A new journey always I guess. That is a good thing though, right?
After discovering that the school I have been attending and paying a crazy amount for is not accredited, well they are but they are owned by those who accredit them, yeh fishy, and none of the credits will transfer to ANY other school, so with all that and more I have decided to not go back. I feel really good about this decision. I feel a fair bit frustrated about the $6300 I have already invested but that was a choice I made and have to live with, which will be ok. I just know that in the end $60000 will not be worth it. I already have been sewing for 11 years and have a lot of knowledge,I just have to motivate myself to get where I want to go without a shody degree I have paid way too much that no one respects. During the last 6 months I have been going I have learned little that I did not already know, excpet that one of the major instructors is very disorganised, gossips too much and sometimes very confused, :P. But so with that said. I am excited to have a little less stress on that end and more time to spend sewing and creating as opposed to doing homework.
I still have an internal struggle with the lack of having a bachlors in anything but as my mom said that must have been installed when I was younger from my dad, thinking I can not be a success without a degree. I logically know that is not the case. So I am trying to force that in my thick skull!
I just hope I can motivate myself enough :)

Monday Monday :)
Although it is 11 pm so almost to Tuesday :)
I had been dealing with a difficult person at work as of recent and still being the newest person makes it a tad bit difficult to filter through everyone's personalities etc. And since I am a hard person to get to know and normally the observer, my personality does not always show through, which in ways I think is good. But anyway rambling. So I was googling ways to difficult people and I particular likes this blurb on it. Sadly I do not remember where I found it so I apologize for not being able to cite that.
PRACTICE INDIFFERENCE AND EMOTIONAL DETACHMENT- LEARN HOW NOT TO LET A JERK TOUCH YOUR SOUL
Management gurus and executives are constantly ranting about the importance of commitment, passion and giving all you have to a job. That is good advice when your bosses and peers treat you with dignity. But if you work with people who treat you like dirt, they have not earned your passion and commitment.
PRACTICE GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS WITHOUT REALLY CARING.
DO NOT LET THEIR VICIOUS WORDS AND DEEDS TOUCH YOUR SOUL: LEARN TO BE COMFORTABLY NUMB UNTIL THE DAY COMES WHEN YOU FIND A WORKPLACE THAT DESERVES YOUR PASSION AND FULL COMMITMENT.

Well I figured I would try and update since I invited some new friends to the space. However I have barely anything here but me yammering on :P what's new, eh? I wish I had more pics to post, I need to work on that. I have done a few projects for school I need to take pictures of but again have yet to do that, and I just finished a bag but eh I am not that happy with it, as much as I had hoped to be. And I started a bright scrappy quilt. So anyway, I shall try and get those done once my final is over tomorrow and have a break from school next week.

And to where...
Well did not get some of the best news today. It seems to take such little to get into a spot and SO much to get out of it. Trying so hard to get out of the current mess, ugh, so difficult it seems we will never get to an end. (sigh) anyway! We will get there, it just seems so far away and so hard to get to. I just worry it will never happen. It seems I have been trying to get it back on track for years now. What will make it all work now, lol. Eh things are different and we will get there. Anyway, enough of all that. :)

and the little frustrations...
Well to say the least my week has been a bit full. My grandmother went into the hospital due to a broke hip. She has succesful surgery and is in rehab now though. So good news indeed!
My laptop lost its ability to boot, which caused me to have to reformat it all, which caused me to lose my English paper, which I had to rewrite! Yeh frustration major. Plus you can not imagine the time it takes to put WOW back on a silly pc! But all back on now and English paper rewrote and turned in. AND saved on the external hard drive. So I must remember to save everything on that hard drive from now on!
I had a kinda blue feeling last night which creeped into greater strength after English class and I got my home work back. I did OK, but again ok is not good enough. So I really wish there was a way I could become better at not being so wanting to be perfect at all things and beating mself up emotionally and mentally when this does not happen. To bad I can not strive for perfection in the manner of being unperfect, HUH!
So this lead me to do pretty much nothing but fal asleep watching a film on the couch. So low and behold when I wokr up this am, I checked my email! Well, my new job that I have been working on since last Novemeber, yehte govt is indeed slow BUT when they are ready tey are ready. So they send me an email telling me I start MONDAY, sheesh! Thanks for the heads up I get to give my current job huh! I feel guilty r giving such little notice but that just the way it is. I feel unready to commit myself to a full time real job (I work for an agency now where I can dictate when I am available to work) because of school and how tired it seems I am because of what I am alreadydoing. However the experience and the benifits and the money are all better. So that haas to be good. And we have goals we much reach in order to be able ot buy a house next year. I have to commit myself to that and taking this job is part of that! So I have to look forward positivly! I am hoping also if I am more set on a reglar schedule again and working harder (since my current job is cheese) that I will sleep better and be more active, thus making me not as tired as I have been. Since it is a drained feeling, not really physical tiredness. So let us hope so!
(sigh)
Today and everyday I am thankful to have a supportive husband who is understanding, positive beyond all things and accepting of who I am, especially when Iam evil!
