changes

so, lately I've been feeling really overbooked, but didn't really know how to simplify things in my life as I've really loved the different things I've been involved in. Anyway, the economy seems to out of control lately and yesterday a bunch of positions at my work were eliminated, including mine. They let me know that as soon as the number of kids at the treatment center raises again, I'm the first that they'll hire back, so that was nice to hear, but for now i think I'm going to take this as a much needed break and and try and play... i mean study... a little more. Luckily, I had two jobs. yep.

25 random things... i give in...

25 Random things

1. I have traveled to more countries than states.
2. I get really frustrated with fashion, and don’t like things that are too trendy… and tend to wear way too many monotone colors.
3. I don’t like having too many articles of clothes, whenever I get something new I try to get rid of something.
4. I am the extreme of middle children; there are 6 older and 6 younger.
5. I struggle to be myself around people who I don’t think are sincere.
6. I sleep with LOTS of blankets and seem to never be able to really warm up.
7. My favorite things to do are to Ski (water and snow), and be active doing whatever with family or close friends.
8. As I get older I like big groups less and less. Unless it’s family of course.
9. I tend to overbook myself a lot, and am trying to figure out how to change this about myself.
10. I am pretty oblivious when it comes to most media, especially music, TV, and who actors are.
11. I love to take walks and just think, especially in the mountains. Only I finally decided that I probably shouldn’t do it alone anymore.
12. I tend to go in 2-3 month cycles of eating the same foods over and over because I don’t like having to think about what I should eat.
13. I really don’t like painting my nails because I never get around to taking it off before it starts chipping and looking tacky.
14. I can’t stand uncomfortable shoes, no matter how cute or inexpensive they are.
15. I get really frustrated when things are not organized or don’t have a place where they belong… although that doesn’t mean they are always in the correct place.
16. Although I used to be able to stay up late a lot and didn’t need a lot of sleep, this is not longer the case… and I’ve rarely been able to nap.
17. I’m embarrassed how much I have to rely on a planner…I never wanted my life to be this complicated. But it is, and my memory is terrible… so the planner is necessary.
18. I am an awful speller. If I didn’t live in the world of spell check, I don’t know how I would get through school.
19. I sometimes think that I should be Brazilian.
20. My favorite color is green.
21. I once took a sailing class, it was one of my favorite classes ever, I managed to flip the boat over, and back over again right side up without getting wet. I was avoiding cold water .
22. I have managed to go a semester without eating sugar, twice.
23. I have been skydiving
24. I don’t eat fast food… I have never really liked it and the smell makes me feel ill.
25. I collect jewelry and maps from around the world.
