I can't believe its been almost a year since I wrote a journal entry here at deviantArt. Well, its been an eventful year, I suppose.

I almost have my associates degree in college and I graduated high school. I now have a boyfriend and we have a date coming up. I'm going to be 19 in...*checks calender and counts the days* 20 days.

I don't feel 18 (or 19) though, funny as that sounds. Mentally, I feel like I'm 77 or something but when I think of myself I always think of myself as 13 or 14. Funny ol' world, innit?

Anyway, I've taken a quarter off of college and I'm going back in January for the winter quarter, to finish getting my associates degree. I've changed my major from Nursing to Writing, so I'll be earning a General Associates. Personally, I wish I would have realized I wanted to be a writer sooner, becuase now I've wasted 3 quarters on classes I don't even need....irritating but its not like its permanent damage or anything.

Moving on, my boyfriend (who also happens to be the guy I was talking about two posts or so ago) and I have been going steady for.....6 or so days. I've never been happier and I love teasing him and just standing next to him makes me feel content.

My family is having some financial troubles, because their income was cut by almost 60% in just one short month. So we're taking care of the money we get much better than we used to. It doesn't help that I can't find a job (at ALL), no matter how many places I try or how much I bug them. Where I live, they're just NOT hiring! Its so irritating and it makes me feel more than a little useless.

BUT! once I start getting a paycheck, I'll be trying to find a studio apartment closer to the college so I can live it up on my own.

My dream life would have to be a small house with a big yard so I can own a Great Dane (MY FAVORITE DOG IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!), but thats not for a long while in the future, which makes me impatient, but I'll live lol.

I feel my art and poetry and stories have finally reached the next level, and I'm pretty proud of them. I haven't posted any of my new stuff because I don't have a scanner and I don't particularly feel like typing 8 or so pages of my shortest short story lol. I'll get on my lazy ass and do it soon, but right now, I just feel kinda....blah... lol

Well, if you've read my journal this far, than...good for you! You don't get a prize or anything, but I still think its an acomplishment lol.

That or your a stalker and crazy xD jk jk

love to you peeps!
