Wow. Just... wow. More later (if I'm lucky).

Well, I should probably keep counting the days, but I think I'm too lazy to update every day...

Er, initially I intended to update this blog every day, to keep up with my progress. I'll still, um, aim for that, but I don't think it's really practicable.

Anyway, part of the reason I have updated a lot these past few weeks is that it's been so very busy. The other thing is that, last week, I lost my job. It wasn't a terrific job - indeed, there were a lot of problems with it, including lack of support from upper management - but nevertheless, I felt like crying my eyes out. I didn't, because part of my nature wouldn't allow it; the part that says, "crying won't solve anything, it'll just slow me down when I need to get to work." What I did do was visit the blessed sacrament first thing and said my prayers. It made me feel considerably better.

Of course, losing my job is a monkey in the wrench to my plans... depending on how long it takes me to get another, paying off my loans will be a problem, as will finishing school next semester. It makes getting to Dallas and the Art Institute just that much further away. Honestly, though, I'm not panicked or worried at all. I really have decided to put all my faith in God, letting Him take the lead. I know that sounds dry as toast and completely corny, but it's actually kind of fun and exciting - like riding a rollarcoaster in a tunnel.
