Humble

One thing I have learned from my experience over the last year was how to be humble. Not that I was ever a super snotty stuck up bitch, or wait was I? I didn't make gobs and gobs of money, but I did make more than I needed; but I still didn't think I had enough. Now I live on very little. I am much happier. I have more than I need. I don't want for materialist things any longer. It is a wonderful feeling. OK - yes, I wouldn't mind a shopping spree every once in a while, but then I think - what for? I have a closet full of clothes. HA! Clothes that no longer fit! What a relief it is to say that! Anyhow, I have plenty of clothes for what I need in my life right now. They are good for the lifestyle that I'm living. I have some cutesy outfits for going out, when I have an occasion date (when I have the time, and someone actually asks me out!) or when I get to go out with the girls (when I am invited - yes, that is my little pity party).

Anyhow .... I have been humbled ... and I love it! I would much rather have learned the things that I know and share it with the people that are still stuck in their "I gotta make money, lots and lots of money" MODE but you know what? They won't listen ... I wonder if they will ever be humbled? I have dreamt of this life, and I am so happy it was given back to me. Now, if I can just graduate, find a decent job, spend the rest of my life with someone who makes me laugh and truly gets me - my life will be good. No, I didn't birth children, I didn't win any awards BUT I know the difference between right and wrong. I know that I haven't done the things that some of you believe in your heads that I have done. I am a good person, you are the ones that are messed up. I wish you could just take a step back, RELAX, and enjoy your life instead of working all the time.

I Just Want to Celebrate!

Today is a great day!

Blessing from my Economics Professor

I am in my first few weeks of Spring Semester, my last semester at UNC-Greensboro and I am taking ECO375, Government & Business.  I believe I maybe in a little over my head.  Along with that, I have the newest edition of the textbook and I am finding that the prof isn't using that edition.  I asked him a question, referencing a specific question on a specific page and of course they didn't line up, so I wrote the question out in an email reply back.  In his response, he wrote back and quoted some text from the book, which I have searched hi and low for and CAN NOT LOCATE!  I am now officially FREAKING THE FUCK out!

How am I going to be able to study for his exams if I am not studying the same material?  An example of this would be the fact that I got a D on the first exam for Unit 1.

This evening, which by the way; it is STILL RAINING, he posted our discussion grades for Unit One and I received 35 out of 30 points!  Is this a mistake, or is he feeling sorry for me, did I really do a kick ass job and deserve this amazing mark?  I do ask a ton of questions via email and attend his twice weekly chat sessions, which nobody else bothers to attend.  Fingers crossed, he is giving this 'old lady' a break :)

Am I in Portland Today?

This morning I awoke to rain, and 6 hours later it is still raining.  Grey dreary skies and nothing but rain today.

I've been working on an assignment for my Business Policy & Strategy class, this is my senior capstone.  I'm at a roadblock and have emailed the professor for some guidance.  Now I am working on my Econ, and of course; another roadblock - and have emailed the professor.  So .... here I am, writing a blog!  Who would have thunk?!?  Most of my days are spent doing homework, then a few hours a day working on the websites that I do updates for for UplinkSpyder - a job that I truly love.

I am doing homework in bed today, I thought I would be more productive, plus it is super cozy.  Marley is burrowed under the covers at the foot of the bed, and Dutch & Pendleton are enjoying the day in bed as well.  All we need is tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches to make the day complete.
