Settings change

Hello all -

I've changed the settings to my journal to only allow friends and family to view this blog.

Not that I post regularly any longer, nor do I post anything wildly or even mildly controversial but I'm a nut so whatever...

I've found myself on this site censoring my grievances in the irrational worry that some weirdo employee or prospective employer with find it and see the leftover crumbs of my soul after a long hard day of under-employment.

These leftover crumbs belong to me and lets face it - I want to put down my daily interactions with crazies so that in 2 years time - when no one is even aware that blogger still exists - I can forget to look back at my ignored blog and laugh at how much my current situation is constantly shrouded in weird situations and people. This is what I miss most about my old blog from my college years. Unfortunately, it went away with the absolution of pmonk and my cheap reluctance to continue to pay for gobs of hosting fees.

I hope I haven't kicked anyone out of readership that I didn't mean and maybe I'll change back to the public ways since I genuinely believe in the community of open posting (i'll just tell myself thats what Pinterest is for) but really this is a test to see if it will encourage me to write, explore the internets and post more often. If you know of anyone or hear of any complaints from not having access let me know and I'll probably be happy to add 'em.

Thanks friends and family. I shall cocoon myself in your safe and comfortable readership for a little while.

Love,
Shanimalschool

Summer 2013

Summer 2013 comes to a close. Its been a busy one that feels very optimistic. The prospect of working towards a goal has really pulled me out of a long time funk and its really refreshing. I'm excited to enter fall even though I know I'm going to be exhausted. I think I've inherited my parents work-a-holic gene and that makes me feel good.

I feel well on my way to starting my new program at school. I took two classes this past summer that lay the foundation towards become an accountant. Attending school while working has been... an adjustment. It makes me even more grateful to have such a supportive family and boo. I don't know how anyone without a stellar support system can do it!

Some of my classmates amaze me in that they work, have kids AND manage to attend class. I start fall semester two days from now and am just enjoying the calm before the storm.

Once summer classes ended, boo and I went off to the D.R. and had a blast. It was beautiful and spending quality time with just each other for company was so comfortable and relaxing.

Still working at ICS but looking to transition out into something more suitable with my fall course load.

Just remember...

not sure where I found this bobo Jake & Finn but is a nice little knock off rendering.
