A Busy Bee

Wowsers!

It’s been nearly 6 months! That is half a year. I can’t understand why I have not had the inclination to write in my oh-so-beloved diary. Perhaps all the writing I was doing in my classes just took up too much of my creative energy. I don’t promise anything exciting or interesting either. It won’t stop me from trying, just don’t hold me to it if this entry is less than stellar!

In 6 months, the update should read something like this:

Jibby and I gave our relationship one last shot and my insecurities coupled with his inability to put in his part failed us, we have not seen one another in nearly 3 months.
I am halfway through my MBA program and considering taking a summer break before I go back for my last 11 classes.
I’m still working in Admissions and finding myself hating it less and less. I am grateful to have a job – a good one at that!
I’ve recently begun living a healthier lifestyle and in a month, I’ve lost a total of 10lbs. I give myself short term goals and once they are reached, it motivates me to set yet another short term goal. I feel great, and have a much more positive outlook on life because of it. What we eat and how we choose to stay active really does have direct effects on how we feel.
I’m rehearsing with a community theater for a musica, Once Upon A Mattress, which goes up in July. I was cast as an ensemble member and it turns out to be a lot harder than I expected. I’m so used to playing the lead roles and not really collaborating with others in terms of acting in a group setting, harmonizing and etc. It began as a true test to my humility, but I’m passing with flying colors. Ensemble members may just work as hard (if not harder) than those who play in a lead role. I have to teach myself how to be in the background and yet still act without upstaging anyone. It has posed a great challenge and I enjoy it.
I’m on two volleyball teams this season, not one, which gives me double the excercise during the week. I have little time to hit the gym and so I try to use our scrimmage time to work out as much as possible.

My schedule looks a little like this: Monday/Tuesday – Volleyball, Wednesday/Thursday – Rehearsals, and soon…if I choose not to take a break from school Friday – classes, Sunday – Church. I love it! I wouldn’t want it any other way. The only dilema is how difficult it is to find the time to eat a healthy dinner. I do make attempts to prepare the evening before, but regardless of the effort, the earliest I get to eat dinner is 9:30pm. Sometimes I take a light dinner and eat it on my way to rehearsal. Nevertheless, I love Rachel Rays 30-minute meals and so I’d much rather get home and make a fresh dinner as opposed to nibbling on a peanut butter sandwhich and some fruit 😉

There are details that are necessary to fill in the blank, but I haven’t the time to write them in, nor do I want to in one ober long entry. So, let this be my comeback, as I will begin to write daily once more!

What I will say is that I’m single, busy, and happy. It has taken a lot of tears, heartache, and dollars to get me to this place i’m in at present, but all very well worth it. I believe in God first and foremost. I believe in myself. I believe in the power of the love that comes from those who truly have cared about me for a very long time. I believe in life…and with that…I’ve chosen to live it to the fullest extent as I always have, but this time…with more confidence and a self sufficient attitude.

Much Love Always To All My Readers,
The Comeback Rose
