Update
It's March already, and i thought i would give a brief update on the status of my goals that i have set forth at the beginning of the year.

1. Grad school...i have already applied for grad school, now just waiting for them to let me know if i got an interview which is tentatively scheduled for March 21. i hope i get to interview!

2. Love life...it has improved, but still has a lot of work to go. currently i'm interested in someone i met 8 years ago and lost touch with until recently. i have a feeling that there is mutual attraction, but certain life situations are holding both of us back. we shall see how that progresses, but hopefuly positively.

3. Work...no callbacks anywhere. i've been unemployed since november, and haven't made any progress with the job hunt. i'm going to keep going, but it's hard, especially when there are lots of people getting laid off on a daily basis.

i must keep my eyes on the prize. 2009 has had mixed results thus far, but hopefully it will all be worth it!

stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages! =p

2008 2009
My main priority since the calendar switched over to the new year has been to finish my grad school application. I'm about 95% done with the application. I have already done 2 drafts of my personal statement and it's currently being edited by friends of mine. The application is due on January 15, but I'm aiming to turn it in on January 14.

Then I can switch my focus onto my 2 other goals that I mentioned in the previous blog. But sitting here on a Saturday night at home, I can't but help to wish I were focusing on goal # 2 right now...

oh well, priorities are priorities (that, and no one wanted to go out with me tonight)

stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/

New Years Resolution
Well...not really a new years resolution, more like a new years hope. I am hopeful that 2009 will be a better year than 2008. I had a lot of ups and downs in 2008, but mostly downs. But there are 3 things that I am focusing on in 2009, which will make it a better year.

1. Get into the CBB Program @ SDSU
2. Have a better love life
3. Find a better job.

#1 is the grad school program that i am currently applying to...i really hope i get into it this year
#2 is self explanatory...it was a down year in the love life of yours truly...maybe i was still trying to get over the ex...maybe i was afraid to get back on the dating scene, but whatever the case, things will change in 2009.
#3 is a short term goal because i am hoping to get back to work and save money enough for when i have to cut down to part time while i'm in grad school.

oh yeah, 2009 will also be my 10 year reunion from high school...hard to believe that it's been 10 years since i graduated. more motivation for me to accomplish those 3 goals that i have set up for myself in 2009. let's see if i can make it happen. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)
