So it has been a while since I've been on here. I've been doing a lot of studying for the GRE. I have to do really well on the test to know that I have a chance of getting into the graduate school program I want to go to. The heat is on.

But obviously my life has been rather mundane. I get up on the weekdays no later than 6 AM and go run a few miles with my dog. Get back do a workout then clean up and get down to business of studying. My running has come on gradually since the summer and has been a good addition to my everyday routine. Some days I run at dusk to wind down my day. Not everyday, but some. I'm thinking about adding swimming to my morning routine b/c I know the lifeguards on the AM shift at the pool I use to work at... that would be a good AM workout... run there, swim 1/2 mile then run home.

A few weeks from now, my life will have more direction that it does right now. I will have the GRE behind, applications into my perspective school(s) and getting that ball over that hump. I like having direction in my life, but I also like to have adventure as well. I enjoy, at times, not knowing what is going to happen next. I know it is good to have a plan with your life and know what you are going to do, but there are times when I wish all that could fall to waist side and you can be with the one(s) you love, friends, or doing what you love to do and not worry about job interviews, applying to grad school, studying for tests, and whatever else. Not everything in life falls into place the way you want it to. If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right you'll more than likely never do much of anything. You either know that you want to do something or you don't. That is a line that I've heard most of my life.

I know what I want out of life. I know I want, Lord willing, to eventually get married, have kids/family, and have a successful career (whatever it may end up being). Hopefully the having kid aspect will come after getting married, that is what I'm planning on. Those are the major things I want out of life, and what woman wouldn't? Nobody knows what you really want, only you do. If you don't know what you want, what makes you think somebody else does?
