I don’t know if it’s the new place, or the fact that I actually have money, or the thought of moving on and starting something new; but I’ve been in a great mood the past few days. A couple weeks ago I went through a tough time. I didn’t feel good about myself at all and didn’t see any hope for the future, just debt and no friends. I still feel that way sometimes, but I think mostly I didn’t like being alone. Luckily, I just inherited a new roommate so I don’t have to feel alone anymore. My new atmosphere has changed my perspective on things and I feel some hope now that life will get better. I need to know that all this debt and work and worry are building me towards something. I simply need to keep moving forward.

For my own personal amusement and perhaps to keep myself sane, I have decided to try once more. Plus it might be interesting to look back in the future upon my completely random, mixed up feelings and thoughts. Warning: Please excuse any blatant misspellings, grammatical errors, or nonsense. I will be hurling my thoughts at the keyboard and hope that my fingers can sort through the mess.
Anyways, onto new business: I am currently riding out my last week of semi-freedom (excluding work, of course) since class starts Monday, my Mom is coming up Wednesday, and me and my new roomie are moving next Friday. Next week will be a very hectic one! Words cannot express how ready I am to move out of my current apartment. It’s in a terrible neighborhood, 1 minute from a strip club called “Bottom’s Up,” and surrounded by people I consider to be rednecks and drug dealers. My new place offers a nice swimming pool, state of the art fitness facility, tanning beds, and one free massage a week. Yes, you read that correctly. Free. Massages. I can’t wait to decorate!
Also, I’m excited for classes to start. I’ll finally be observing this semester! I’m not sure what all this entails, but I do know that after school, we’ll be tutoring some students on things other then just English, like Creative Writing and Journalism. I’m super excited! I’ll finally be getting a small taste of what teaching will actually be like.
Another thing I’m excited about is a new change happening with me. I don’t have the most impressive past when it comes to school and relationships. I can be pretty selfish and sometimes I don’t think about how my actions effect the ones I love.  I’ve also let my insecurities and low self-esteem get the best of me. I’ve been working on dusting myself off and focusing on the road ahead. With the recent death of one of my close friends, I have had to seriously take a step back and reevaluate my life. I believe that I know now what I need to do in order to be successful and happy. Cross your fingers that these changes, this new outlook on the future, will stay with me and will yield amazing results. Every day is a new day, and this time I’m going to shine.
