Lazy days

August is my favorite month. And not just because it happens to be the month I was brought into this beautiful world. (though that's part of it...)

School starts in August. I love to learn (even if my grades never did show that...) and I'm super excited to be going back this semester! There are many "I don't know"s in my life right now, and my career/major is one of them. I don't have one, and the lack of direction has kept me out of school for the past two semesters now, and I need to go back. With a lack of direction, it was hard for me to fork out so much money on classes I didn't really need. However, I DO know that in conjunction with whatever my major turns out to be, I want to get my Auto Mechanics certificate. So. That's what I'm doing for now. Brake systems and lab, electrical systems and lab and automatic transmissions and transaxles and lab are all what's being served up this fall and I can not wait. Classes go from 7 am to 10 pm. We'll see how this turns out.

Also. Anyone who needs it, I don't charge for labor... Just sayin'.

There will also be a brief brake (yes, that was intentional) from auto classes for a traipse through an Interior Design class. With my good friend Eric. Who will be the only straight male there AND whose Birthday also happens to be in August. Today, as a matter of fact. Happy Birthday, dude. Breakfast this morning was heavenly! (we occasionally visit communal on tuesday mornings for breakfast. i got their french toast with a raspberry puree and maple syrup because on birthdays i can have carbs, dang it!! eric got a free birthday muffin with his tomato/chorizo/egg deliciousness. so great.)

August is also great because it's the end of Summer and means that Fall is just around the corner. Which just so happens to be my very favorite season.


Good things this month. Good, good things.

Music shows the hidden heart

I think a night at the symphony or opera is in order.

Something soul soothing; Enya just doesn't seem to be doing it these days. Time to call out the big dogs. Big guns. The cavalry. Whatever.

Much difficulty I am having with motivation in my life. Except in the health department, for some reason. My body, mind and soul have latched on to becoming healthy. (even if I did eat that dang bread stick, eric! my brain still needs to function...ha. but it won't happen again...)

I desperately need a job. I know this, yet I am having trouble with getting my resume updated and sent out. I need to go to school and finish a dang degree. Unfortunately, I'm having a most difficult time picking a major.

I don't know what my problem is, but I suspect it is closely connected to the fact that I have no direction in my life at the moment. (also, it is probably hard to pronounce.)

The sweet, tender notes of a symphony wrapped around me; this is what I need to do some serious soul searching. I need a little help to peer deep into my heart and figure out what I want.



Something a little more specific and material than just 'happiness' is needed at the moment.
