Bump in the Road

I have hit a bump in the road called life.  For the last few weeks, I have been busy looking for a new job.

Unfortunately, my position at the college will not be renewed.  It's been a great experience; no regrets.  I have used the time away from news to study for the GRE, and actually achieving a milestone in my life.  Grad school.  

So, I need a little inspiration.  

Grad School Problems

So, it's been a really long time since I had time to sit down and write about my life.  But next week I will update myself...and the three other peeps who actual read my blog.

Get excited.

Not a sad mess. I promise.

Hello!  I have spent the last 6 months, on and off, studying for the GRE.  Well, I took my test last weekend, and I did ok. Now, my score could have been a lot higher--I just have to hope it will get me into the program, which tops my list.  Actually, I should rephrase that; the only school on my list.  It is kind of scary to only have one basket.  Get it eggs, basket...

There is a good chance I won't get into the program this go-around.  But I am going to take a chance.  Can you believe it? Me.   

I have worked hard to achieve the label ‘Sure Shot Kat.’ Okay, okay.  You really need to get your mind out of the gutter.  I am talking about my achievements.  I won’t say my condition has limited my life experiences; it just takes me a little longer to get where I want to be at the end of my days. It's been a great ride so far.  

Sure I don’t own my own house, or have a traditional family.  But I am okay.  Yes, I am an unmarried women and I am not a sad, sobbing mess.  We do exist.  According to a study, unwed ladies are unhappy because society doesn’t approve of their singleness. (http://goo.gl/8VioP)  

Hold on.  Let me check my calendar.  Yup.  It's 2012.

Hey, society get over it.   I want to get my master’s degree.  It doesn’t mean I don’t love kids...or want to find an Adam Levine of my own.  You can throw the hitting the peak of the hill argument in my face. Here's what I have to say to you.  It's my journey--not yours.  Booyah.

My new FSU treasures.

Yes, it is time to count down to the big game. I thought I would share a couple of my recent finds.

First, I found these awesome towels at Target for $4.99. They are perfect for any FSU fan.

I also love my new koozie...only wish it was gold not silver. Oh, well. I picked it up at Academy.

Time to go on tour again

It's just one of those days.  I am sitting here listening to Pandora, reminiscing song after song.  Each one reminds me of a time, space or face.  Music has always played a big role in my life.  

My dad was a radio dj in the '70s.  Sure, it was a small station in the middle of Arizona...but boy did he collect 1000s of albums.  My mom get stuck with most of them, and the rest are housed at my uncle's house.  Sorry.  She keeps talking about selling them.  Part of me agrees with her, but boy I wish I could listen to every single one of them for a little inspiration.

Right now, I am listening to a little Matchbox 20.

Wait.  Now, The Goo Goo Dolls are singing about tossed away dreams.

So, last year I wrote about my favorite songs.  My 30 day musical tour.  Now, I think I might pick 20 songs and write about my memories associated with them.  I just need to figure out where I should start.  This should be a fun experiment.
