I'm a Proud New Mama....of a HP Pavilion :)

Yes...I got me a new baby. An HP Notebook with 640g of Hard Drive and 4g of RAM...

My old trusted lap top who I named "Samwise" had long since gotten too old to use. I tried everything to keep him mobile, even cutting out all the unnecessary software and files so I could at least write and go on the interweb, but alas, the world moved too fast for old Samwise to keep up.

He had been my trusty companion for many a year, but eventually I couldn't handle the half-hour start up and stopped using him.
Now as a gift for all my hard work, I got a new computer. They surprised me with it last weekend, and I cried like a little bitch.

I can't bring myself to call it a replacement with Samwise being technically still alive and all, but she (for yes my new notebook has more female characteristics) will definitely be my new companion from now on.

Big Changes....Moving Forward...

Sometimes when life finally starts moving after a long lull, it moves like the currents of a river...

At first it's almost painfully slow, then it picks up speed until your in the rapids with everything moving so fast you don't know if you can keep up, and your scared that if your reactions aren't quick enough, your gonna hit a rock...

Well...I've entered the rapids..:-)

It's one of the reasons why I haven't blogged in awhile. I've been so busy with everything that I can barely think straight.
I opened one door but that door has opened a few others and now I'm rushing through door after door.

So here's how it went...
First there was the schooling, then I entered the Advanced Program, and one of the parts of the advanced program lead to a paid internship that I now do twice a week on top of classes.
The Advanced Program has also lead to certification and will lead to more classes with more certifications.
Then on top of that, being a part of the Advanced Program makes me a sought after candidate for other programs which I'm interested in. And finally because of all of this I'm on the road to take my test, get  financial aid for collage, and get a degree....

WTF!!...LOL!
I feel wind blown...and happy....but I feel like everything is moving so fast, maybe too fast.
I'm afraid I'm doing too much and I'll end up tripping and falling on my face. Kinda like that feeling you get when you walk on those moving walkways at the airport.

I'm still trying to exercise, just fitting it in is more difficult. And at the beginning of all this I did some bad stress eating, but I've nipped that in the bud and am back to a healthy lifestyle.
I haven't lost weight but I haven't gained either, which is a relief.

Then with all this going on, someone from my past has come back into my life...but I don't know for how long. All I know is that when they're around, positive changes happen in my life so it kinda fits...lol

So things are moving...and there seems to be big changes in my future...who knows what the next day will bring...:)
