i'm a winner :]

that's more than just motivational talk.

i won this!
i've been reading kara's blog for a couple months now and she is so much fun. she has great stories that make me reminisce about high school, she's a fabulous photographer (she recently added some new lovelies to her etsy), and her scrapbook pages are so inspiring. i'm so excited that i won her hambly giveaway :]

after a long chat with my mom last night about everything under the sun i immediately felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. i don't know what it is, but my mom just knows exactly what to say sometimes. its really easy to talk to her and even if it's not about anything in particular i just love talking to her.

i feel extremely motivated today. i've been searching the san francisco area for possible job opportunities and dreaming about how wonderful it would be to live there next year. i want to update my resume and apply. i'm trying really hard to stop worrying about the future and start making things happen. i need to start planning to apply to dental school, and start studying for the DAT. i need to utilize the internship and career center while i still have the opportunity. the help is here, i just need to find it, and that means looking for it. here's to being more proactive and less apprehensive.

i finished another layout, this one is for the creative type challenge. it was all about celebrating your handwriting, and according to these guidelines, my handwriting revealed that i was original, emotionally well-balanced, focused and organized (i definitely own a label maker).
