I'm Turning 24 Next Month!

Lately, I've been stuck in a rut.  I really have to start getting my life back on track.  So, I thought about some things that I'm going to do to ring in yet another year of my life.  There are a few things that I personally want to do in order to organize and prioritize my life better.  I'm going to be 24 next month.  I have to get my shit together.

You all know that I'm working on eating and exercising better.  That's definitely one of my priorities.  After reading one of Taylor's posts over at 'The Daily Tay', I came across one of her posts where she mentions this brand of life planners by Erin Condren.  I've been wanting a planner like this in my life forever.  When I saw the price, my eye balls almost shot out of my head, but would I pay it?  Probably.  But, since the year already started, I probably won't buy one until next year considering how expensive they are.  I'll make my flimsy dollar planner work for now.  So a new planner will be in the works for the upcoming year.

I want to learn how to network better.  I've been in denial lately about networking.  I try to keep telling myself that networking isn't important, yatta, yatta.  Truth is, it's very important.  I'm trying to get a job in a medical office of a well-known medical network where I live.  I keep getting those letters...you know, the ones that start, "After much consideration, we have decided on another candidate to fill the position..."  In school, in my career planning and exploration class, I had to fill out a network chart of people that I could reach out to in a professional sense.  When I realized that I don't have too many people in my network, I knew I had to change that.  I mean, it really is all on who you know.  So, once I get back to work, I'm going to volunteer my time at that well-known medical center and build my network.

Jason and I have already started talking about life...for real.  Like, the 'B' word came up.  I think Jason really wants to have a baby and while I'm kind of nervous about it, I want to have one too.  Jason knows that I have to finish school first and we want to do a few things before we have our first baby.  However, if it happens, it happens.  That's the way God wanted it to be.  Not planning though.  I also need to learn how to stop basing my life off of the life of others and do what works for me and Jason.

The doctor is fixing to release me back to work on the 30th and I definitely can't wait!  I can't wait to start getting my life back on track.
