An Introduction

I decided to create this blog because 30 is coming; I shudder as I write that number.


 It is a major deadline for me. I know it's just a number, at least that's what people over 30 say but to me, it isn't just a number. This is the mid line point for me. I have to do a major assessment of my life and how much I have (or in my case haven't) accomplished till then. Procrastination is a major seducer in my life.

Here is my must-accomplish-by-30 list:

1. Finish my MSN in Nursing Education. Not that I plan on doing anything with it immediately right after. At this point, I just want to finish something. If I delay this, I may very well not go on. I had tricked myself in thinking nursing school has changed since I went. But no, that's not the case, it still sucks.

2. Get another Masters degree. lol. I know right? In Conflict Management. That'd be interesting. Actually, I wouldn't mind being in school forever. Not taking a heavy course load but just certain courses that interested me. Learning sign language, perfecting my forgotten French, mechanics, those are some things that interest me.

3. Lose 30 lbs. God, I don't want to be one of those "woe is me" people. I have some extra weight that I can stand to lose. My body mass does not define my self esteem though. I have all my limbs, mind and I know who I am. I just gotta get on the treadmill and watch the sweets. I don't want an unhealthy life.

4. Take my husband to Paris. That's pretty self explanatory. That was the one place I really wish he had been with me. I need to show him that amazing city.

Time is going by too quickly. I'm 26 now. In my mind, I'm still 19. I don't want to miss this time of my life and I need to write down all the crazy thoughts I have so I can laugh about it later. I love my life right now. I am blessed beyond my dreams. I don't need to win the lottery to know how lucky I am.
