As the world turns!

I am a girl with a plan- believe it or not. Typically I have an exit plan for every commitment I make and I always keep one eye on the fire escape; I have a bag of excuses that I can use anytime I feel the need and I’m great at wiggling my way out of anything. I rarely make plans, especially anything more than a few days ahead. But this time I have actually made a plan of action for myself. Well…in a school related sense. This time next year I will have an AA degree and a certificate in photography. A semester after that I should have a certificate in weddings/portrait and studio photography- and maybe commercial photography. I originally planned on transferring (which still might happen post my AA) and the units required for transferring are almost the same as those needed for the AA; all I would need is one or two extra classes. And at the same time I did want to get a certificate which is very similar to the courses needed to have an AA in photography. So I figured I might as well secure some sort of academic accomplishment and if I want to keep going for a BA after that then I can. But at least I’ll have something if I decide not to. I’m excited about the next couple of semesters- I’m taking mostly photography classes since I’m pretty much done with my lower division general ed stuff. I’m even getting into digital! Hopefully this summer will bring a new job and money to buy a camera with. I suppose I could throw it on a credit card, but I’d rather not go down that road again…lesson learned. So, I’m saving up for a nice Nikon or maybe I’ll stick with Canon…not sure yet. But saving up is going to be hard since I’m looking to move out by the end of summer. Or should I say move in? Hmmm.
Life seems to be heading in a good direction. I’m really excited about what this next year will bring. I’m especially excited for this summer, I think some big changes are coming my way. I’m trying to find a different job- preferably one with full time, day hours and benefits. My classes are all night classes so I can hopefully snag a admin assistant job during the day. I’m working on revamping my resume and maybe I’ll get a few bites. Who knows. But I do finally feel like I’m in a good place. I don’t remember the last time I was this happy with my life (especially while being this broke!). Speaking of broke, my truck will be paid off in full in 9 months! Whoohoo!!! Ok, guess that’s it for now. Peace out blogosphere.
