I have been seriously thinking about my first blog post for several weeks now, which is ridiculous, but it truly reflects and reiterates everything about my personality.........NeUrOtIc! Yes, that was a *bit* random, but I tediously avoided using the term 'OCD' because it is a term that is extremely overrated because most people think that it means acute perfectionism or something......which I can assure, it does not.
Hmmmmm........
It might be a little tricky trying to find time to blog on a regular basis but just like my 'lite', speedy exercise routine, and my cooking routine, and my Zac(k? or h?) routine, and my school routine, and my husband's school routine, and my work routine......and any other routine I left out, I want to make the time for this because I see other mommies I model myself after doing it (and much more) with such finesse and humor...and I wanna do it all! I forgot how much I enjoy just writing; letting it roll off my shoulders and onto the screen of my glowing monitor. Because keeping it all inside just sucks balls.
So I have had plenty of time to think about my first post and as far as I can break down the hodgepodge of brilliance bouncing back and forth in this brain of mine, I came up with a little something to whet your appetite.......
1. Introduction:
- I am 26 years old. I have been married to the man of my dreams for 5 years. We have been together 10 years and I still think he is hunky-dorey. We have a 15 month old genius son named Zack (or Zach, maybe Zac). I am a 3/4 of the time student and yes I said 3/4 of the time student with a 4.0.
- I have LOVED school since I joined band class in middle school and made Mr. Lane's life hell. But I gave my high school band director one hellofa leadership team for 4 years and band captain for 2 years where Coosa landed their first "Best of" everything trophies at every competition--their first band victory in 60 years.
- As you can see, I am an excitable person and where it may seen I am a pompous ass, I can assure you that I am sweet as pie and I take great pleasure in my achievements and the vehement efforts I make to attain my goals because I come from a land starving for happiness and plagued with what my mom and aunt's call 'shell-shock' syndrome.
- After changing my major from theatre --to law--to psychology--to accounting--I finally decided on none other than *!TeAcHiNg!* I absolutely cannot wait to become a teacher!
- I get goosebumps when I walk through an elementary school. Those nostalgic smells of the 'liberry' makes me all giddy inside. It takes me way back to the days of 'Battle of the Books'. So much innocence must be protected and those little kiddos need guidance that they might not be receiving at home. Soooo many reasons I wanna be a teacher!
- Yes, I realize that I have changed my major 4 times, but hey, the way I see it, each one of those majors are very different from each other allowing me to experience the whole spectrum; arts, science, mathematics, and education. I tell myself everyday that I am a very versatile, adaptable, and multi-talented individual (because it is true). I learn very quickly and I certainly know what I want and what I do not want ((most of the time)....(and as long as I am not choosing between ice cream flavors)).
2. Long Term Goals:
- Since my entire personal profile is planted on here somewhere, I will share a small piece of my heart. For the last 3 years I have been compiling a list of places to go, see, do; a list of things I want to learn or improve on; things I want to own; things I would like to do for others on a large scale; and financial and security goals. At this point, this list is about 5 pages long. Because I am sure that I will add to it in the future, and because I do not expect to achieve everything within a 10-20 year span, I have deemed this list of goals my Life List......I just decided that I will wait to post it because my lunch break is over.
