Lately, while things have been going great for me... there has been an internal battle that many people do not realize is going on. With the added stresses of recently life changes... i've been having a hard time keeping it all together. The motto - Work hard, Play hard - Is really the only thing thats keeping me focused on my goals. But, it comes at a dangerous price for me. I've been smoking more than i typically do... and drinking lately has been a bit... "harder" than i'd prefer. I know in the next week i will get assigned a shift which i'll be starting in october... and honestly once i get the shift is when i know what i plan on doing to "settle" in for the winter and get on track for the next two years. I figure... if its second shift... i'll basically be spending my week nights working... which is what i am hoping for. If it's third shift... then i'll really be spending my week nights working... but...until i know... i don't really know what my salary will be. I don't know how much i'll be able to save... how much i have for my bills... and so on... So, Tomorrow i start in the center which I'm nervous and excited about... mainly because i want to put some of the stuff that i learned into practice. I just hope i "make the cut" and can accomplish my goals.
In other news... there is a tropical storm or whats left of it... off the coast today. the winds are up and the sky is cloudy (even though the sun is peaking out right now). Yesterday i went do to beavertail to take some photos of the waves. Today would be a good day for that too but on the agenda today is to take and pass the VCP Foundations exam.... also to go to the gym... then... have dinner and read for the rest of the night. Tomorrow will come early and i want to be refreshed for my first official day of work.
