2011 has been quite the year. It is my second year in San Diego, living on my own and pretending to be a grown up. I have found a few things out about myself in this faux adulthood I've created:
1) I am the worst grown up ever. (How was I supposed to know that 'leasing' and 'buying' a car was different? All my cars I bought in cash, usually from distant cousins)
2) I have the attention span of a goldfish. This is especially apparent in my constantly shifting ideas of what specific diet and exercise regime I adhere to.
3) I place entirely too many of my eggs in the 'it will be okay in the end' basket. That basket is getting pretty full, and I have a sneaking suspicion some of my eggs are about to crack on the 'life teaches you lessons the hard way' sidewalk.
That being said, I've managed pretty well on my own. Yes there have been bumps in the road, but I am thankful to say that because of my incredibly generous parents and wonderful friends I have been able to negotiate them with minimal scarring.
January - Unemployment taught me that I would be a good housewife, but after 3 weeks of cooking and cleaning I would probably end up on that show "Snapped"
February - Re-employment! The Navy, however, taught me that it can and will steal 70% of my friends and hide them far far away while I try and figure life out on my own.
March - Delightfully uneventful, giving me the opportunity to lose 15lbs
April - I discover the joys and expenses of living in a one bedroom apartment. I also move closer to the beach which gives me endless joy.
May - Serious introspection ensues after living alone without cable or internet. Also my car breaks down. And I meet a boy.
June - Hey this guy seems fun, and I get my car back, woo!
July - IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Destiny comes to visit! Why is this guy still sticking around, should I think about this? To be determined
August - Aw man, he's a douchebag like the rest of them. But I get to go home and mope about it with Destiny and maybe some taco pizza. Also I get my job that I loved so much last year back, and I can start saving money again! Yay good things weigh out douchebags, the world makes sense again :)
September-December....stay tuned
Peace out girlscout
