I did it! I did it!!! Well, I did a couple of things- I made it through my insane work week (helloooooo 7 hours of overtime!), I got what some people may describe as a normal nights worth of sleep, and I took the plunge and applied to go back to school.
This is all a part of this 'new me' that I have begun to establish, where I have taken a look at the life I have, recognizing how great it is, and knowing that it can only get better from here. So I am still sitting in my lounge clothes at 11am on my day off instead of in the barn already, but I took the time I needed to in order to fill out my applications, request transcripts, and even contact some advisors directly to try and get a plan in order.
I'm not going to lie, going back to school has been almost terrifying. Do I want to take out student loans? Do I want to try and keep working full time and only go to school part time? What am I going to do about riding and my horses. Well, I made some decisions, and am happy with how things will be if it all works out accordingly.
I am still planning on working hard and staying busy- but I also am going to try and set this up so that I have some free time to have a bit of a life as well. I am only 23 still, and I don't want to be one of those people where life passes me by because I'm spending all of my time working to get by.
On a happier note- one of my friends is getting married this weekend, and I should be the first person off of work Saturday night, so I MAY actually make it to part of her wedding reception. Now to figure out if I still fit into any of my clothes that would be acceptable? I couldn't tell you the last time I put on something other than work or barn clothes......
Happy Thursday all! (and the only day to my weekend!)
