2010 recap

So much happened in 2010! Here's my top life changing moments of 2010:

1. Changed jobs 3 times! From Dept of Homeland Security to Medica to Dept of Human Services.

2. Moved to Minnetonka

3. I got lasik eye surgery

4. Comrades flag football ended

5. Played my first paintball tournament

6. Both my brothers got married!

7. Took 2 accounting courses - ick!

8. I could only think of 7 things...

The future scares me

I can't sleep. The future scares me- I'm trying to focus on the now only. We all get old- and during this process we all hope to accomplish a lot in life and succeed in living. I'm content with what I have now. Idk what it is, maybe it is the events that have occurred/are occurring that's making me think, maybe it's because I have some free time now, what ever it is, I can't sleep and am scared of the future. I've made many friends and lost many friends in the past 3 years- and I find myself wishing I could go back and understand where things went wrong. I've come to a conclusion that everyone who has ever inspired me, like an older sibling to me, and/or someone I looked up to - has all have failed me. All but three, my mom, my dad, and my love. I've learned to trust in them and rely on them to not be scared of the future. They have seen me grow and love me at my worst and I am thankful. Only those three can stand my stubbornness and demanding ways- they take me as I am and I love them. Enough emo time, lol, need to sleep zzzzzzzzzz.

Accounting

Accounting classes have started, lots of homework and reading. I need to do well in my two classes in order to prove to myself that I can excel in topics I once was scared of.

I've been swimming lately and it's been wonderful! I normally freeze in the water but surprisingly my body temperature has adjusted well. I am tired, need to find a job that I will have fun in. My June schedule is overwhelming and all I ask for is time to enjoy myself in the good Minnesotan weather before winter comes.

When I started this blog, I wanted to use it to help me learn more about myself to find out what I'd want to do in life. Since then, I have learned a lot about myself AND slacked off on blogging. lol. But now I'm back and back for a better reason! I want to track the daily inspirations, events, happenings and upcomings for myself.

Tomorrow will be my last day working for the Feds as a contractor as I move on to a new job with a health insurance company. I'm taking a drastic pay cut, but in the long run I hope it pays off. The perks is I won'd be driving 30 mins to work anymore - instead I get to WALK to work! Yah! Love and I can walk to work together, maybe not because I start work earlier than him. I feel good about my move and look forward to learning new materials in a corporate environment. Goodbye government work and hope we cross paths again.

I will be starting Accounting classes in June! I'm eager to learn and want to get my hands on the books. Two months of summer dedicated to a new job and three classes! On top of this, I will continue practicing flag football and paintball.

This summer is a busy one for me! My flag football team horribly lost 3 games in last weekends tournament- it was heart breaking but the team HAS to get better. This Saturday is my grandparent's party celebrating their life (Grandpa turned 70 yrs old yesterday). Sunday is my paintball tournament, team name = Sx. I'm excited to be playing with my boyfriend, we're playing to win the entire series! Next weekend is my Aunt's wedding, need to go gift shopping...sushi gift card maybe? I'm happy for her, we grew up together and she's getting married! The weekend after is NPPL Chicago paintball, Love and I will be driving down, hope I stay awake on the car ride :). Aww then it'll be June - I get to visit my friend Boua in Duluth and return back to practice with Comrades (my flag football team) to prepare for the J4 "The Big Dance" tournament.

As my writing skills will be put to rest for my new job, I hope to continue writing and practicing here.

P.S. Love has been working out with me and putting me through intense training to be a star QB!

Track and Field Day

I have a brilliant idea for a fundraiser- I can host a Track and Field Day event at a local elementary field or recreation field. The only drawback is the cost of police officers if we have 50-100 participants on site. :( Those officers are too expensive, ext. $200 per officers - I'd prob won't break even!

Budget break down:
Field rental $50 to $100
.
.
.
Volunteers $free

Participants would pay registration fee: $5 in advance, $10 on the day
