so i'm back in the job hunt.
i need a part time job to keep me busy/motivated. i'm taking 6 hours in school this semester and it will keep me busy, but i need to keep myself motivated in the job department because next semester i'll be taking the same amount of hours AND teaching full time. i need to start training myself for that.
in other news, i have no other news.
oh yeah, and on a side note, it's amazing how resilient human beings are. we can go through so much and still be happy people. i LOVE that.

oh the joys of being a libra.
so i'm at barnes and noble and i'm reading a book called sex signs. it's an astrology book about how different signs deal with relationships. each chapter begins by listing characteristics of that certain sign. here's how mine looked:
seductive, sensual, attractive, self-indulgent, artistic, sophisticated, ...melancholic, ...indecisive, ...multiple relationships, ...narcissistic...
does anyone see the slow progression of from great to worse? and let me just say that everything this book said about me was absolutely spot on.
number one on the list of characterizations is that i have an intense personality that is especially preoccupied with all aspects of human relationships. does anyone see a trend in my recent posts? multiple relationships,...preoccupation with relationships...
it also says things about me being more comfortable with rationality than emotions. but later it says that once i'm happily settled nobody can make a man happier than i can. duh, knew that one.
and it says that once a libra has made up her mind about monogamy (to be or not to be, that is the question) she will stick with this decision for life. in case you were wondering, my answer is to be. but i guess that also depends on how you define monogamy.
i like webster's third definition: the practice of having a single mate at one time.
i agree with that webster.
anyway, that's my post for today. i don't know when i became so fascinated by astrology but i did. it makes me happy to learn things about myself that i was once oblivious to.

two thousand ten
I planned on doing this post on New Year's Eve, but I somehow got sidetracked and didn't quite get the chance. So, I guess there's no time like the present.
I took a moment to reflect on the past year of my life. I thought about how it's ironic that I've always done what is expected of me, and yet my life seems to continuously fall apart. But as I was driving in the car (like ten minutes ago), I came to an interesting conclusion. Maybe nothing works out because I was doing what I thought others expected me to do, and not what was right for me. That's a pretty easy conclusion to come to, but I took the round-about way of reaching it so it took like a year. How me.
This is what the past year of my life looked like:
Jan 4th-Went back to Amsterdam after spending the holidays with my family. It was around this time that I decided to move back to the states.
Feb 18th-Moved back to the States.
March 13th-Started working at the worst job ever. Pretty much had no life for the next 7 months.
Oct 5th-Turned the big 2-4.
Mid Octoberish-Put in my notice to quit said job.
Mid Decemberish- Enrolled in grad school to get me to a place I want to be in life.
When I put it that way it seems quite uneventful. Living it, it seemed tumultuous.
Anyway, here are the things I want to accomplish in the coming year:
1. Re-become financially independent. Get a job I love and can be proud of. I took a lot of pride in being able to take care of myself. Now I just need to get back on track.
2. Find love. Being single has been fun, but it's getting old. I want to find a male best friend that I also happen to love. And who is a good kisser. And can give me hugs when I need them. And who I can do that for.
3. Get good grades in Grad school so I can later become Dr. Thompson. Scratch that. Dr. Lastnameoftheguyimarry.
Not too much to accomplish.
Wish me luck. I hope that you all accomplish everything you want to accomplish and find happiness.
