The last 3 months of my life

           Well, it has been 3 months since I wrote on here and a lot has changed in my personal and professional life. Well, I will start with my professional life because it seems to be the easiest to talk about for right now. Let’s start with school. School has NOT been easy for me this term and I think I know why. I have been in school since 2007 until now and I am still going to school. I will have been in school for 6 years, when I graduate in June 2013. So my motivation has gone down badly. I am losing my drive to want to learn and to do better. It shows in my General Point Average (GPA). When I graduated in 2009, I had a GPA of 3.8, now I am down to a GPA of 3.2. This isn’t me, I know it isn’t, but I am at a point in my life where I just want to graduate and move forward. I want to be working in my field. So, I am hoping that when I graduate or sooner I can find a job in my field and get the hands on experience that I need for my field.

            Jobs are hard to find anywhere in the world right now, but I think it is a little harder to find out in Michigan. The only reason I want to stay in Michigan is because I have family and friends here. That is the ONLY REASON, I don’t like Michigan winters because it hurts my wrists (Carpal Tunnel) which they freeze up in the winter. I would like to move out of state, but I will look for a job here first. The only other reason I would stay in Michigan is if MR. Right (The One) found me and I know we would be going places in a relationship. Anyways, jobs are hard to find and finding them in a location that is good with good pay is even harder. So I am hoping to get my resume updated and my portfolio redone before next spring and to have finished a few movie/miniseries before classes start again and a Demo Reel done too.

            Now for my personal life which has been crazy the last three months, but here it goes anyways. Weight has been an issue with me since I was a kid. About 6 months ago, I decided to change my life with weight. I decided it wasn’t going to control me anymore and it was working up until 3 weeks ago. I was losing weight (34 pounds at the time), but then a guy found me on one of the dating sites I am on and we clicked. I was still working out because I was doing it for me and not him. There was some bumps in the road with the relationship, but we got through it or so I thought. I had told him to take some time for himself and he said, “NO, NO, I’m Fine.” So I took him at his word, well during this time I helped him with washing his clothes and helped clean his apartment. Now, I never do that kind of thing for a guy unless I know I have something with him. Well, After helping him out and saying the 3 words, I LOVE YOU then it went downhill after those words were said, but not from me. I stated that I wouldn’t say them first. He did during sex. I said it in return because I felt it in my heart. Well a week later, the guy tells me that he feels like crap and doesn’t want to date me anymore because he needs time to think things through. He said he would contact me in 3 weeks. Well, this Thursday is 3 weeks and I am not looking forward to it. I told him I have let him go and I have. Since that time, I have forgiven him. I feel that holding a grudge will not help me at all. In turn of letting him go, I have been eating like crazy and not watching my food intake. I think I have gained 5 or more pounds. I just getting over the ex and when he “needed time for himself” he left me during my hell weeks of school. That is 2 hell weeks of classes. I call them hell weeks because it is my make it or break it time for getting all homework done (which I have been behind in since the start of classes) or I fail and have to pay for classes out of pocket. On top of all that, I was to get my monthly visitor and I didn’t want to weight in those last 2 hell weeks of school because of the ex, period, and overeating. Now that school is finally out (Thank YOU GOD!) now I can get back to me. I can get back to writing in my food journal which I started this week (which isn’t easy, but learning again).

            Now getting back to me is the hard part, as soon as school got out I went to work all week (day and night), which I love, but what I didn’t know was going to happen was that my folks had some car trouble upnorth and no one to help them. I offered to help because they are my family. SO I did, but I did a no no and got into trouble. Now I am hoping My boss will understand. If not, guess I am back to looking for a job, but anyways that is life.

            So I have been keeping busy with my friends and trying new activities. The first being on Sunday, I went with my one of my Best Friends to a renaissance festival in Vassar Michigan. It was small and nice. Their clothes were more affordable and so were the products. We watched a fire show with lady and Gypsies dancing. It was nice. Then later that night, My friends joined a competition. I don’t think I can do it, but I will give it a shot. Congrats to my friends that did do it. I am proud of them. As for more activities that I have been doing, I trying rollerblading, but my rollerblades are so old that they cracked on me, now I have to get them all replaced. I played tennis and I found it to be very fun. I think I will be trying the sport more this summer. I think I will be trying swimming, water aerobics, soccer, and some more when I can think of them. I will be putting them up on here and tell of the experiences. I am going to lose the weight I gain and then some.

Also I am  getting some personal projects done this summer besides the ones I listed up above, I am planning to do some arts (latch and hook) rugs, reading a few school books and 3 personal books. One is a romance (since I have none in my life, I can at least read it), second is how to read men, and the third is a series about the Hunger Games (my friends want me to read it. So I will give it a try.) I am also going shopping/garage sale shopping for my future home. I am also taking a few vacations this summer. Well, that is all I have for now, but I will keep everyone updated on my life.
