**RANT WARNING**
I am a VERY driven person. But I'm also very impatient at being the successful person I know I am going to be. As of right now, I have an Associates in Arts and Sciences, a Certificate in General Studies, a Completed Phlebotomy program (clinicals pending), 2 part time jobs where I am well respected, AND juggling a long distance relationship (so far so good). While I have all of that under my belt, in my mind, I'm no where. If I had my way and I could afford it, I'd be finishing up my Master's degree this summer, but I'm not that priviledged. So, I'm taking the longer way around, and it's constantly pissing me off and screwing me over which sets me back even more. I am honestly trying to keep an open mind and my head high...doing breathing exercises, but a person can only go through so much....ugh.
**RANT END**
Just a few things I thought about this weekend...
I can say that I am somewhat well rounded....actually no I can't...with my friends anyways. (Sorry guys)...Most of my friends are old.....-er than me...haha. So I don't necessarily know what they're talking about most of the time. By that time, I take mental notes and research it later...yes, I know, my nerd/genius is showing. However, I could tell you about the Godfather, Lethal Weapon (all), Rocky, etc. etc....action, guy crap. On the other hand, I've never seen Sleep somethin in Seattle, Breakfast at Tiffanys etc. etc. Now, I will be honest and say I still am a girl and I still have that week every month where chick flicks are the best thing on this Earth, but I'd much rather go to the movies and watch an action movie than a chick flick. I would much rather play basketball than go shopping at the mall. I could spit out NBA stats like it's part of my degree (football and baseball are not that amazing...no joke)...On the other hand I couldn't tell you for the life of me how to do a french manicure, when Brad Pitt/Justin Timberlake/'s birthday is (is it bad I just listed old guys? Can you tell I don't keep up with this stuff?) I guess in the end, this may be why I like hanging out with guys more....we've got a lot in common...(personality-wise)
Nerds/Geniuses are pretty weird if you ask me. They can be smart as hell, but messy. For example, not gunna lie, I know I am a smart cookie...nerd is kinda pushing it, but we'll say I'm a nerd right now. Anyways, I am SO OCD...a huge perfectionist, definitely; however, my desk is a MESS...on the upside, I know EXACTLY where everything is. Weird, right? Next weird thing...if i don't know something that is mentioned by someone I'm having a conversation with, I take a mental note and eventually put it in a notepad on my phone to research later...ask me about it so you can see it....definite nerd status. In a way, I think everyone should do it as you continue to learn and grow in knowledge....you don;t know how amazing it feels to win an educated battle or participate in an educated conversation. With this you have acheived greatness...haha.
So on a side note, I do feel a little better than when I started this post with my rant...but it's still marinating...pray for me this week...it'd be much appreciated ;-)
