicorn is what I said.

The reason for this is because I'm unique, I guess. I went to a conference with my boss and co-worker and spending a few days together outside of work, you get a chance to really get to know eachother. During this trip I think they got to take a peek at the real me. While I'm at work, I'm so focused and goal oriented that I rarely get to show how corky I really am.

I would never say that I was normal or even close. I am goofy, spontaneous, hard working, and an extremely focused person. I hate sleeping on pillows unless they are flat because I get neck cramps. I think all railroad tracks you touch could electrocuted you. Someone told me that and why investigate something that could hurt you? I'm superstitious yet religious. If you split a pole I will whisper "bread and butter" every time.

I love disrespectful rap songs yet I can appreciate other arts such as the theater, sculptures and paintings. I can watch cartoons all day then later discuss ethical theories and formulate calculations for biostatistics and epidemiology.

Calling me unique or different is an honor. I embrace it completely! Unicorns are supposed to be beautiful and majestic and hopefully I live up to that. Being a legendary and mysterious creature seems pretty cool to me.
