You think the Universe is trying to tell me something?
Like, oh, I don’t know… “slow the fuck down!” perhaps?
I’m a college student. Part of being a college student involves lots of homework and very little sleep. You’d think that an insomniac like myself would like that, but I don’t.
I think at this point in the game, it’s the lack of sleep that’s making me sick.
What I dont’ know is… is it because of my age (44 in little over a week) that I have a tendency to get exhausted? Or because of other factors, such as a chronic illness I’ve had for going on 6 years now that I’ve been treating myself because I don’t have health insurance? Or something else all together?
If I slow down too much, I’ll fall behind. Then I won’t graduate in May and go on to the 4 year school to work on my Bachelor’s.
If I don’t slow down, I’m afraid a lot more than not graduating in May is going to befall me.
Perhaps I should be listening to the Universe. And my body.
Ya think?

Nice try. No soup for you.
I think someone tried to hack my wordpress account. I found a bunch of weird entries on the dashboard page (which Big Blue Couch shares) that when clicked on, went to my primary blog. I haven’t figured out how to report it yet though.
So, whoever you are, nice try. I’ll figure out how to report to wordpress in regards to your shenanigans. Go bug someone else. You know, with the skills you have, you can do so much more than screw up other people’s blogs and webpages. I’d kill for skills like that, but I was born too late to be part of the “wired generation”. I wonder if I could still learn. I know someone not much younger than me who has those skillz. Maybe I’ll ask her.
Oh, BTW… I changed my password. You’ll never figure it out.
And finally… you can kiss my fat Italian ass!

Back to school
That very phrase, “back to school” conjures up pics of me from the past… we’re reaching way, way back here to, say first thru fifth grade. For the class pictures, my mother always made sure my sister and I had on the cutest dresses she could find. Like that would make a difference in 35+ years or so…
It’s just me, li’l ole Stef, at nearly 44 years of age, going back to her last semester at her current institute of higher learning. Will have the Associates in May, then in August, I get to go to the Big Dance– working for my Bachelor’s at a real, honest to God four year school! And so I might be nearing 50 when I’m done… that doesn’t matter. The whole point is that I went, put in the effort, and achieved my goal. And if it’s at 50 years old (in a scant six years -!-), then so be it.
I’m doing all this for me, and no one else. It seems sweeter this way.

Happy New Year
As of 5 days ago, we all got a clean slate.
I try not to live in the past. After all, it’s in the past, so I try learn from it and move on. What’s that saying: learn from the past, live for today and don’t think about tomorrow?
I think that’s part of my problem. I let the things in the past haunt me, and I worry about tomorrow (usually with dread). If I could just live one moment at a time, and not worry so much about the past and the future, then I might actually have a better life.
Of course, some things need to be thought about before they happen: wills, medical care, funeral provisions, taxes… but for the most part, I’m trying to live one little chunk of time at a time, then on to the next chunk…
Did that make any sense to anyone besides me? LOL
For the rest of the 361 days we have left this year, I hope you make the best of it and get a lot accomplished. I wish you nothing but the best in all your endevors and goals.
That’s all from the Big Blue Couch.
