Another day down, and almost through another week. The great marathon has continued, though not moving as fast as it has been. Stupid work getting in the way of it all. I just finished working out, so I decided to take some time to relax and listen to some Tori Amos. Of all the concerts I've attended, and there are a good many, she is still the best I've ever seen. Funny that I've never really hung out with very many people who understand or appreciate her music, but I always find myself putting her music on with regularity.
I did start looking at doing some more schoolwork once I have reliable internet again, and began looking at schools. Figured I'd spend the next few weeks looking at the possibility of at least an Associate's from the College Of Charleston or Clemson. I keep jumping around and getting a class here and there, but figure it's time to sit down and finish this. I grew up in Charleston, so of course I have a love of that college; and I am a Clemson fan (family graduated from Clemson), so I'm really wanting a degree from one of those two. I looked a few years ago, but neither had much of a distance learning program. It's kind of hard to travel thousands of miles while working to get a degree, and the more I'm away from these places; the more they mean to me. Just the way I am seeing things right now.
Today is Saint Patrick's day, but for me it's more New Year's than New Year's. I make the same resolution every year, which is to not make a resolution. That way it is broken instantly, and I don't have to worry about trying to keep up some sort of painful attempt at becoming someone I'm not; perhaps someone I don't want to be in the first place. This past week I've really just sort of been looking at things I want to finish, so I have resolved to take them on seriously. I don't want to change who I am, just want to finish some projects that I have started. One of them will be done next month, then I will build a small computer, next is to start back at school, and mixed in with all that is to get back into a shape that isn't round. I am currently working on the last one, and so far have dropped close to 30 lbs. I intend to continue on that path and enjoy life while still keeping that weight off.
So that's Saint Patrick's day. Not a very insightful or exciting recap of the day, but at least I wore green.
