Trivial Happiness

I just found out that I'm going to have an A. C. Moore less than 2 miles away from my apartment and I'm excited. I like A. C. Moore much much better that Michaels and JoAnn's Fabrics because of their bigger yarn selection. Along with the A. C. Moore, there's gonna be a new Marshalls and a Bed Bath & Beyond. Yep... that's it.

PS. I have half my stuff already packed. So, I'm not doing too bad. All my yarn is packed... except the Sleeveless Leaf Top. I'm doing fine... although there's not enough progress to show a pic. Soon... coming soon.

Catching up...

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
~Mahatma Gandhi

"The key to change... is to let go of fear."
~Rosanne Cash

A few important changes have occurred in my life in the past couple weeks.

1. I’m leaving graduate school. Yes… you read me correctly. I struggled with the idea for many months and came to the conclusion that I needed to step out. Every single day I fought myself… kicked myself out of bed… pushed myself out of the door… and tried to convinced myself that this (graduate school) is what I had chose, what I wanted, and I had to finish. Little by little, I was driving myself crazy and being less and less motivated. Finally, I made it… I took a step forward and talked to my boss. He totally understood and was very supportive. At this point I was totally sure that this change is what I need. It doesn’t mean I hate science. Science has been my life since almost middle school. I have great appreciation for the field, scientist, and the learning process… I just want to do something else; I want to try my hand at something totally different. We’ll see what happens. By the way, I’m not just quitting. I’m changing plans of study… from Ph.D. to M.S. But I’m almost done. I just need to tie some loose ends, write a paper, write a thesis and defend. I should finish sometime during this coming Fall Semester.

2. I started a new diet. I’m doing Nutrisystem and so far (couple days) it has been very good. The food tastes good and I don’t feel deprived… yet. Will keep you posted about how I like it. I think I need to spend more time on it to have a real opinion. I really need to lose some weight.

3. I’m moving from my apartment and I’m not sad at all. The reason is related to change 1. Currently, I live in university housing and since I’m finishing soon, I have to move out. I decided to move know because the hubster is starting a new job soon. He’ll be a fist year teacher!!! We’re very excited about this and I know he’ll be great. I just don’t want him to have the stress of school and the stress of moving. So we thought it was convenient to move now. We’re moving to a really nice two-bedroom apartment in a great apartment complex. I can’t wait to move.

So that’s good for two weeks, right? It’s not good… it’s excellent… GREAT. I needed those changes.

I also got my yarn from Smiley’s. I like the colors… but I didn’t expect the Pineapple CE to be that YEEEEEELLOW!!!!! I can’t wait to use the yarn, although I’ll have to wait since we’re moving by the end of August. So, I need to pack like a mad woman.

I’ll go knit for a while now… See ya!
