The Write Life

I don't want to write about your typical year in review, rather I want to write about personal growth over the last year. As many of you know early last year the fabric of my life unraveled. I imagine myself as the phoenix, destroyed by fire symbolically and rising from the ashes. I believe that the utter devastation gave way to new life - personal growth. I hope that doesn't sound arrogant, because that is not my intent.

I won't really waste my breath talking about personal things that you wouldn't be interested in, my point is to make you think. Did you grow this year as a person? In what ways? I really believe that personal growth is very important for everyone, because if we quit growing as individuals it leads to stagnation. What fun is that? On that note, I'll leave you to ponder your own growth....

Please feel free to share your thoughts! Look for the conclusion sometime tomorrow. :)

Okay first and foremost, I've done it. I am currently at work on a Christmas fanfic. Yes I know, but I had to start somewhere and it wanted to be written, more than anything else.

Hey it's the first thing I've written creatively in nine long months, well since the fabric of my life unraveled. Let me tell you it has been disheartening to look back over the last nine months and see nothing written. I know all of this tragedy has reshaped me as a person, but I cringe at all the lost time, and the loss of my creativity. That is the curse that comes along with the blessing of growing as a person and gaining self-awareness.

On another note, I made the Dean's List in my first quarter in college. Talk about firsts...an A in math, and now the Dean's List! I continually surprise myself with what I am capable of.

On another note, I want to talk about the richness of the season, and I don't mean the money people spend on presents. I mean the small riches, such as angels disguised as mere mortals! People that touch me in ways, I never imagined were possible. So my wish this Christmas is for everybody to slow down and see the richness around them. I have met some very special people on here, people that continually inspire me, and push me to live an even better life.

Merry Christmas to one and all!

I survived my first quarter of college, and kept my grades up! Trust me, there were days I wasn't so sure, but I did it! I passed the math final with an "A". See that, an A! Me...math...an A...who would have thought it possible? My GPA will be between a 3.0 and a 4.0 depending on my English Professor. The good news is the last essay I slaved over, paid off. I received 90 out of the 100 points possible. Today during the final, I also won twenty bonus points, for some awesome Balderdash skills. I had never played the game before, but I am going to buy it. Basically, each team makes up definitions of words, plots of movies, what people are famous for, and make up events that happened on certain dates. The point is to bluff the other teams into thinking your answer is the real one. :D

Sorry life has just been slamming me heavily. I have a question for you guys out here in blog land. As many of you know I am going through a nasty divorce now. The problem is the ex won't leave me alone. Wait let me clarify something here. He WALKED AWAY!, read that again for dramatic affect, he walked away. The problem is he won't leave me alone. Anything he can do to hassle me, he does. I do not understand this. He walked away, but now has to make my life miserable? Does anyone understand this? I don't! Why can't he just leave me the hell alone? :S

On a different note, this is finals week and I am busting my backside to pass said finals. The English one isn't so bad, just a self-analysis type essay. The math final on the other hand is more of a pain in the butt. I know the stuff, so I should be okay. Tomorrow is the big day so wish me luck. :)
