On My Mind

Another semester down! Only one and one half years left and I cannot wait. Although I enjoy school, getting a job with better pay, and a job where I can show off my skills, is incredibly important to me. People say that I am expecting too much, but I say you truly can do whatever you set your mind too. My mind is set and there is no stopping me......

I realize that many people graduate college and end up doing nothing with their degree. I believe this is because the person is not trying hard enough. Getting a job, especially right now, is certainly rough, but it is possible. In order to get the job I want I am willing to work as hard as I can, and then some. I am aware that I might be putting a little bit of pressure on myself, but that is what it is all about! By it, I mean life, and without a little pressure to succeed, succeeding will not be in the stars....

An Essay

WOW, I haven't posted in quite some time. For my last class as a grad student, I'm taking a Creative Non-Fiction Class. Here is a draft of the first essay I've written...enjoy my awkwardness :) Clumsy ( awkward in movement or action; without skill or grace ) Lying on my bed, petting my littlest cat Kia, I smell the patchouli wax I’m burning. Ah, relaxation…I swing my leg around and my foot catches a full diet soda can and knocks it to the ground, all over the carpet and my dirty clothes basket. Not again, I thought, why am I so damn clumsy? Then I proceeded to clean it up, put the clothes in the washer, and go about my day. To say I am clumsy is an absolute understatement, as this kind of situation happens to me on a daily, if not more often, basis.

The Girl in the Chair

The accident happened about a year ago. The girl didn’t know that she wasn’t supposed to eat the peanut butter that was in the bowl on the counter. The family had been experiencing rodent problems and the mother heard that putting peanut butter on the mouse traps was a good way to catch those little bastards. Just to be sure, she decided that she would mix rat poison in with the peanut butter. Little did she know her eldest daughter would walk into the kitchen while she was out in the garage gathering the mousetraps.

The Heaviest Sword

“Belief is a beautiful armor, but makes for the heaviest sword” – John Mayer             What makes us believe in something? Why do we feel that we must believe in anything? Is there anyone out there who truly believes in nothing?  Or better yet, is there anyone in the world who truly believes in something?              Most children believe in Santa Claus.  I never did.  I pretended to for the sake of my parents, but by the time I was six years old, I told them I didn’t believe in him.  Many of my friends believed in Santa well beyond six years old and I didn’t let them know I knew the truth. I did often wonder how my friends never caught on though. Maybe they did and were just pretending, as to not ruin anyone else’s belief in the magic of good ole St. Nick.
