In the Making

Its amazing the amount of impact this past week of snow has had on every one's week. I can personally say it has helped to slow things down, while also speeding others up. I have had the chance to spend four full days not in my car and inside with close friends. Often I find myself spending more time with my new Dodge Neon than with family or friends, even co-workers and classmates if you can believe that. If its not a trip to town for civilization and the usual needs from Wal-Mart, its the usual holiday 600 miles it takes to visit my family members in 3 days, with my foot to the pedal and a hot tire of rubber to the uneven pavement to 3 different cities.

School resumed promptly this Friday morning conveniently for my only Friday class at 8:00am. Really? I have the whole week off and now you want me to get up on a Friday morning at 6am? Thanks school. Thank you for reminding me that the real world only blinks at snow days, and if I had a real job the snow days might have not even happened.

The snow was able to give me the time to be reminded of what I spend every other day working towards. I am more than relaxing and TV. Don't get me wrong, I love sitting around and numbing out to a great episode of whatever reality marathon happens to be running for the week, but there are bigger things I have coming. There is a real, corporate, money making, paper pushing, life changing world out there for me. A world that can help to make all my "fairy tales" and "happily-ever-afters" come true.

I plan to work as hard as I can to make the grades, rock the interviews, and get that job that can help me to achieve the life I have dreamed about for the last 5 years of college. I have paid my due, and soon, very soon, the "big bad world" will induct me into its ranks and set me free to make things happen.

I will make things happen. Real things, big things, things that will help others, and you know what?

I can not wait!
