Things that Make ya go mmmmm.....

Alright.

Life is pretty much the same. Boring right? I get up ridiculously early to go to a job that to no end tap dances on my nerves of the regular. I leave that job to go to another. I leave the other to go to class. Then I go home to try and sleep for a few hours before doing it all again. Can you say mundane??!!

I'm getting into this groove where I'm not even interested in hanging out wit my folks anymore. Is that bad? I'm always either tired, or thinking about what I have to do the following day. Ugh!! On top of that God is putting me through some serious transition man. I don't find the same contentment in doing the things I used to do. I'm not talking about "the thangs I used to do, I don't do no more. The places I used to go..." I'm talking about everyday regular stuff. Chillin. Playin my guitar. Writing music. I don't find the same enjoyment that I once did and that's a problem.

When I was just chillin I was so happy to just be relaxing in the fact that I don't have anything else to do. Now I feel like God is really beckoning me like..."Anjelica, I know that you're relaxed and everything, but uh...you need to spend some more time with me." I'm like...ok God, I DO spend time with you. But the time I used to spend with Him no longer suffices. I can't move to point B in my life by sustaining myself with what was required at point A. So...more time with God...check.

I'm writing music a lot more again. I don't play it much for anyone except one or two of my homies, but it has become a great therapy. A friend of mine actually wants to sing one of my songs, and I'm more than happy to hand it over. When she sings that song it blesses me man!

So I've been writing about this wonderful job opp that may be presenting itself. Well ladies and gents...it has. Well there was two. My immediate offer has not responded which SUCKS because I want out of this crappy work-work-school rut...like right now. My long term plan pulled through. In February of 2011 I will be going back to Iowa to finish the final registration process of being a counselor overseas. I cannot freaking wait!! Why Feb 2011 Anjelica? That's seriously like 16 months away. Yea I know...that's why it's my "LONG term" plan. Here's the story:

I went to a lab high school that was attached to a University called the University of Northern Iowa and I randomly came across this program they have where they send professionals to other areas of the world in need of different professional services. Now a friend of mine was actually doing this and has been for some time. In two years she has worked in Peru, Greece, Egypt, and is on her way to Istanbul. I was like...mane...hook me up with what agency you workin wit!! Turns out folks it's UNI.

I had planned on going to Aussie Land to work with an organization called Mission Australia, but their programs are grant funded, which mean they are not guaranteed to be there in a year after the grant is up, and the way the economy is lookin...they just might not be there in a years time. So I'm questioning the security of that organization. SO I got an e-mail from a UNI faculty member (and fellow NU alum) instructing me to finish the registration process next September so that when 2011 comes I am ready with my Masters degree to ship out. I was talking to her about the whole thing and salaries are awesome, transportation and apartments are provided, week-end trips to neighboring cities and countries are likely. The only stipulation...I've already begun the process so I HAVE to finish my Masters in Dec of next year. What stay focused? What no time off? What loans?

I'm still goin for my Ph.D. but ima need a break...and making cash overseas sounds like a pretty good break. But a whole year and a half? OMG That's a long time. So in the mean time I'm going to Jamaica at the end of Feb. That should tide me over until the following Dec. right?

School. School is awesome. A friend of mine is going to school for environmental science and we talk almost everyday about how school really is awesome. I mean we are both challenged by it, but have this weird love for it. What the heck would I be doing if I wasn't in school? IDK...cuz I've never NOT been in school. Well I took my first round of tests last week...As all around. In my Pathology class I actually got a 102! How the HECK does that happen? Well please believe that I asked no questions.
