Yes, I left you all hanging…bad me! (Thanks to everyone for their comments since I was away! Lets me know ppl still bother to come here, haha.) I hope everyone has had a great New Years so far. I’m back from my three and a half week vacation! You know as much as I want to be done with school (this is my FINAL semester!! Count down to graduation: T-minus 16 weeks and counting!!), I’ll miss the looong weekends and breaks. The real world doesn’t allow such things unless you’ve accumulated some serious sick days and vacation time, lol.

I spent the holiday with my Fam in H-town, which was great since I won’t see them again until late March. I’m a bit disappointed in myself since I will have to take some classes over again. I was so absorbed with a lot of nonsense last semester. One lesson I learned in ‘09 was that the only person holding me back is ME. I kept telling myself ‘I can’t do this…’ or ‘I can’t do that’…when it was all in my head. My mindset prevented me from doing a lot of the things I wanted to do, and I’m talking about beyond school towards other issues in my life.

It’s a New Year, heck a new DECADE, and I can’t let me hold ME back. I’m at a crossroads now where I could potentially go in any direction in my personal or professional life. My biggest decision is: where do I want to live after I’m done with school? Of course the job market has some say, but should I stay here, go home, explore a totally new city (ATL…hint hint)? I’m not sure what exactly I’ll be doing after graduation. I want to become an Art Director, and I’ll have to figure out how to go from Economics BS degree to the arts…I’m thinking about using Marketing as a bridge. What ever I do, it has to go in a direction that I think will fulfill me. I say “think” because people change their minds so often. I can only work with what I know now.

So thanks everybody for reading. Here’s to 2010~
