I have big, BIG, big plans for my future! I’m already planning everything out and finding information for what I need to make it all come true…one of them being MOVING out!

Yep, I have FINALLY decided to leave the nest and start living on my own…I had to sometime. The place I want to move to is NEW YORK! I love the city (as I have mentioned a million times) and it has always been a dream of mine to live there. I don’t care what anyone says, you have your good times and you have your bad, I’m moving to NY no matter what!

Not only that, but I want to start school there also! My second dream is to go to NYU (New York University), although from my high school transcripts (not sure if they would look at my technical school ones?) I’ll probably have to do some community college first to get my GPA (Grade Point Average) up. So I have to look into that.

So far, my boyfriend and I (who I will be moving with…yay!) are planning for a trip up there for the end of February or beginning March! I’ll hopefully be staying with family members and in that time, scoping out jobs and apartments in/or around the city. I REALLY don’t want live in the projects…I know how that goes…and if I have anything to do with it, I WILL NOT be moving into them.

I’ve been looking for jobs on Craig’s List and am surprised at how many jobs you can find there, that I’ve never seen a listing for here in Orlando. Not only that, but some of them are simple to do jobs that actually pay better then working a McDonald’s (which I will never work at…).

All this planning is getting me so excited and I cannot wait to start it all out. I know I might have some tough times, but knowing I did it on my own, rather my mother or family member helping me out, really just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Haha, I know lame!

It seems that the 9AM to 5PM job routine is finally starting to catch up with me. At first, I was excited to have a web related job again, but after two and a half months of working here, well it’s starting to take a little toll on me.

Not only that, but traffic from my job to my house is killer! Orlando traffic in general is killer, but when I worked in downtown Orlando, it wasn’t THAT bad like it is from my job here in Casselberry to my house by UCF (University of Central Florida), which seems to be quite the distance and there is no way to take shortcut.

So you can imagen how I feel by the time I get home ( which is a good hour later *sigh*). I need to start working out again, becuase I’m going to sleep pretty early and I wake up refreshed, but by the end of the day, I’m wiped out!

Yes, working out might just do the trick!

Hello folks, sorry for the delay in a blog post. As usual life has me VERY busy. So much stress has been put on me these past two months, that I feel I will have more then my fair share of gray hairs before I turn 30! Yes, that is very sad, but its how I feel right now.

Anywho, to start this blog off. I got a new job! Yup, no more SurpassHosting, although I still do love them to death and will ALWAYS use their web hosting services. I now work for an internet marketing and web design company named OnTarget Web Solutions. I’m really learning a lot more about the web design industry and dipping more into marketing and SEO. It’s a great job and I even get my own office, which isn’t half bad! Hopefully with this new job, I’ll be able to save up for college and my big move to NYC in the future. Can’t wait!

Talking about moving, I’m REALLY thinking about moving out on my own. Unfortunately, my mother and I are arguing more and more everyday more so then speaking normally and it is taking a toll on me as well as her. I think that it might be time for me to move out and leave the nest. I just want to make sure that she is in a stable living place and can manage on her own. I’m actually trying to push her to either live in Tallahasse where one of her best friends lives or back in my hometown of MA. I KNOW for a fact she HATES MA so I’m hoping Tally will be the alternative and ultimate choice. At least she wouldn’t be too far away from me, only 4 hours! Just something we really need to sit down and talk about over a nice dinner…hmm…idea!
