how many blogs are titled, "my first blog"? well, this IS my first blog. in fact, this is my first journal entry in at least five years, and here i am making it public.
i am returning to school at the age of 39. i actually started in the fall, and now i am an A student for the first time ever. my highschool gpa was 2.8. ouch. i found that out when i had to get my transcripts to apply for college. i don't think i was dumb, i think i just didn't give a darn about school when i was 16 years old. other things were more important. namely, drinking. i didn't do drugs (yet) but i drank like a fish throughout my youth. i skated by on the bare minimum in high school. just enough to get through it.
so i'm back. in school that is. and now i do give a darn. i want to be a nurse when i grow up. things i have been: charter boat cleaner, bookkeeper, restaurant help (dishes, food prep, server), massage therapist, non-profit lackey, personal assistant. i'm ready for the "real job" or professional career, to start. and that i have found, requires higher education. they don't let just anyone draw blood and change bed pans... only the highly educated. sign me up.
well, today is my 6 month anniversary with dave and he is taking me out to dinner, so i must wrap this up.
oh, before i go... did you make any new year's resolutions? mine: practice fiddle every day.
