so it may have taken a while, about a year to be exact, but i think i've decided what i'm gonna be doing for the next year of my life. give or take a few months... anyway, so the plan is to take some classes at ARC. i've already got them lined up and they start in Oct. 18th. i know some people might think "big deal", but it sort of is for me. it's taken me a while to get back on track but hey... baby steps, i say. when this semester ends, and my lease is up in January, i'll be moving back to the bay and transferring to CSU, East Bay. it's close to home and thus convenient. not the best reason i know, but it's the most feasible at this point. both financially, and with concern to time. i just want to finish my degree! i've worked for far too long, and spent far TOO MUCH to give up on it. Not that that was ever even an option.
Anyway, i'm really happy because i don't feel like i'm just kind of along for the ride anymore. i feel like i've taken the reigns and i'm guiding my future a little bit more. until now, it wasn't even really a path i was on but more of a gust of wind blowing every which way, and yet no where at all. not a fruitful use of my time... at least not in terms of building my future. i don't regret* anything that has happened in the last year--i've attained great new friendships, memories, and done some great things, but nothing i really consider accomplished. but i guess it all depends on your definition.
*not a word that fits well into my vocabulary-- i don't believe in it because it conflicts with my theory that everything happens for a reason
