the next big one...

Shame on me! My last posting was back in July. Why? Maybe because I had too many things going on. Excuse or no excuse, I shouldn’t have dropped the ball on the blog. So, just as a recap of the last 3, almost 4 months, I’ll just say my time was consumed by, training for the marathon, working full-time, playing recreational kickball (yes, it’s a sport for adults who like to “kick it” and drink some beer while at it), meeting new people, networking and just enjoying life to the fullest. So, looking back, I don’t know why I didn’t sit my butt down and write about it, since those were all great things.

But now that I’ve found myself with more “spare” time because I’ve cut back on some of the above (except from the full-time job, that’s the part of the equation that pays the bills : P). Now my time will be spent on preparing for the next big ‘out of the comfort zone’ move. Applying for GRAD SCHOOL!!!!!

I love California, the life I have here, the friends I’ve made, the happiness it has brought, the experiences, the volunteer work, the weekends filled with stuff to do, the new adventures, the challenges, the things I’ve done that I never thought I would or could (A.K.A marathon), … and now I want to add something else to the list…learning new things by immersing myself in school and everything that comes with.

Some will debate whether grad school would be a good choice or not, but for me it’s not a matter of choice. It’s a matter of commitment… to myself and the future that I want. I started my essays a long time ago, and now I’ll need to sit my butt down, just as I’ll do with the blog, and put everything “out there”. Grad school is about taking a leap into a world of opportunities, and that’s all I’m about. The life I have right now is good, is comfortable. But, it’s time to take it up a notch and see what else I can accomplish!

Grad school here I come… fingers crossed!!!
