Go Go Go





Man, October has been a busy month. I went to the much anticipated Girls Weekend 07, the Charlotte NASCR race & fishing at the Suwanee River . I've also been in Ocala, Tampa and Gainseville a few times. What a month.

Things are going okay. I dropped my classes this semester. Being sick after the girls weekend put me behind. The only class I liked was Algebra. I was off for two days w/ my cold and didn't call my professor. I missed a test and went from a high B to a 57. Yeah, wasn't happy about that. Biology I haven't had a clue since day one & my two electives were stupid. My one elective "Success in College and Beyond" I played charades for 2 weeks ... WTF?!?! ("Am I going to play charades for my final exam?") So needless to say I'm not upset about dropping that class. My other elective was "History of Music" and this a-hole would have an 80 question test every other week; 30 of the questions we never discussed & the other 50 were worded so tricky no one could pass. So school is done for this semester. I was upset about it but my doc and I both feel it's not worth getting upset about.

Went to the doc a week or two ago. Things are going well. I'm not where I want to be so we are doing some routine adjustments, nothing drastic. I am feeling more like myself so I'm all for it.
I'm ready to move. I am grateful to my father and mother for letting me live w/ them (and taking care of me during my desperate time of need) but I am ready to have my own place again. I will miss my Mom though, I have enjoied living w/ her.

I've finally (thanks to my service in the Air Force) been able to get caught up on all the bills I wasn't able to pay after my stint in Maryland and not working for 6 months. All of those are paid off and I am ready to move out! I don't have anything ... I have my bedroom furniture & a Playstation 2 so I guess I'll sit on my bed and stare at .... nothing, I don't have t.v. :) It's all good, piece by piece I'll build back what I once had (wall to wall furnished 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, loaded kitchen, my LazyBoy sofa :( ...). It's just material things right?

Moving leads me to my next topic. I love my sisters. I love the kids but I hate cold weather. I don't know if I can bring myself to live in North Carolina. I need the sunshine for my mental health. My idea place to live would be ... Costa Rica, I haven't been there yet but once I go I won't be coming back. Since that isn't an option right now Florida is as good as it gets. I don't want to live in this small of a town ever again (like Albermarle or Matthews N.C.) so when I move it will be 5 minutes from a city. I lived in Tampa for a short while & loved it. I've thought about moving back down there but I don't know anyone. I still have some folks I keep in touch w/ from when I worked at Mac Dill but I didn't "hang out" w/ them when I worked w/ them; I'm sure their still home-bodies. If I move to N.C. obviously I'll have my sisters so that is a great advantage. For now I'm thinging Ocala (also known as Slow-cala). I have friends/acquaintances up there and it's where we go when we go out, its the same distance to work I'm dirivnig now, closer to Gainseville and there are things to DO! Ocala isn't a great town (I guess you could call it a city but it's not Virginia Beach, Honolulu or Tampa) but it's better than being stuck in redneckville! There's a decent mall, movie theaters, restaurants, bars ... better than where I'm at now.

So my plan for now is to stay out of school until I can mentallty handle it, move to Ocala, work through season and around March or so ... No, when it gets WARM in N.C. I'll check out the Charlotte area. Maybe I can live in Florida through snow-bird season & N.C. during off season ... if only I were that rich :)

It's about time you udpated! Sorry to hear about your classes this semester. But I agree. What is done is done. No use crying over spilled milk, right?
Loved the pictues...especially the one of me and Renee. You were not very excited about my face miaking that night as I recall! :-)
Last but not least, I'll send you an e-mail about sharing your photos with Kodak!
And but the way...NC does not get THAT cold. I think you can handle it!

Sorry about deleting my last comment! My spelling sucked! Kelly is right...It's not that cold here. Sure, we get a few days of freezing weather - but so does FL! We just have the added bonus of possible snow! Anyway, do what feels right to you. Only you know what you want out of life! And about the classes - try again next time.
