I Spent All My Wishes Wishing Times Were Good
Taking a break is a good thing. It sort of puts things into perspective. Not that I learned any major life lessons seeing as I spent 48 hours last weekend reading Harry Potter and the preceding week seeing the new Harry Potter movie four times. But I still feel like I was able to step away from something I was letting have too much control over my life. Although, now that I’m posting and reading blogs again, I see myself slipping back into the old mold. But maybe that’s not such a bad thing. Only time will tell.
These last two weeks have been eventful as I have officially registered for school in order to complete my degree in History. If my Italian class has taught me anything (other than Italian of course) it’s that I need to do something for myself. And going back to school is it.
I’m excited and nervous about the whole prospect. I know I’ll be working harder than I have in many, many years and that makes me apprehensive about the whole thing. Seeing as I’m pretty much the laziest person any of you will ever have the pleasure of knowing.
I have also applied and interviewed for a job at a local hospital. While I feel slightly guilty about giving up on this job after only a year, I know that I can’t take three more years of this unless something changes pretty drastically. The new job would mean a pay cut, but also put me back on familiar ground. And if there is anything I crave right now, it’s familiarity. I should know by the end of the week if I got the job.
That’s all that happened in my world. Now that I look back on it, it’s pretty pathetic. Oh well, I am starting to accept my life will never be the exciting, rock star life I constantly wish for. And that’s ok.

Welcome back, your loyal readers missed you!
It’s always good to step back and reassess things. BTW I don’t think any of us believe you’re lazy.

Thanks man. Don’t get crazy with the whole “We don’t think you’re lazy” idea…you just watch.

Welcome back, and congrats on school, and good luck with the job. It’s great that you’re doing things for yourself. As for taking a pay cut, if it makes you happier, it is totally worthwhile. Life is too short to spend it stuck in situations that make you unhappy.
