When the scatter subsides...
So 2005 was a pretty bad year for me - in fact it was probably one of the worst years of my life.
A lot of things occurred and regardless of the learning factor it was a pretty brutal time. 2006 has been sort of up and down but I'm finally entering a phase in my life where all of these opportunities are presenting themselves and I'm really grasping some sort of direction for the future. It's an amazing feeling, I feel like all of the bullshit has settled for the moment and i'm things are coming together. I have a second interview with this company that has amazing benefits and where the starting wage is almost double the bullshit amount i'm currently making at starbucks. If I get the job i'll be getting good hours and I'll be able to move out again in September into an apartment without roommates! I'm starting bellydancing classes in two weeks, i'm spending lots of time with my friends, my social life is crazy fun good times and my relationship with my family has become incredible. I'm also going to start taking classes that will familiarize me with trading and the stock market- my dads paying and that's something that could ultimately make me really financially comfortable. I really want to preserve this feeling, it's great :)

cherish the feeling while you have it!Because guaranteed something significant will happen to shatter the calm and leave chaos in its wake.Thats the beauty of life though.Take it all in strive.

...so are you saying that only people who do not have thier shit together are suseptible to having things go wrong?Youre also implying in that statement that I do not have my shit together,Id like to know how youve come to that conclusion on my life that you know so very little about?
Lifes not about the ups and down only the living?The ups and down are a part of life which in turn makes it worth living.Hence take it all in strive or thats the beauty of it. What makes you think my chin is not up?What makes you think Im looking at life as shit?I see everything but that,for once in my life I actually can appreciate all that is beautiful in life,something I didnt know oh lets sayyyyyyyyy 7-8 months ago. You dont realize the full beauty of life until youve created another.

Thanks you guys, the interview is for a company called 'Teligence' i'll basically be doing customer service inquiries for different phone chat lines. Which will be amusing to say the least.
Val, I realize that and that's essentially why i'm trying to revel in the moment.

Nonetheless, the calm before, after or during the storm is always a pleasant respite, so really there is no arguing against good times with loved ones, and some fashion of confidence or inner peace. :)

You know what? After I read Val's post I was like 'wow, that was a really thoughtful post', she's not trying to rain on Shadi's parade, but it is part of life, revel in its beauty but prepare for its chaos! (omg was that ever cliche) life has a fleeting beauty and that is what makes it truly wonderful. good to hear shadi!

i am looking forward to the calm before the next storm. i am still a student....so my years work in semesters and summer breaks. the last two semesters (year) have been shit. soooooo difficult to get thru. specially the last couple of months. it just seemed like i was never on top. and any time i thought i was almost at the peak.....i would reach the bottom of another mountain. but! i am gradding with my diploma at the end of summer which means no more being a broke ass student and actually having the time to do the things i wanna do!!!! and moving back to civilization...which means friends and a better social life, plus closer to my wonderful family. so things are looking up for real this time. i just keep telling myself it'll all get better soon. life will finally feel like it's getting started.....instead of feeling like i'm just preparing myself for the next thing. hehe. a couple of weeks ago i was have a horrible day, one of those days where everything possible goes wrong and you feel utterly alone in a harsh, cold world. and i was telling my friend jen about it and about the shitty year i've been having. and later i get this text msg from her telling me my horoscope was something like "hard work in 2006 will pay off in 2007" lol. funny when little things like that happen just at the right moments. :)

I've been really uneasy about what I want to do career wise for awhile but now i'm starting to realistically get a grasp on things. But yeah, it's good to hear that there are other people who are more or less in the same boat.
