Sorry I don't post as much as I used to; life is much more demanding than it used to be.
School is going well, for those of you who read about my decision to go back to school to become an interior designer. I'm learning there's much more I can do with this career field than I ever thought. My first day of class we discussed the different ways you can specialize in this career, and I was excited to hear that there is a specialization in physical and mental disabilities as well as in working with the elderly and aging. As someone with a psychology degree previously from college this seems like a place I would fit very well. Especially considering my past work with children who had more severe forms of Autism. It could be very fun and beneficial for me to specialize in creating rooms that are psychologically soothing to those who suffer from autism, as well as being able to work in communities for older adults from my studies of development in school as well.
The gym is really paying off. I haven't crossed off any goals yet, but I do feel like I'm on the road there. One of my coworkers last night asked me if I had been working out, and it makes me so much happier to know that my hard work is starting to show. I've noticed its becoming easier for me to move things at work and I have to ask for help less often which is also a big bonus.I should be due for my 6 week check in at the middle of the month, and we will see where I am at!
Pretty much all things in life are going well, I've got a car show to attend coming up at the beginning of October, with my boyfriend, and hopefully the Grand Prix will be fixed up by then so we have something to show when we get there. Unfortunately, it's a mad scramble to get it done the last weekend beforehand because there was so much to do and it wasn't started soon enough (though to be fair, I'm new to cars so I couldn't have told you how much needed to be done if I tried, so that's mostly on him).But anyway, that should be fun to do. It's my first time going to a car show, and also my first time helping out on a car build. though fortunately this one was only engine repairs and a few cosmetic fixes because he has had it a long time and taken good care of it (until the engine went up three years ago and caused all sorts of issues).
I've just recently purchased my first car on my own, a brand new 2016 Honda Cr-v, in rust orange. I miss my old car some days because of all the memories is had, all the college trips, my first job, all the great times with friends when we'd go out to dinner or the movies. But I still have those memories and it was time to move on to something that didn't have as much risk of needing costly repairs. It was 14 years old with 100,000 miles on it, and things were just starting to wear out, but unfortunately for me... it was always the expensive things. I'll always remember my old buddy, but it is time for some new adventures, and some new memories. I almost cried when I left the old car in the parking lot at the dealership though.
I'll try and get back to you guys soon with another update!
Until then,
3M
