I'd rather have change in my pocket.

If I had a dime for every time I've thought about updating my blog in the past few months, I'd have like 9 dimes. 

So much has happened since my last post that part of me wanted to give up on this "chronicling a year of change" thing. Hence my lack of posts.  After all, in order to truly chronicle all that has happened, I would have to write a novel. From what I understand, blogs aren't supposed to be chapter books.  So why bother?

But no. I can't let this one slide. I have seen far too many personal goals of mine buried under a thick blanket of outward responsibility (i.e., school, work, extracurricular activities, my social life, etc.).  I often wonder why I am my own toughest critic when it comes to my success with all of these things, yet when it comes to my personal health, goals, and growth I always seem to find away to let myself slide.  

Sometimes I joke about having a stomach ulcer by the time I'm 30.  Sometimes it's hard to convince myself that I'm joking.

I'm going to try to keep up with this thing.  Even though I feel like I've fallen behind on my own life, there's no time like the present to start playing catch-up. This blog is going to be my first attempt to follow through with something for myself. In the next few days, I hope to recount some of the major things that have happened within the past few months so that I can move on. After all, moving on seems to be a recurring theme in my life right now. Gotta love change.

For now, I have one month and 10 days left until I graduate. And I hear back from what may very well be my "dream job" on Monday.  Stay tuned.
