Hmm... Ponderings

Well, I have had a whole week of working with little kids... still one more day to go. It is a tiring but very fulfilling task. I would call it a job, but to me it's not. I love watching these children blossom. Some of these kids I've watched since they were babies and now some of them are 5 or 6 years old, and there are a few that are older. I honestly can't believe how time flies. Even in the other areas of my life. I am blown away that I will be hitting 20 this year in July... Not that it is a big birthday but it's getting up there. I mean, here I am, an adult. It feels like just yesterday I was getting up and going to class everyday in junior high and high school. But I am glad that I'm past those years. They had their good times, as well as bad. I think it's still funny that people say that once you graduate you'll miss high school. Boy, are they wrong! I may miss the carelessness of the time, being young and not having to deal with as much responsibility, but I don't miss the drama. Friends wanting to be popular, stupid boys that break your heart because they won't grow up... I'm so over high school. I'm honestly so ready to be an adult, little by little. I may be getting a full time job and I hope that I will be able to save up. I have a long.... very long, list of things that I need to get. My braces NEED to come off, I need my own car, I want (this is just for me) more piercings and to get my tattoos--which are way down on the list, I want to save up so that I can get an apartment hopefully with a good friend of mine and I can start the serious independence. Maybe then after I get some of my ducks in a row, I will be satisfied with myself and I can start dating again... that one is a story for another blog. I'm working on checking things off the list as we speak... Come on tax return. :)
