Sam's from Chunk to Hunk Journal :)

Thanks again you guys. I officially received email notice that I will be welcomed back in Spring (jan.) 2009 semester. I like to think I have it all figured out sometimes but I really don't, lol. Today is the first day I finally feel better about things and am ready to chillax for a while about it all. In life, you gotta just do what you want and what works for you. I know I'm probably going to get some shit from certain people about my deferral but, screw them. They don't know me or the task I wasn't quite ready to take on. I do have lots of support though, and that helps.

I haven't really been exercising at all this week. I need to change that and start up my routines again. As far as putting back on weight, I surprisingly haven't. I'm still holding strong at 210lbs according to the gym scale.

Forget those people that give you shit. Like you said, they don't know all the details of your life and the load you were about to take on! Do it on YOUR terms, no one else's! Besides, you already received the notice saying they are ready to wait for you, so it's all good! Just chillax! :D
 
Thanks Tyly. I'm so glad your back and on here more often to help me with my qualms... That's what i gotta realize. Living my life for me on my terms. It's easier said than done. I just gotta remember to do it and relax when the stress is crazy. That's when I usually start to wig out, and I don't want that to happen during school at all...

Some people are always good at giving you their opinion or advice when you don't even ask for it. I don't think I'm one of those people, or at least I try not to be because they drive me nuts.

OH, Alta I didn't mean you at all. I feel advice/opinions are pretty much free reign on here. I mean in my everyday physical life. It seems as tho some people need to tell me how exactly to live my life and give me shit sometimes for things that don't affect them, such as my Nursing school and stuff. I'm me and I know myself. I never meant anyone on here I swear :):):):):):) I love everyone on here and love the support I get and have the pleasure of giving to others.

That was kind of harsh, I hope it doesn't turn anyone away from my diary. I didn't mean anyone on here I swear!!!!!!!!!

:grouphug:...........well ALRIghhghghtY then!!! GOOD...I was starting to FEEL :( like YOU didn't want me....or a lot of other people's opinion......YAAYAYAY!!! I'm happy I was WRONG!
 
On here I welcome everyone's opinion, and I love to give and recieve. Please anyone give me your opinion about absolutely anything and I would love to hear.

I guess I was just venting about some particulars in my real/physical life that don't really seem to understand situations and stuff before they start spouting off.

That's kind of forum mentality... people cant fix themselves but think they have the ability to fix everyone else :D

it's easy to see what other people are doing and offer an opinion.. ;D

ad ya know what -opinions are like assholes - everyone has one and sometimes they stink :D
 
that is totally me. I want to fix everyone else and all their problems but when it comes to myself I sometimes feel like I'm a lost cause, or damaged goods or something.

I totally love and welcome everyone's advice and opinions on here. It's a forum and should be that way. I just frustrated in real/physical life when I'm getting advice against my choices from someone who doesn't even understand what it's like to be in my shoes, ya know? For instance, X says you should do this, this and this... And I say, that's easy for you to say, since you still live with your parents and they support you financially.... I just get sick of getting real world advice from people who don't live in the real world but think they do.... alright, that is me being bitch 9000 for the day, hehe.

Hey, Sam. I'm feeling the love. Keep it coming. :seeya:

Mal, I think the saying goes, "... and they all stink." :ack2:
 
I'm glad you feel the love Trops :) That is my goal!

Sat thru a meeting with my dad today here at work, lol. My dad is probably one of the funniest peeps I know. We put the conference call meeting on mute and did funny impressions and talked shit about the higher ups conducting it. Some of them are so out of touch with reality, I swear... Well, it's pretty official they aren't a big fan of our older data center anymore and it looks as though they will be building a new one within a couple of years in a different state... That could mean my dad will be out of a job and many of my friends as well.... Sucks suck sucks... The way my company moves though I wouldn't be surprised if it takes them 4 or 5 years instead of the 2 projected, lol...

-Sam
 
That sucks. Any chance of relocating with the company?

I was talking to a friend last night who is an engineer for Ford. They are looking at cutbacks again. Doesn't know if he'll have a job in two weeks. Talk about stress. He lives in Detroit and the only jobs around are nursing. He's talking about going back to school for nursing just so that he'll have a job.
 
I don't know if I will need to relocate witht the company. Hopefully I will be a Nurse by then and not need to worry about it. My dad I worry about most. They would probably let him relocate but who knows what kind of rabbits they will pull out of their hat, etc... He's 55 and been working here for about 20yrs, and doesn't want to retire for at least another 10 or so... Who knows... He's a good man and doesn't deserve a lot of the shit he's been handed recently... Their are some real pieces of work that have made it into upper management here... its unbelievable. I'm glad I've had this job though, it's helped me get closer and reconnect with my dad and i have now seen "the corporate" side of a company.... Hope your friend doesn't lose his job but, if he does and decides to become a nurse he will have tons of job security. I'm probably looking forward to taking care of all the baby boomers when I finally become one... :)

-Sam
 
Thanks. He'd make a great nurse. Tons of energy and positive attitude and really caring about people. Also smart as a whip. Just kind of sucks to be doing something for over twenty years and then have to change careers completely just to find a job. His problem is that he's divorced and needs to be close to his daughter. If not for that he'd move out of that area. Really sucks.

People who should on others drive me nuts.. it's a word that I try to avoid though I fall victim to it occassionally... Until a person has walked a mile or more i your shoes, they've got no business telling you what you should or shouldn't do - they can say what they woudl do in that istuation - but everyone comes to the same situation from a different place.

I got this pm on another site the other day with a person - half my age -with no life experience at all -t elling me what I should do and how i should feel -it took everything in my power to not tell her exactly where she could go and what she could do when she got here -becuase if she spent 5 seconds reading anything I ever wrote she'd know that her "advice" was bull..
 
ITA Mal... I have some friends and family members that are total "you should do this" people. My uncles are notorious for it... It gets very annoying because you take one look at them and what they have going in their lives and they really have no place telling me what I should or need to do... I guess deep down it is probably coming from a place of love or something but that still doesn't mean I want to hear it...

Today has been good. Very very hot today. It was ridiculous how hot it felt today... Food has been if-ish and I tried to keep it mellow today so I could have enough energy to stay up overnight tonite... Hopefully it works. I shall be on here catching up with people's journals all night I presume :)

Happy weekend,
Sam
 
HA!

Those are my favorite kind of people... they love to stand there and say "you should do this", when their own lives are not put together. So irritating! As the saying goes, "Do as I say, not as I do"... those kind of people is where that saying came from!
