ok.

so the following has happened, since May:

• May - i got into nursing school (YAY!)
• September - i quit my corporate job
• September - i can now actively blog about my life without worrying about being "discovered"
• September - i moved in with R, and four other guys...most of whom i've been friends with for years.
• September - my dog, C, lives with us too and it's awesome.
• September - i began clinical rotations as a nursing student...interesting stuff
• October - my sister, E, got married (YAY!)
• December - i made it through my first semester of nursing school (YAY!)
• Always - i'm broke (NO YAY)

i'm very interested in going into further detail about the past 10 months (holy shit)

i'm also very interested in attempting to document my clinical rotation experiences i've had with my clients without, of course, divulging their identity...

honestly, life was so boring to me because i felt like i was constantly juggling a dual-life of being in the corporate arena during the day and going to school/library/Starbucks at night...trying to make my dream happen. and being miserable used to be the very fuel i needed to write creatively and passionately...but i'm not miserable anymore. there's no cubicle, no fluorescent lighting and no Microsoft Outlook to stare at for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week.

i finally got out i'm finally acclimating with the fact that i'm actually going to realize this dream. that's exciting to me. i don't know how this whole "being happy" business will affect the quality/quantity/frequency of my writing, but i'm willing to give it a shot. a little frightening to think about blogging without complaints...i'll have to find some to throw in there, for good measure.
