I&#8217;ve lost my job and my boyfriend all within a week of each other. I already had another issue that I was dealing with in October where I lost something else. I&#8217;m trying to keep my spirits up about the situation and it&#8217;s not as bad as it could be. I have been able to pay my utilities in advance so I have credits on my power, gas and cell phone bills (yes, cell phone is a utitility!!!). With my next check, I plan to pay my rent in advance for December and January. By my estimations, I should (hopefully) be okay with living expenses from my last check and unemployment until I figure out what I want to do with my life. I have so much chaos and turmoil right now that I don&#8217;t really know what I want, except to find a way to study in Geneva for two months. With all of my free time to think, I&#8217;m now able to go back to some of my dreams that I ignored because I was too distracted.<\/p>\n<p>I am fortunate in that I have a class that I enjoy and look forward to attending. The other class is a BORE but it does offer some interesting insight when I&#8217;m fully alert to absorb it. I feel that my life right now is about exploring possibilities and school is the perfect place for me to explore those possibilities and also expand my horizons further (they&#8217;re pretty expansive as it is). I have no idea what the outcome of all these changes will be but I am trying to keep a positive, optimistic outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Petitefreespirit isn&#8217;t as free-spirited as she generally is but hopefully she&#8217;ll make a comeback soon. I miss having a twinkle in my eye that&#8217;s not a tear and having a smile on my face that starts in my heart. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;\">Currently listening:<br \/>Corinne Bailey Rae<br \/>By Corinne Bailey Rae<br \/>Release date: 20 June, 2006<\/p>\n<p><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 14px;\" face=\"arial\"><font style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"\" align=\"justify\">\n<p><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current mood:&nbsp; contemplative I&#8217;m trying to be strong.
