i decided to start my blog today seeing how i am conflicted... for starters, i do not like feeling tied down/trapped, and i feel this way now. i want to get out of this city and move away... explore other places... namely hawaii, seattle, california... but i am in school and i have to finish that first. i want to get certified as a veterinary technician, so i am in the process of doing just that. so, until i finish that, i am stuck here. not that here is such a bad place.... i am just bored of it. i want to see other places. my friends here are amazing... i have the BEST roomate i could have EVER asked for... (but i feel that i earned it too, having gone thru my fair share of the shittiest, WORST, backstabbing roomates....but such is life...)........and then i come to the self-realization that i have trouble planning for the future, because i live too much in the now.... is this a bad thing?
for instance... i want to go to hawaii after i graduate, year 2010, and travel there.. island hop... maybe settle... i would like to drive cross country... then fly from cali to hawaii.... but that would take some serious $$$.... a whole lotta what i dont EVER have enuff of....i think it is definately doable... i just have to be more frugal with my money... right?... yeah.... tell me this come friday or sunday night when i can get out and socialize.... and forget it!! i just want to drink, relax and have a good time NOW..... then wake up monday thinking.. "damn, when do i get paid again?"
okay.. so i think i should set up a savings account just for that trip... yes... that is what i will do..hopefull... in the meantime... i am going to be looking for a 2nd job..part time... preferably bartending, serving if i have to.... then i can REALLY make some extra money!!! so, let's see how that goes.
for now.. i look forward to my trip to seattle in december to visit my sister and 3 nieces.... then hopefully make it to new york to visit some friends for the new year...
i really need to lay off the partying and try to spend more time traveling..... maybe i will make that a goal for next year....maybe.....
