Updates to the list

6. Own a home

It looks like this goal might not be so far away as I once thought. I completely paid off my credit card, so that's one obstacle out of the way. If I'm able to get a new job around May/April of next year... even another minimum wage one, we should have no problem getting things rolling.

11. Grow some useful plants from seeds

Kind of missed the boat on this one. I had planned on doing it during the summer time, but I was just too busy and I plum forgot about it. Oh well. Maybe next summer.

12. Be more assertive for the things I want

I think I'm getting better that this, although I still need more practice.

13. Connect more with friends

Been doing well on this one. Since I left my job, I now have weekends off to spend with friends. Also, hanging out more with Kagar so I have a zombie killing buddy.

16. Keep a diary

Diaries are stupid. Instead, I've made myself a schedule. I know it's not the same thing, but it's just one more thing I'm doing to try to get some more control over my life. I'm so forgetful and I lose track of time, especially with school work. So now, my schedule keeps me on track... sort of...

19. Donate to charity

Contrary to my list, I actually stopped giving to the several charities I was a part of. Mainly because I'm jobless now, but also because I doubt my contribution makes a difference.
On a side note, though... In a week or so I'll be doing some volunteering for one of my classes... kind of makes up for it, I suppose.

20. Art stuffs

Haven't really been doing a lot of this lately.

21. Exercise

Hah!

23. Get new summer clothes

It's fall now, stupid! But I have bought a few new things. Got a new sweater. It's snuggly. I like fall clothes better than summer clothes anyways.

24. Get a better night's sleep

I think this is going well. To be honest, I don't remember why I wrote that one in my list. I don't think my sleep has been terrible. Certainly not enough to put it on a list...

25. Finish school, finally...

7 months to go...

Bologna Flavored Cuppy-Cakes

It's been a long time since I last wrote here... Like, 3 months + 1 day... >.>
I've been very busy with school and stuff...

But good news?! Yes!
I'm very, very, very happy now. No more depressed Jeska. No more blogging about how terrible things are. I feel like a different person and I think it's caused by a number of things.

First off, a few months back after a talk with my friend (see June 30th post), I feel like I have a new perspective on life and how I live in it. I felt like everything was out of reach, but now I feel more in charge of my own destiny. Nothing is out of my reach if I bother to get up and work for it. So, yeah... I'm feeling better about that.

Second, I quit my job and this move has made me SOOOOO happy. You have no idea... An enormous weight was taken off my shoulders once I left and I feel so good. I don't come home angry and tired, and now I actually have time on weekends to study or do things whereas before, I obviously didn't. I don't have to get up at 6am on a weekend and I don't have to be the lightning rod in the department, whom everyone goes to to complain. I was tired of wearing that hat. No thank you. You can handle these things from now on. Good day.

Third, I got married last weekend (Sept 24). Yup. And things are going very well. He doesn't bother me nearly as much as he used to. He still bugs me a little, but I think that's just natural for guys, I guess.

Everything seems to be coming up Jeska! I'm feeling fatter than usual, but I really don't care! I like who I am. Got a new laptop, too. It kind of sucks, but at least since it's new, I don't have to worry that it will turn off one day and wont turn back on (like my last one). Hubby and I are also getting things together so we can start planning for our future, namely getting a house and maybe a car. We're hoping to get a house by this time next year if everything goes well.

I need more followers... but I don't know how to get them xD
