Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty I'm free at last!

Yes, the title of this entry is exactly how I feel. I am
free from the babysitting job that I was doing during the
day. I can honestly say that I am happy to be done with
it. I sort of felt bad for the family because it is so
hard to find good help, but then again, I don't feel bad
enough to stay.

Today was the first day when I actually took a complete
day off. I didn't do anything at all that related to my
primary job. I slept in until 11am and then spent most of
the day on the computer. Afterwards, I took time to clean
my house which very sorely needed to be cleaned. I'm not
anywhere near done but it is definitely well on its way.

I'm looking forward to this weekend. My best friend is
coming to visit and I haven't seen her since Christmas.
(Hence the cleaning!) She also hasn't been here since my
birthday last year...that's over a year ago as my birthday
has just recently past.

Speaking of birthdays...wow! I'm 29! This is the last
hurrah for my 20's. There are so many things I wanted to
do before I turned 30 and I haven't accomplished much of
it. In realizing this small disappointment, I have made a
commitment to myself that I am bound and determined to
carry out. For a long time I've wanted to be a recording
engineer...ya know, recording and producing music. Well,
I've finally decided to start investing in this dream.
It's going to take a while but I know I can do it.

The first thing I've decided to do is to begin gathering
things to make my own home studio and to familiarize
myself with certain aspects of the recording business.
Then, next year, I want to attend a recording school in
Ohio. The nice thing about the school is that it only
lasts 2 months and that's only if I do all 8 weeks at
once. The reason I'm putting it off until next year is
because I need to save the money that it will cost to go.
I believe I can do that in a year and so I'm setting out
to do so.

I wonder if I'll read this entry a year from now and know
whether or not I am on my way to fulfilling my goals and
dreams. This is a doable dream and a realistic goal so
the only way I can fail is if I don't put forth the effort
that is needed. I won't let that happen!

Well, that is the most I've written in a long time. I
guess I'm making up for all the days that I haven't
written. Today was a very good day...it's nice to be
positive.

Until next time...
