...zzz.....zz..(yawn)...(stretch)...
Ok, I'm up! I've been hybernating for awhile, I know. But I'm not dead! I'm sure that's news to your ears. Anyway, there hasn't been too much going on lately. I'm just trying to grow up, I guess.
Let's see! I am thinking about a new apartment. Something closer to work. That, and the place I live at now isn't a place I'd like to invite friends to. It's a bit run down and dusty. The only reason I took it was b/c the rent was cheap and at the time I moved in I needed a cheap place, right away. I've been thinking about "living simply" and "living cheaply". I've come to this conclusion, "Cheap isn't always simple!" I'm finding it difficult to function well at my current apt.. It's small, I can't fit the things I need in it. I use my roommate's kitchen appliances and utensils. But only sometimes b/c alot the stuff is old, grease stained, or rusted. But if I bought more stuff it would become crowded. I also want a place where I can invite people over and socialize. And it would be nice if it were conveniently located between work and family/friends.
I want to move on in my search for a career. I know I want to be a Civil Engineer, which I'm not yet. But people keep saying I am one. I need to go back to school for that to happen. RPI is the only university locally that teaches Civil Engineering. It would cost $160,000 to go for 4 years though. I've been trying to meet with someone from the school about transfering, but he always seems to be away from the office at the scheduled time for our meeting. I have over a year to prepare to go there. I want to make some progress before I talk myself out of it or wait until the last minute.
I talked to a nutritionist on Monday. I plan on living a healthier lifestyle. My Grandfather died from Gloucoma, which was caused by his diabetes. My Mother has diabetes, but it is controllable through proper diet and excercise. Since diabetes runs in the family and I genuinely want to live better, I find it important for me to work on living healthier. So, I'm starting now!
There's alot more to talk about, but this is good for now. I want to have something to blog about later.
