back in school

I started University of Phoenix back up yesterday. It's harder than I thought it was going to be, but I am taking it all in stride. It feels good to feel like I am doing something to improve my life again.

Now that I am taking classes online I have more obligation to check in. In order to get my participation grade I have to post at least four days a week. It's going to be interesting to see how I work that out.

Not to say that NA is not improving my life. I have a better contact with my personal Higher Powers since I started 86 days ago. I have more focus and more drive as well. I wouldn't have what I have today if I hadn't stopped using.

I don't know about anything else. I went to all day group on Monday and did get some things done, but I don't know that I will take the time to do that again any time soon. I want to get back into the swing of things with school first.

I hope to still have time for Business Management and crafts. I went through my craft books the other day and found a bunch of neat projects that I would like to try. I also want to keep up with my course.

Hopefully things will all work out and continue to keep looking up.

I got a dog on Sunday. Maddie is a retriever/collie mix, white with brown spots, lazy, timid and shy. She is 6 yrs old, and spends most of her time in the bed we got her in our bedroom. I already love her so much.

University of Phoenix still has me tied up in red tape so I haven't started back yet.

I don't know what is going on with my computer, but I can no longer access my favorites under this new system. It really sucks.

I finally did a chapter of my Business Management course yesterday as I went to all day group. I also finished my Step Three for NA and did some embroidery. I am almost done with the pillow case I am embroidering. All in all I guess it was a good day yesterday.

That's about all that is going on for now.

couldn't stand to blog

was so tired of the monotony of my life that I couldn't stand to write about it.
Things are different somewhat now.

My classes for University of Phoenix are switching to online and begin on June 22. I can't wait to get started again as I will be held accountable for my actions each day.

I haven't worked on my Business Management course in a week or more. I got back my new grade on the Part 2 Exam 3 and I passed. I also passed Exam 4. I should work on it but lately reading and writing have come in small portions.

I don't want to read lately and I've been shaking a lot lately so writing is an adventure in itself. I haven't even kept up with my offline journal that much.

I had ideas for a couple of poems but I didn't take the time to write them down at the time so now they are long gone. I should type up my notes on Nezoom and my Wicca workbook but I can't seem to get myself to do that either.

I know. I complain about the monotony of my life but don't do anything to change it by doing the things I should be doing.

This is the first time I have been on the computer in three days. I couldn't bring myself to get on when all I really did was spend hours playing Facebook applications. My crops are probably dead, all my cafe food is spoiled and my dog probably ran away along with my mouse on Petville. I just don't care. Why should these stupid games be so important in my life? I saw that I was becoming obsessed so I stayed away.

Things are beginning to shape up. I hope that they continue.
