When we unite we're falling higher...

Well howdy there people. The last week has been a bit of a challenging time for me. A few days ago i came to the decision that i was finally going to move out on my own. But when i found out that social assistance and healt care couldn't help me out with my living expense, that kinda burst that balloon. But having the last couple of days to think about it i am really happy the way things are going now. It's just that it's been a little confusing lately and i went off half cocked the other day, not really taking everything into account. But I'm feeling much better now and more confident of where I'm going to in life. The past year has been a real learning experience and I can see that looking back over my blog entries since last march. I've really come so far in such a little amount of time and to be honest it I still have so far to go.

Well I've been thinking lately, and I've decided that i need to expand my horizons and going back to college right now is imposible because of finances and red tape. So i've been looking into correspondence schools. I was origianly think of doing the elctronics course i started before going to Lawrence College, but have decided that ICS will not meet my needs. So i did some browsing and found a place called PCDI, and low and behold they also have an electronics course. The content and ciriculum go light years beyond that of the ICS program and am pretty sure i will be enrolling in the program when the forms get mailed to me. It is very afordable. And I read over the site very carefully and they provided so much more information about thier courses and staff that I am confident this will help me in my career. When you read about thier instructors being industry leaders in thier field and can see student testimonials where other correspondence schools do not do this it makes the choice clear to me. This is the school i want to teach me. And as i keep saying I am still going for my A+ certification as well. All of this combined with my current knowledge, skill, and education should help me on my way. I'm hoping to be a PC tech of somekind by the end of the year. I know it's going to be difficult at times but I know i can get there. I just have to keep clear sight of my goals and keep at it. I know i can do it. If there's anything i've learned in the last six months it's that i can achieve anything i set my mind to. For now i need to set atainable goals to which i know i can work towards, always keeping the bigger goals in mind, and always keep moving forward. This aplies to everything in my life not just my career. As long as i can see that i am always making progress of somekind I will be happy.

Well as for the book. I'm going to do some work on it when i finish this entry. Steve gave me some good ideas tonite, which i will keep in mind. Rather than continuing the actual writing of the story, I am going to do some character sumaries to help me with story developement. Also i will make notes of some of the more recent ideas i've had for the story. I will keep you guys informed of my progress.

Well thats what things have been like lately. Talk to all soon.
