I need to get back to school, for real. It's driving me crazy to not be studying something and working toward my degree.
I think I'm going to look into American Public University System. It's online so I could study no matter when/where I move, and I could still go for an English major, but with a minor in International Relations. It would be extremely useful.
One of my friends is pursuing a psychology degree through them, so I'll talk to her about her opinions of the school..

Evacuate
You are what is keeping me here...if for some reason what we have between us ever were to shatter, so would all remaining loyalty to this place.
I will be on my way to distant shores. Permanently.
America has never felt like a home.

Blink
Everything comes to an end. Everything. Whether it is something you enjoy, despise, or feel entirely neutral about, nothing lasts forever. It's a very startling thought.
On one hand, it's comforting to know that the bad situations can only exist for so long. One day they'll be behind me; and, although I will have new struggles, at least it will not be the same ones forever.
More disappointing, though, is the thought that the good things will all eventually end as well. One day I will not frequent the same places I go now. I can accept that, even though it may be sad to look back. Friendships last longer than situations, but still after enough years even the strongest friendships come apart--whether by simply growing in separate directions, or huge fallouts, or ultimately death. I finally have some of the best people I've ever met as very close friends--people who are genuinely worth knowing and worth relying on.
It makes me afraid to blink. Days fly by, even months. If I stop paying attention for a second, I'm going to realize I'm ten or twenty years older, and all of this is gone. The moments most worth living, the ones that are the most memorable, are the ones that fly by the most quickly. Time to make every second count and enjoy it.

Seven
My goal for today is to learn something new about 7 different things. I’m going to leave it fairly vague so that as I look through information, whatever sticks out to me is what I can focus on. I am just so tired of not expanding my knowledge, that I need to do something about it.
My categories for the day are as follows:
-An important historical event
-An influential person
-A social issue
-5 new words in 3 different languages
-Further knowledge on a psychological theory
-Further knowledge on a linguistic theory
-Unknown, someone recommend something to me
Help me out? :) In addition to a 7th category, I'm also interested to see if anyone wants to recommend something specific for me to check out under the other 6 categories. Feel free to link things to me or to simply post information. Thanks so much.
