The clouds couldn't hold it in anymore!

It is snowing. Again. It looks very beautiful when it snows, I just wish I did not have to go anywhere in it.

In 17 days, I will be 23. I can't believe it! I imagined this time of my life to be different when I was younger. 1. I was hoping I'd have traveled out of the country by now 2. I thought I'd have my bachelor's degree and be a working-girl. The statement "life never ends up the way you planned" is true now more than ever for me. However, I'm so happy the turn that life has taken for me. Sure those two things I still wish were true at this very moment; but at the same time, I'm glad to be where I am! Now I know what I want to do with my life. It is getter there that's the hard part. I would not change it for anything. The complete quote to say is this : "Life never ends up the way you planned...it's better!"

I have started to imagine what life will be like after college. Maybe someday I'll go back to school and earn a Master's Degree!! Let me not get too ahead of myself, though. When I graduate, I imagine that it will not be easy to get a job the way the economy is unfortunately. I would LOVE to work with kids, maybe live in another country teaching...who knows?! It would be terrifying yet so worth it.

Carl Jung once said "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

This quote means more to me today then it would have meant to me yesterday. Recently, a co-worker of mine has been driving me crazy. The things they do seem to push all the right buttons to make me annoyed. However, yesterday I started thinking about reasons why he may bother me so, and now he bothers me less! It is not up to me to be critical of others. I just need to suck up my annoyances and life every moment. Maybe they have been having a bad day. I should not make it worse.

Wow, today I have been on a rambling rampage (and it is only 10 am, yikes)!
