Man it's a good thing this isn't what I do for a living or anything or I would be pretty screwed at making a living... Things have been just a tad hectic lately causing me to fall behind on this blog. Especially with mid terms coming up and a series of other things that are keeping me quite busy!
Well to fill you all in--
I have an adorable black, crazy kitten named Atticus. I think I might have said this already? He has certainly brightened things up in my apartment and has brought a lot of silliness as well! It's nice to wake up and come home to something everyday! And he is very smart. He knows how to fetch and sit, much like a dog...
I didn't get into nursing school! This will be a long rant. So I ended up talking to my advisor who told me I would have gotten an interview for the program had I not gotten two points taken off of my application for retaking two classes I sort of blew off my freshman year of college... Mistakes learned folks. I could just kick myself. My fate was changed by TWO POINTS! And it stinks because I am already ahead on school so I am basically sitting on my thumbs for another semester...but luckily I should be good to go for next semester and learned how to negate the two points. I have also sculpted a plan B to become a nutritionist (well, majoring in dietetics) if all else fails because the curriculum is essentially the same, and I could get a nursing degree down the road in less than a year with another degree under my belt! Not to mention I would have a minor in Biology and Heath Sciences. I am also waiting for my fate on a nursing school back home... But this all brings me to something big.
I think I have decided to stay out in my tiny apartment... I have been toying with the idea of coming home multiple times since August and have been absolutely bonkers over trying to decide what is best for myself. However, I cut the crap out, the people who don't lift me up, and have been focusing on my job, my school work, and making new friends. Things have been so much more calm. I think that I can finally breathe and see that maybe me not getting in right away is all apart of a bigger plan, and that I am right where I am supposed to be this second, even if I feel like I am a speck of dust in the Milky Way getting nowhere. Neotiquam erro!!! (That is Latin for "I am not lost".) Life does get better... I just need to keep trucking through.
Also, congratulations to my mother on completing her chemo treatments! That also helps tremendously that she is in a better state with her journey.
Anyways, I need to study, continue to plan a mini Spring Break vay-cay to Minneapolis with some people, and see if my guy's going to come around to eat his birthday cake I made him!
Have a great day everyone <3

Do you realize?
I think I have finally realized things about my life... This will be a short post because I am rather upset.
Who cares if I want tattoos and piercings? Who cares if I date older men? Who cares if I take time to get a degree I want?
To me I am me and that is it. I no longer care what other people care of me. Life is too short to care as much as most people do. I am happy about who I am.

Gurdy and the Half Priced Cheesecake
Alright folks, lots to catch up on in the last week or so!
I will start with the fact that I adopted an adorable black kitten close to a week ago. His name is Atticus. My old roommate, Kate, and I went to the local humane society where upon walking into a room full of terrified kittens, he ran right up to my feet and began nuzzling me. We were going to leave and he put his paws on the glass of the door. I knew right then that I had to take him home! His original name was Baron. His mother cat was feral and they rescued her and her kittens. He was the last to be adopted out of the bunch because he was all black, which is fine by me because I have him now! I could not ask for a "roommate" with a better personality. In fact, he is on my lap now as I compose this.
On a car note, I needed a new starter and I was humbly reminded to keep emergency funds on hand in the future... I need to watch my cash flow!
I will briefly comment on my love life and say that over the last few weeks I was more than right in moving on. Ever since I have put a lot behind me, things have been so much better and I have actually started smiling out here. Things are looking up! Now to just wait and see what happens...
Onto the reason of the title of this post... Monday I worked in the afternoon and was greeted by a sweet elderly lady in her 70s or 80s. She asked me about our desserts and coffee options because she had a special friend in her car. I was curious as to what she meant by "special friend" when up hobbled a small woman with the first one. Her hair was snow white and fixed, and she had makeup on and a sassy cheetah print peacoat. The first lady told me, "This is Gurdy, my friend. She is 100 years old!" I was amazed at how lively this woman was. She did not look to be 100, and she had a laughter that still warmed people's hearts. The women sat down and I went and got them coffee and they split a cheese cake. As I continued cleaning I couldn't help but realize how much this woman has seen in her life... The invention of the car, several wars, the Great Depression, technological and medical advances, family be born and die... there is so much to be reflected on. It was incredible to see her be so friendly and happy and it made me really think about how blessed we are for every day that we get.
I really hope I can keep on these posts because I have been learning these small life lessons almost daily now. Live life to the fullest! Whether I live til tomorrow or live to be 100 years old, I hope I can bring as much joy as Gurdy brought to me. I ended up buying their cheese cake for them that day as a late birthday gift to her. What strangers have you encountered that have impacted you?
Until next time-- <3
