Making some changes...

I have decided to make some changes.

Step 1: Leave my past in the past...meaning, I deleted a bunch of people off of my facebook that I used to be friends with in high school and some people from my old job in Maine.

Reasoning: It's not like they talk to me now so I have kept only those that speak to me. I cannot stand it when I send someone a message and they don't dignify it with even an ok or I'm fine. When someone sends me a "how have you been?" message, I take the time to at least say "fine, and you?"

Step 2: Lose some weight and get a new hair-do.

Reasoning: I'm starting to not like the way that I look anymore. My hair is always in a pony tail and is the drabbest dark brown ever! I want to get my hair cut, colored and highlighted. Maybe it will make me feel better too. The weight has needed to come off for some time now and I am getting to the point where I want to do something about it. If I didn't want to do anything about it, I wouldn't.

Step 3: Make some new friends in my new city.

Reasoning: I have been in this new city since March 15th. This is now July 27th. I have not met anyone, done anything fun or just vegged out. I want to make some friends so when I can go out I have someone to go with. I love being able to go out with my husband and my sister but I need some friends. I am starting to feel the way I did in high school when I didn't have any friends.

I haven't thought of any other steps as of yet but I'm sure I will think of some more. I am just getting sick of the way things are right now. So it is time for a change...............

Finally have time!

If there is one thing that bothers me it would have to be people that don't own up to their own mistakes and then try to blame it on others. Let me explain. So in my substance abuse treatment class, we were assigned partners to work with on intake interviews. One person was to be the counselor and the other, the client. Ok, so I was assigned to someone and tried to contact them since this past Tuesday because the assignment was due Sunday. Another student was unable to get in touch with her partner so she and I decided to work together on it so we would get proper credit. So then the morning the assignment is due we both get emails from our original partners saying that they have tried contacting us all week. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? I don't think so!!!!!!!!!! So, because I have been burned before with this whole group work and partner thing, I saved every email that I sent which is time and day stamped and I saved every email from my professor that I received back. It still irritates the crap out of me that my original partner tried to say that she tried contacting me and that I never got back to her. Why is it that people think I am stupid? Needless to say, my new partner and I got our assignment done properly and on time. If it had not been for a proactive approach, we most likely would still be waiting...

I never realized how much work school would be. I think it is because my classes are not 16 weeks like a campus school. They are 8 weeks, though technically 7 1/2 weeks. It seems like as soon as I get my homework done and turned in I have to start another assignment, and then another and another and so on. I need a vacation!

At least I have the blog as an outlet. My husband got a new phone so I really haven't seen him since. He keeps playing with the phone and he doesn't listen. When he does want to talk it is usually about the stupid phone. Like right now he is standing next to me telling me about ring tones... Hopefully, eventually this will blow over.

I think I need to just relax. Time to call it a night, I think. More later.
