My sister had to yell at me to play my turn on Words with Friends. Not sure what my deal with that was...I think it was because I was consumed with playing the best words possible & winning. Needless to say, it took tons of time & therefore became not very much fun. Now I'm just playing whatever word comes to mind (most of the time) and I'm enjoying it again. Yay!
My husband bought me a to-do list app for my phone the other day. It's call Epic Win & I think it was designed with me in mind. They describe it as a role-playing game where you level up, collect loot, etc. as you complete the tasks on your to-do list. Totally cheesy & totally me.
The house is pristine right now. Bed made, dishes done, office clean, chili cooking, rolls rising...is it because of my new app? I'm placing my bet on the thesis I don't want to face. Moving on.
We watched Julie & Julia on our Netflix Instant Queue today. I have to admit, I'd love to do that (just the working through a cookbook bit--not the blogging about it bit) but it'd have to be from a cupcake cookbook or something like that. :o)
Two people asked me over break if I'd consider becoming a veterinarian. I used to think I wanted to go that direction but after working at a vet clinic and hearing over and over how difficult it is to get into vet school, I decided against it. Recently I've struggled with "my path". As I've grown older I've come to realize, I'm smart, I can do it. I haven't had much confidence in my capabilities up until now. I'm contemplating looking into the programs at NCSU after I graduate. I glanced at their website a couple of days ago & was surprised at how many options they provide. My thoughts on this are: What's the harm in trying? I don't want to go through life thinking, "What if...?" I'd also love the prestige...I'm sorry, but I don't want to be doing the grunt work of an administrative assistant my whole life. I've spend the majority of my life in school, why not take a break? If I've truly found where I need to/should be, it'll be fine.
What am I passionate about? What makes me happy? My dogs. Animals. Doing wonderful things for all creatures, great and small.
Hey. I had a comment on here, but it was deleted...so, here I go again!
ReplyDeleteI have always thought of you as a vet! I say, go for it. :)
Also, I love the idea of the app. that you mentioned...it sounds right up my dorky alley. I just need a smart phone first, huh? I've been putting that change off for a while now.
Oh well, happy new year!
