Still here

It's been a long time since I've written anything. I haven't really written anything on my other blog either. I guess I've just gotten away from it. So I guess it's time for a little update.

In April I finally got my skydiving license! It was the best feeling in the world to accomplish that goal. I have continued to jump when I can and recently bought my very own rig. That opens up a whole world of jumping opportunities. I took a canopy course last weekend, which was pretty awesome. Next week it's water training! I'm doing what I can to learn more and more about the sport. I'd love to be one of those women you read about in Parachutist or Blue Skies magazine. I'll keep learning and try to get better and better.

I have also started going back to school. I never went to college. Well I tried for a few months when I was 18 but it wasn't for me. So 18 years later, I started again. My first class was during summer semester and I was 0.3 points away from an A. It's a B on my transcript, but it was still an accomplishment for me. My first college credit. This semester I'm taking two classes, Math and Psychology. I'm not really sure what degree I'm going to pursue, I'm just trying to find a way to better my life.

I guess that's what I have to do. Find things that make me happy and go for it. There is no plan for life that's laid out for anyone. We each make our life plan. One small decision can change everything. You just have to find a way to be happy on a daily basis while keeping your eye on the big picture.

Some other decisions I've made is to cut some people out of my life. I know it sounds drastic. Do you ever have those "friends" that only call when they want something? I did, and last week I called them out on it. They are no longer my friend, and somehow I became the bad guy. I don't really care, call me the bad guy. Go ahead and talk shit about me to whoever will listen. It doesn't matter, my life is better without someone that makes me mad. I know this person talks shit about anyone when they are mad at them. So I'm sure I'm on the hitlist this week. Who needs friends like that? Not me. I actually feel much better having it in the open. When you find yourself surrounded by liars, stand up and walk away.

My job is going well, I like it there. Everyone is pretty nice, and I like being there. That makes day to day life pretty good. It's nice not being on call anymore. Life is much better with a regular work schedule. Sweet relief.

There's a little update. Just thought I'd let you know I'm still here. Plugging along. All in all life is pretty good.
