How many more times can I say.."damn, it's been forever!!" ??

I do have a valid excuse this time though. I swear!!

I've been one busy bunny rabbit...

I may have mentioned going to school, I KNOW I discussed my need to not live in California anymore. Well, I finally managed to make some of that stuff happen. It was all happened very quickly, which is part of the reason I haven't been writing like I've wanted to.

I went on a mini-vacation back in early June, going through California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and ending in Nebraska. It was not only a vacation that sent me on this trip, but checking out the possibility of starting school again finally. After speaking to the admittance people here, and financial aid, they informed me that if I could get back here to Omaha, they could have me starting school in the next quarter, which was a week and a half away. So after having a discussion with my father upon my return to California, he said he would help me financially by loaning me the money to get back out here and start school right away.

So here I am.

No longer (very happily) in California, my new area of residence is Omaha, Nebraska. I really like it here a lot. I could do without the constant humidity, but other than that, it's great!!! I'm back in a place where people are friendly, it's not completely overcrowded or unnecessarily expensive, and I'm back in school, which is the most important thing right now. School is fantastic, it's been a lot easier to fall back into it than I thought it would be, and I have the straight A's this quarter to prove it. Thanks to that, I get to take more classes next quarter, which will set me on track for early graduation, assuming I maintain my GPA (which I will). Why do I want to graduate early you may ask? That would be because I intend to join the Army right after graduation. Everyone was hoping I had given up on that, but man, are they in for a rude surprise. I live my life for no one but myself, and I look for no one's approval in the choices I make for myself. I have the support from the one I feel I need to have it from, and that's all that counts.

So for the most part, things are going pretty well, and very much looking up, especially considering where things were just a few months ago. They will continue, because I will accept nothing less, I'm just stubborn that way.

Now if I can just get my father to hurry the hell up and ship my computer out here for me, I can start writing daily again. For now it will still be a bit sporadic, as my only computer access is at school (I'm supposed to be finishing homework right now >.<), but I will be writing again, because I actually have motivation to do so, without too much whiny bullshit.

It is good to be back >:)
