Decisions, Decisions

So it's coming to that time again when I need to start planning my next year and thinking of what direction I want to take it. Seeing that I still haven't found my "dream career," whatever that is, I have been pondering grad school once again. There are two areas of study that I'm interested in: Creative Writing and Interior Design. I still haven't decided which one would better suit me, but I think I would be happy with both. So anyway, here are my plans as of yet:

Plan A- MFA in Creative Writing at UT or other school
Plan B- Rotary scholarship to study abroad for a year
Plan C- Master's in Interior Design at any school I get into
Plan D- find a decent job in Austin and forget grad school
Plan E- (god forbid) move back home

So those are my plans in the order I prefer them. If anybody has any tips or advice, I need it NOW. I am having a hard time with these decisions right now, and I've been praying for God to give me direction, and He hasn't given me one yet. I am really starting to like Austin a lot and don't want to leave, but if God wants to take me elsewhere for awhile, then I have to go. So please leave comments and give me some sort of direction here. Thanks!

Resolutions for 2014

Things I resolve to do in 2014: Consult God before all my decisions. With all the opportunities that will be coming up soon, I will have to make some quick decisions. I just want to make sure they're the right ones because these decisions can direct the rest of my life. Eat healthier and start exercising regularly. My body is getting older, and with my 30th birthday coming up, it's high time I start taking my diet more seriously. Time to have more self-discipline in what I eat and treat my body as a temple. Learn music theory. Now that I'm finally putting my music out there for others to enjoy, I want to write more and better songs. The biggest skill that would help me is music theory (basically the mathematics of music). This would help me create better chord progressions, which I struggle with now. Spend more time with God in the mornings. I usually drag myself out of bed in the mornings and rush to work. I want slower, more peaceful mornings. The times that I succ...

After the Festival

My show today went GREAT! I was very proud of my band, and we had a great scenery around us. There was a river and boat behind the stage, a green lawn in front of us, and tons of people and vendors. It was a sunny day with no rain (thank God), and we had amazing burgers afterwards. The sound guy could've done a better job, but as a musician, you get used to bad sound guys. I am just glad we got through our first performance! And even though we didn't do perfectly, I am still proud of us. With that said, I am now at home chilling all alone, still trying to recuperate from the hot sun today. I am busily posting pictures and videos of our performance, trying to stay on top of the social media game. Even though I'm single, I feel okay with it, and I am okay with spending the rest of my Saturday alone. I already had a pretty successful day, and I am satisfied. I don't need a million people to hang out with, and I'm trying to reconstruct my friendship base anyway. You...

Update on Life

I just wanted to update because I'm very happy with my life right now. I've been talking to someone new- a crush from high school- and we recently reconnected, and we are finding that we have sooooo much in common, it's not even funny. He might move to Australia with his job, but I am still enjoying this bit of time we have to talk and get to know each other. I can't believe this is my 3rd relationship this year- I usually have 1 relationship per year, and I give myself a long break in between. But I feel that God has lifted the barrier of me not dating anyone, and now He is giving me free reign. So far, so good because I have been dating MUCH better men than my usual. So I am happy because we enjoy all the same hobbies, the same music, the same everything! We do have some differences on religion (he's a Christian, but he doesn't celebrate Christmas), so that may be the make it or break it deal. But in the meantime, I am very happy getting to know him. In ot...
