Movin' On

"Days of Eliza's Lives" has been in full force. Just when things look like they are going to be a certain way, the ultimate joker changes everything. One thing that has changed is that I am now in the process of getting into graduate school. I have applied to four places, BYU (because of family), Argosy University in SLC, John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill CA, and Lesley University in Cambridge MASS. The only school I have heard back from is BYU and they rejected me. No worries though I am still moving forward.

I have applied for some new jobs that pay me more than 8.50 like at the daycare. Two teaching positions in 3rd and 5th grade, and several executive assistant jobs. Things are tough but I am looking at any move and one in a good position.

Finally I have the biggest announcement of all. I AM READY TO DATE!!! I have always been leze fare about dating but recent events have encouraged me to go full force. I am not saying no to any option.

Things still resemble the pits of HECK (its a book. Sooooo funny) but I am having a blast with the new material for my jokes.

Keep me posted!
I almost called you up and begged to see you this weekend. I've missed you so much. Alas, the weather turned sour, and I didn't want to kill myself or someone else due to my lack of snow driving skills (still...there hasn't been much snow...FORTUNATELY!). I want to see you soon. I want to hear in person about all these adventures/dreams/goals in your life, especially about what lead to you finally embracing dating.
I will call you soon and beg to see you. Be prepared.

Personal Day

So, all day, from the moment that first ray of annoying sunlight started invading the inner sanctum that is my bedroom, I wanted a day...one day for myself. I had this dream of being able to wake up, make myself a wonderful breakfast (all the while having music play in my head worthy of a 90's sitcom), lazily get dressed and begin to put my life back together. No family, no obligations, no guilt, just peace. The morning was wonderful. My brother, who never seems to get going till about noon, was not making noise in his shop that is located on the other side of my bedroom window. My parents were at work. And I was living my dream. All things were wonderful until the afternoon when, like a ball that rolls down a hill and lands in a pond of goo, the whole thing turned into a disaster. For some reason, I was just unable to recover. I couldn't pull it back to a place where the dream could continue living. Instead I turned into the worst version of myself, swearing at my family in my...

Insanity

So this was a big week. For the first time in a long time I have felt the overwhelming need to cry. As always I am unaware of the way that people can see what is going on with me even when I think that I doing a good job of hiding it from everyone. I am an RA (Resident Advisor) at Dixie. This week I was given the task to work with another RA to make flyer's for a sports activity that was coming up. Usually I am the one who makes sure that everything that needs to go on the fl yer is on and is correct. The other RA usually does all the "Flash". Well this week I had over 28 hours of work to do. Because of all of the homework that I had to do I did not check the fl yer that had been done and let the other RA do what ever he wanted and trusted that the information would be correct. A few days later it was the day before all of my assignments were due and I was freaking out. I also had to go to my RA meeting. At these meeting my RM (Resident Manager) has personal meetings with...

Peace and Failure

She had failed. There was no other way to say it. Despite all of her accomplishments, all of the honours that people attributed to her, she had failed at the things that mattered most, and no amount of humour, self-deprecating or not, could change that fact. For years she'd hid behind her staged smile and her enticing humour. She had worked hard at the tasks that had clear beginnings and endings and could be accomplished by mortals. She dreamed of being more, of doing more, of meaning more. Yet, when opportunities presented themselves, she failed to live up to the possibilities. People. That was the part of life that she had failed. She had failed to truly care about or for people. Caring led to pain. Caring meant investing in another person, only to have that person reject all that had been invested into them. It was easier not to care, to create a safe distance so as not to get hurt. It was easy for Her to do. Like a switch that she could flick on and off, she could care or n...
